Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast intro where today I will be reviewing
another vodka soda drink that has come out. Isn't it interesting how every single company in the
world, doesn't matter if you make beer, bourbon, this summer you're launching a vodka soda with a
tiny bit of flavour in it. I feel like I was cool before this became cool. No, yeah.
I was on this train about...
You mean vodka soda in a glass?
Yeah, same thing.
Yeah, but you know how everyone's got a canned one
and it's always got elderflower or rose hip water in it?
But why do you think they're doing it?
Yeah.
Because that drink's super popular now.
Yeah.
Well, today I'm going to review one
which is not sponsored.
I just got it.
It's got ginger, green tea, honey, mint and lemon.
Bree's review before we've even opened it.
Too many ingredients.
I was like, why have they put all this crap in it?
I was like, just put lime and soda into it and a bit of vodka.
Oh, that was a good sound effect, mate.
Thank you.
You want some of this too?
I'd like some.
I'll use a straw and then you can have some too.
Yeah.
Okay.
Coronavirus. Keep safe out there, New Zealand. Stay safe, whanau. You like some? I'll use a straw and then you can have some too. Yeah. Okay.
Coronavirus.
Yeah.
Keep safe out there, New Zealand.
Stay safe, whanau.
Oh, where's the straw?
Here's the straw.
Why do you need a straw?
It's just a can.
Because Bree's going to have some.
Oh, sorry.
I'm going to taste it.
Sorry.
So will I do lips on the can or do I suck out of the straw?
I'll go no lips to the can.
Okay. I'll go no lips to the can Okay That tastes like Everything
Really?
Yeah there's so many flavours going on there
It kind of tastes like really weak ginger beer
But then it also kind of tastes like vodka
That's horrible
I don't know if it's horrible
I don't like that flavour
What else you got?
Oh we're going to open them all
I was going to slam some of these
On the weekend before the polo
Oh that's a good idea mate
Nah I won't say any more
We won't open any more
We've got vanilla and elderflower
Oh this one might suit you Brie
What is it?
Lemon, myrtle, lime and black tea
What's myrtle?
I think that's what they gave Jesus
When he was born
This is too fancy for me.
Yeah.
And cucumber,
grapefruit and mint.
There's a lot of stuff going on.
Yeah, a lot of stuff going on.
Has anyone sucked on this straw yet?
No.
No one sucked on this straw.
We'll give you a free straw.
Nice.
It was a very lovely thought
because they sent me
the same ones as well.
I don't think I like it.
I like it because I feel like
I'm drinking
but I'm also losing weight. You know what I do like? Yeah. I don't think I like it. I like it because I feel like I'm drinking, but I'm also losing weight.
You know what I do like?
Yeah.
I do love,
because I am a massive,
obviously,
connoisseur of the vodka lime soda.
I always check the back of these cans for sugar,
because I hate the ones that put heaps of sugar in it.
These ones have no sugar.
No sugar at all.
No sugar.
There's some out there that are masquerading as being,
it's just vodka and soda with some light flavouring.
It's a lot of sugar.
There's shit loads of sugar in it.
You might as well just have a Smoon off ice.
The aftertaste of those are pretty good, actually.
How good's a Smoon off ice, by the way?
Like when you're out.
Oh!
Nah?
Smoon off ice black?
You mean a double black?
Double black, even better.
No, they're terrible.
Nah, I think they're good.
I think if it's like 12 o'clock and you're like,
all right, are we doing this or are we not doing it?
And then someone goes, we're doing this.
I'm going to get you a Smirnoff Ice.
Yeah, fair enough.
And then I'm like, we're fricking on.
We're on here now.
This is for my Aussie listeners of this podcast.
And you guys actually might be for the Kiwi ones as well.
Did you guys back in the day, this would be like a few years ago now,
for the Smirnoff Double Blacks, was it a thing if you were out night clubbing,
would you get the Smirnoff, take a sip, and then they'd pour a bit of raspberry into the top of it?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was a thing?
That's good, yeah.
Like a snake bite in a bottle, yeah.
You know why?
Because the Smirnoff Double Black tasted like rocket fuel, that's why.
And I think that's why I think it's so good,
and why you can only drink them after 12.
I knew a guy who used to show up to parties with the 10-pack of Smirnoff Ice.
And drink all of them.
That was his preload.
The one in the cans?
The cans, you get them in the bottles as well.
Can you get them in bottles?
Yeah, they come in bottles.
You know my mum, one time, we should call her and ask about this actually,
she had one experience with Smirnoff Double Black.
What was it? It did not end well
for her. She was at this party
and apparently these young
people were like, oh you should have one of these.
My mum, massive
Cadbury drinker, drank one and
vomited in the garden.
What's a Cadbury drinker?
You guys don't say that?
Like if someone literally can only have like one or two drinks,
you're like, oh, you're such a Cadbury.
Oh, no, I've never heard that.
You've never heard that?
That makes sense, though.
Yeah.
What do you guys call that?
Tea totler.
See, I've never heard that.
I've never heard that.
Actually, a tea totler doesn't drink at all because they just total the tea all night.
What's a lightweight?
Yeah, lightweight.
Yeah, oh, you're such a Cadbury.
Oh, a massive pussy. I like that, though. Yeah, you're such a Cadbury. Oh, massive pussy?
I like that, don't you?
No, hey.
You cheap drunk?
That'd be another one.
Do you know, on the topic of massive pussy, by the way,
my wife said No, no, this is safe. We've got a spider living in our bathroom at the moment.
And I said, I'm getting rid of that spider tomorrow.
And my wife goes, no, don't get rid of the spider.
I love it.
And I've named it.
The spider's name is Arabella.
And I was like, you're spending too much time at home, woman.
And I said, no, the spider has to go.
And she goes, why can't the spider stay
and i said because i'm scared of them and she goes oh you ball sack
and i said wait so you're the one that's the massive pussy yeah i said why am i a ball sack
and she goes because pussy is derogatory to women why is someone who's scared a pussy
pussies are wonderful so in this house we don't say pussy anymore. We say ballsack. Yeah, ballsack.
To which I replied,
Why do we have to
be derogatory to anybody's genitalia?
And she goes, shut up, ballsack.
Let's just call everyone a butthole.
Yeah, good. We've all got them.
Some people
like a butthole. Hey, because you're the massive
pussy, are you an innie or an outie?
Um, excuse me. I've almost finished my ginger Some people like a butthole. Hey, because you're the massive pussy, are you an innie or an outie?
Excuse me.
I've almost finished my ginger green tea honey mint and lemon.
Oh, actually, here's a good question.
What's the standard drink on that?
I'm not driving you home again, mate. Don't fucking tell me what to do.
One.
This is the perfect drink.
One drink is one standard drink.
Really?
You know, you have a drink on the back and then you finish it and you go,
I've only had one and it's a craft beer and it says this is 2.4.
No drinking.
No drinking.
What's the rule?
The rule is if you're drinking, don't drive.
Yeah.
No, it's zero.
No, what's the actual rule?
It's zero.
The rule's zero, isn't it?
No, it's not zero.
I don't think so.
I think it's 0.04.
The rule is if you're drinking, don't drive.
I don't think so.
That's the rule.
That's the rule.
No, I don't think so.
I think the rule is you can have one in your first hour.
No.
No.
No, we're not endorsing this.
And one every hour after that.
No, you ballsack.
You're the one that's drinking and is about to drive home,
and you're like, no.
So who's picking you up?
We've run out of tape.
This podcast is over.
See ya.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3 p.m. Give or take See ya. Say Google, what's the time?
It's 3pm.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey Siri, when are Brie and Clint on?
Brie and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Cut everybody.
Brie and Clint live for another day.
Another day.
G'day guys.
Hello. Another dollar. That'day, guys. Hello.
Another dollar.
That's not a very motivating thing to say, is it?
Another day, another opportunity.
What my pa used to say, he'd always say to me, he's like, you shouldn't live to work.
You should work to live.
Yeah, that's a good way to look at it.
Is that the saying or have I totally screwed it?
No, that's the right way around, yeah. That is? Your life shouldn't be about work. Yeah, you shouldn't live way to look at it. Is that the saying or have I totally screwed it? No, that's the right way around, yeah.
That is?
Your life shouldn't be about work.
Yeah, you shouldn't live to just go to work.
You should be doing work.
To go and live and do stuff.
To fund your lifestyle.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks, Pa.
I actually have become obsessed with this Facebook page that I follow
where people just buy a van and they turn it into a home.
Yeah.
And they get like six dogs and then they put the dogs underneath the bed in the van and
then they just travel around.
Yeah, it's not as romantic as you think.
Yeah, I know.
It's a lot of using public toilets.
Not if you put a toilet on the van.
And looking for free Wi-Fi.
It'll be fun for a little bit.
I'm just saying, you bought a luxury van of sorts recently,
the Venute.
Remember when we drove that around?
I mean, it was probably the loudest
road trip I've ever had. Yeah, the loudest
windiest time I've ever had
inside with the windows rolled up.
Just take it with a pinch
of salt. Well, if this goes
badly, all I'm saying is I'm going to probably
buy a van. And a good Instagram
filter can make any lifestyle seem
attractive. Yeah, you've got a point.
Yeah, right? On the show
today, as you know, it's all anybody's
talking about $100,000.
You could buy the van. Actually, screw the van.
Buy yourself a house. Put a deposit on a real
house. Something without wheels.
$100,000. 4 o'clock and 5
o'clock. Review those clues.
Get on the phones with us.
The activators will play a couple of minutes before 4
and a couple of minutes before 5 o'clock.
Yeah, that's going to be awesome.
Also, Producer Ben, do we know how much is up for grabs
in the What's the Plot game this afternoon?
Oh, our movie guessing game.
Yeah, because remember we're stockpiling the mobile fuel
every time I win and it's up quite high now.
I think it's at $400 now.
Someone could go home with $400 today if they win.
I'd be stoked with that.
If you know your movies, you can play What's the Plot With Us at 10 to 5
and win $400 of mobile fuel.
That's, I mean, pretty good consolation prize.
Next on the show, consolation prize?
Yeah, if you don't win the secret sound or if you don't get through.
Oh, I see.
You can give that a crack as well.
Yeah, good, good.
Next though, we want to talk about bad drivers.
Yes, is this you?
Are you willing to admit to all of New Zealand that you're a terrible driver?
We'll talk about it after Harry Styles on ZM.
What were you like when you were like, you know,
training for your driver's licence?
Overly confident, very eager.
I can picture this.
And I thought I was the man.
I did.
And were you?
Well, I failed my learners.
Did you?
Yeah, I failed my learners.
But that's just theory. Like, I'm a man. Did you? Yeah, I failed my learners. But that's just theory.
Like, I'm a man.
I get my knowledge from the streets, literally.
You're book dumb but street smart.
That's exactly right, yeah.
To be honest, I am as well.
I think I failed my learners once. I definitely wasn't as good a driver as I thought I was,
and that's the problem, right?
You get in and you go, I've seen every Fast and Furious.
I'm born to ride.
Yeah, that is probably not the movie you should be learning from, I'd say.
You're like, where's the NOS in this Toyota Camry?
Excuse me, it was a Nissan Sentra.
Oh, same thing.
So you pretty much passed your driver's license first go.
When I restricted after I failed my learners, yeah.
Yeah, but that's what I mean. The practical side.
The one in the car?
Yeah.
Pass it first time.
Yeah.
Um, cause this is about a guy, uh, who he was a brand new driver.
He had just taken his, uh, driving test.
Um, and he was in a freshly registered car, so he'd just gotten his license.
He'd passed.
Yeah.
Um, and on the way home, uh, the way home from where he got his licence,
he was checking his phone.
Oh.
And minutes later, he drove his car, brand new car,
brand new licence, straight into a river.
Yeah, right.
Hard to not say serves you right if he was checking his phone.
Is he okay?
He's okay.
Everyone is okay.
No one got hurt.
What about the car?
Except for the car, which sank to the bottom of the river.
How do you tell your parents that when you get home?
Because they want to know, they're like, how did you go with the license?
Good news, I got the license.
Bad news, I lost the car.
So, I mean, you know, you win some, you lose some.
You win some, you lose some.
You win some, you lose some.
Yeah, apparently he dislocated his shoulder because he was in the car,
so he drove off a bridge because he panicked
and the car was filling up with water and he was able to get out of the car.
We laugh, but this is what can happen when you use your phone when you're driving.
Split second stuff.
So this was in China.
Apparently the fine for using your phone in China is only about $43.
Is it?
Yeah.
That's what it says on this article anyway.
In Australia, they recently just changed the laws that if you're caught using your phone whilst driving, it's a $1,000 fine.
I think it's $150 here.
Should be more, but I think it's $150.
Should be.
Well, $1,000.
Yeah.
Crazy.
$1,000 would scare you out of doing it.
Absolutely.
And that's what we need to do.
But, you know, I mean, I learned how to drive a car when I was 10.
Yeah, because you lived on a farm.
Yeah, and we crashed quite a few cars on the farm as well.
Did you have paddock bashes, though, that you could just do that with?
Yeah, but, like, it wasn't expected.
They didn't want us to do that.
Oh, okay, they weren't cars for crashing.
No, absolutely not.
Oh, okay.
They were cars to learn how to drive in.
I was doing, like, handbrake turns around corners and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I learned to drive sitting how to drive in. I was doing like handbrake turns around corners and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I learned to drive sitting on Dad's lap when I was, yeah, I think about 11, 12.
He would say, okay, I'll do...
In the driveway?
Yeah, no, no, on the roads around our house.
Oh, yeah, that's safe.
It's Roto-Rua.
It's Roto-Rua.
We're in a very quiet area.
There's no one on the roads.
He's like, I'll have my foot hovering over the brake just in case.
But yeah, you do the thing.
Yeah.
Oh, my God. What, the gears and everything? It's like a primitive driving simulator my foot hovering over the brake just in case. But yeah, you do the thing. Yeah. Oh my God.
What the gears and everything.
It's like a primitive driving simulator.
Yeah.
Gears, clutch.
When my brother, because he was about eight when he learned how to drive
and we had a manual car was the first car that.
Eight.
Yeah, he was eight years old or maybe nine.
Anyway, he was so small he couldn't see over the dashboard
when he was changing the gears.
Yeah, that's a real good indicator that you're too young
to be operating a car.
So you know what would happen?
He would be sitting there driving and he'd be like kind of sitting up
so he could see over the dashboard and then to change the gear,
he'd have to go under the dash, put the clutch in, change the gear
and then pop his head back out and then swerve whatever was in front.
Reach down with his left hand, push the clutch in.
Pretty much. Yeah. Weached down with his left hand, pushed the clutch in. Pretty much.
Yeah.
We want to ask people this afternoon,
do you think people are willing to admit that they're a horrible driver?
My nan was.
Was she?
She took one driving lesson and hated it so much.
Was like never again.
She knew that that was not the thing for her.
She never ever drove again.
That's like my nonna.
She just said, it's not for me.
You guys drive me around.
Which is kind of genius, really.
And how old was she when she said that?
The rest of her life.
I think it's when my mum was a kid, so she was in her 30s.
Yeah.
Yeah, and she never, ever drove.
She just said, it's not for me.
I'm not a good driver.
That's crazy.
My nonna was the exact same when she came over from Italy.
She's like, you Aussies are crazy drivers.
I'm not driving here.
Oh, right.
It takes a big person to admit that they're not a good driver.
It does.
But maybe you're willing to do that this afternoon.
0800 dial ZM.
Are you a horrible driver?
And do you have a big long list of accidents or things that, you know,
that makes you a bad driver?
Yeah, we'd love to hear it.
Bree and Clint.
A new driver in China has taken his driver's exam
and then he's crashed his car minutes after into a
river.
You feel bad if you were the guy who said, yeah, you're good to drive.
You're good to go.
Like if you were the guy who said, yeah, you're qualified.
You go, way to prove me wrong instantly.
My driving, like what's the guy's name?
Driving instructor told me to do a burnout.
It's a test.
It's a test.
My friend had this tow. The driving instructor told me to do a burnout. It's a test. It's a test.
My friend had this too.
The driving instructor said, okay, can you please speed up to 70 kilometres an hour?
And he goes, okay.
And he did.
And he goes, you fail. Oh, that's not fair.
You fail.
He goes, why?
He goes, this is a 50 zone.
He goes, but you told me to speed up.
And he goes, yeah, I was seeing how you deal with peer pressure.
I don't agree with that.
That's rough.
Yeah.
So that's what the burnout situation was.
Yeah, I did the burnout, still got the licence.
Oh, okay, different test in Australia.
Yeah, I lived in country Queensland.
So, we're asking you this
afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
are you just a terrible driver
and you're willing to admit it? Jasmine,
hi. Hiya.
Jazz, why do you think you're a terrible driver?
Well, aside from the fact it took me about two years
to actually get the balls to get more restricted,
I've got a really bad habit when I drive.
Oh, no.
What is it?
I can't seem to kick it.
So I'll be driving along and I'll start daydreaming,
probably like we all do,
and then I'm either a lot further along
or at my destination without realising it.
And I have a bit of a panic moment where I'm like,
how many people could I have just killed just then?
Yeah, Jaz.
Because I don't remember getting there at all.
I actually do this sometimes where you're not even,
you're not on your phone or you're not doing anything,
but have you had that before?
I don't think to the extent that Jasmine's talking about.
I don't think to that extent.
Where it's like I've teleported.
But it's like a couple of seconds.
So, Jazz, do you not drive?
No, no, I drive.
Right.
Can I make a suggestion?
Turn ZDM up real loud and every couple of minutes,
email us the hours you're driving
and every couple of minutes we're going to go,
Jasmine!
Jasmine!
We'll just come on the radio and go, Jasmine, focus!
Okay?
Okay.
Okay, cool, thanks. We got your back, Jazz.
Nicola.
Hi, Nicola.
You're a bad driver.
I'm terrible.
Oh, no, why?
I can clarify, I've driven to a power pole about four times.
Whoa!
What do you mean?
The same power pole or different power poles? No, I didn't give them enough time to fix it. It's been a a power pole about four times. Whoa. What do you mean? The same power pole or different power poles?
Oh, no, no.
I didn't give them enough time to fix it.
It's been a different power pole.
Different power poles.
Okay.
Not intentional.
Not intentional, but.
Do you just have a thing against power poles?
I mean, we've got a bit of a rivalry now,
but it wasn't intentional at the start.
Yeah.
They're not doing much.
They're just staying in the same place.
That's very concerning.
Thank you, Nicola.
Anton is fresh off a crash two days ago.
This is interesting.
A man who's willing to admit he's a bad driver.
Hi, Anton.
Hi, Anton.
Morning, how is it?
It's the afternoon, first of all.
He's feeling the effects from the crash.
Was the crash your fault?
Well, it was me and the fence, so it had to be my fault.
There was no one else there.
This fence just jumped out of nowhere.
What did you do, Anton?
I just started a new job, and I'm used to driving a ute.
I got a van, and I pulled out around the corner,
and it took the fence with me.
Yeah, right.
Got a bit of a new side scratch on the van, which looks pretty cool.
Is it your van?
Oh, yeah, but the company owns it.
So, no, it's not your van.
And finally, Bridget, hi.
Hi, Bridget.
Hi.
You might be the worst driver in New Zealand, Bridget.
Probably.
Tell us why.
Yeah, what's your track record?
I've crashed every car I've owned.
Every car?
Yeah.
Well, other than the one that I currently drive.
Well, not yet anyway.
How many cars are we talking about?
Oh, six?
Six?
You crashed six cars.
And is the reason that you get a new car because you crashed the old one?
Yeah.
Wow.
Can you imagine all the cars where you're picking a new car?
They're like, not me, not me.
Bree and Clint from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Let's cross live now to Dean McCarthy, who is in America,
where a lot of places are on lockdown.
The NBA has been suspended.
All games have been suspended for now because of the coronavirus.
And there's also reports out now about Tom Hanks, Dean.
Yes, Tom Hanks has confirmed on social media that he and his wife,
Rita Wilson, have contracted and are found positive to have coronavirus.
They're actually in Australia filming a movie right now,
and so they are now in lockdown in Australia.
This just 30 minutes before we then find out that in California,
every group meeting of 250 people or more has been banned.
So you cannot have any event of over 250 people anywhere for any reason.
Obviously, just to give it a Hollywood angle,
every premiere, everything's cancelled until further notice.
So there you go.
It's certainly hit Hollywood, that's for sure.
So California, that means no concerts, no sports events,
no anything of a large.
And I guess if you have a workplace that has over 250 people in it too.
Yeah, what does that mean?
Right.
Yeah, I can tell you.
I know TikTok, you know, the new TikTok thing that all the kids are into.
Everyone was sent home and they must be working from home.
And to a further notice, everyone, the entire company is working from home.
Wow.
So I think a lot of other businesses might follow suit.
I saw, because that's what America is doing,
that basically everybody is working from home at the moment.
I saw an interesting tweet that said,
once and for all, we're truly going to find out
which meetings could have been an email after all.
Because all meetings now are going to be emails.
Well, you know what?
It could be that from now on.
Yeah, right.
For certain companies.
That's very concerning about Tom Hanks and his partner in Australia.
Hopefully they're okay.
Yeah.
And the thing I would like to know is that did they contract the virus in Australia?
In Australia, yeah.
Or did they bring it with them?
Well, that's a really – I don't know the answer to that.
All I know is – yeah, that's an excellent question.
All I do know is that they are down there.
On his social media, he said he's down here in Australia.
They started to get some shivers, some fever,
and then they went and decided to get tested,
and that's when they were tested positive.
Because the last I heard in Aussie,
there was about 50-something cases of coronavirus.
Oh, yeah.
When was that?
A couple of days ago.
So it's not like it was crazy amounts.
Yeah.
So my feeling is maybe they got it somewhere else
and they brought it over.
Who knows?
All right, Dean, keep us updated.
Thank you very much for that.
That's Dean McCarthy.
He's our Hollywood correspondent in California,
in Los Angeles at the moment.
Just updating that news, Tom Hanks and his wife
have tested positive for COVID-19
in Australia, though.
They're in the Gold Coast.
Have you ever had a real grumpy
neighbour? Usually old,
usually a man.
Oh, well, that's stereotyping.
No, this is what I'm thinking of.
A grumpy old man type neighbour.
Grumpy old man.
I had, yeah, we had one that lived next door to my nan once.
Yeah.
And, I mean, we asked for it because we used to fling dog poo over into his yard.
Some old fellas have just had enough.
And if you're flinging dog poo into his yard, then I get it.
This guy, though, I don't know that it's justified.
A Perth man who only identifies as Steve.
Grumpy Steve.
Grumpy Steve has taken the law into his own hands
to prevent pesky children playing on the path outside his house
because he hates them.
Basically.
Well, you know what?
Each to their own, Steve.
This is a clip of Steve from Perth.
It's not a bike path. But it's not your footpath. That's...
No, but it's at the front of my house and it pisses me off on a daily basis.
Every day there's eight to ten kids playing right here. You can see that
they're doing it on purpose and it's just the constant...
Yeah, they're playing out here on purpose. So they're not on his yard, they're on the
footpath in front of his house.
And he hates it.
He hates their scooters.
He hates their trikes.
He hates their bikes.
So much so that he's decided to install a homemade speed bump.
Ooh, interesting.
On the footpath outside his house,
he has bolted a plank of wood to the concrete.
So it can't be ridden over.
That's genius.
No, it's not genius because if you hit it,
you're going to go over the handlebars.
And it's not his footpath.
Yeah, but is it like super visible?
Is it super visible?
It's just a piece of wood.
Like if you're biking along, you could probably miss it.
But what it does, what it does is it means that if you're in a wheelchair,
you can't use the footpath.
Yeah, that's a bit rough.
There's the wood there.
You can see it there.
Like it's a big piece of like.
Oh, you can definitely see it.
It's like a piece of two by four.
You're not going to miss that.
See how it's bolted into the concrete there?
If you're pushing a pram, you can't use the footpath.
Oh, you can go four-wheel drive on that thing.
You can pram over that thing.
All because Steve from Perth hates kids.
It's illegal, but
he's done it anyway. Why doesn't he just install
sprinklers and make
them spray all
over that area? Jeez, that's a good idea.
Unless it
creates an urban Perth
wet and wild situation. And it just creates
more kids.
I saw a meme yesterday on Facebook and it made me think really hard
because I was like, what did I do?
It was a meme pretty much.
It was like, what was your first job and how much did you get paid for it?
And I was sitting there and I was like, oh, I can't even remember.
It was so long ago.
That's what it feels like.
You can't remember your first job? I did eventually. But, like, can even remember. It was so long ago. That's what it feels like. You can't remember your first job?
I did eventually.
But like, can you remember straight away?
You worked at a petrol station.
No, that wasn't my first job.
That wasn't your first job?
Oh, paper route?
Oh, paper route doesn't count.
Does it?
Oh, it kind of counts.
If it counts, paper run was my first job.
And how much did you get paid for it?
$12 a week.
I thought you were going to say an hour.
And I was like, damn.
No, $12 a week.
I need to get on the paper route.
No, because I count your first job as, yeah, paper round counts.
Paper round, yeah.
The first job you showed up to where you had to go somewhere
and like clock in type thing.
My first job was sweeping the floor at an aluminium joinery factory
in Rotorua.
So these guys are making windows and ranch lighters and stuff
and it was my job to go around and sweep up all the metal shavings.
Right.
And I got $20 a week.
I had to sweep the factory three times a week.
I got $20 a week and they paid me in a cheque.
How cool, a cheque.
And literally, this makes it sound like I went to work in the 1940s,
but there was a clock where you put a card in You literally punched your card in at the clock
And it went, and wrote on the card what time you got there
And what time you left
I've had heaps of jobs like that
Really?
Yeah
I thought they were only on cartoons until I saw that one
No, that's, yeah, actually, because I was just about to say
One of the first jobs I had, I can't remember exactly which was my first job
Because I was quite
young.
I used to go to this factory and you have to suit up in this big white outfit with a
mask and boots and all this kind of stuff.
Yeah.
And you'd punch your card in and then you literally, our job was to, you know, like
you see in like supermarkets, like the mixed lettuces.
Yeah.
That's in a plastic bag, but it's all like mixed.
Yeah.
It's like, what do they call that?
Salad greens.
Yeah, like a mixed salad green bag.
My job was to mix the salad up and then put it in the bag.
That was my job.
We're so industrial chic, babes.
I used to eat so much of it.
Look at us factory workers.
I know, right?
You used to eat it?
Yeah.
That's not hygienic.
Well, to be honest, I only ever ate it when they put the snow pea shoots in, which is
very rare.
Did you eat it while you were on the production line?
No.
You did.
That is not hygienic.
I mean, you know.
You should have your mouth covered.
It's worse.
Did you not have a face mask on?
I don't think we wore masks.
God, you wouldn't get away with that today.
We wore hairnets.
Yeah, right.
But not masks.
Okay.
How much did you get paid?
I think I got paid, I want to say $11 an hour.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
$11 an hour?
I think so.
$11 an hour?
Yeah.
God, wages are better in Australia.
Seriously.
Producer Ben, what was your first job?
What were you doing at a young age?
Well, I would have said a paper round as well.
Yeah.
I did it for one hour once a week.
It was like the Sunday Star Times.
I got paid like $15 an hour.
I did it one hour.
That's good.
It was awesome.
That's pretty awesome.
I used to get guests from every single person because it was the Sunday Star Times.
What was your first real job?
Bartender.
That was my second real job too.
That I remember.
I don't think I had anything major for it.
Did you do a paper run until you were 18?
He's still doing it now.
It's a bit of side cash.
For 15 bucks for one hour.
I'd do it too.
Can you put me in touch with your last
employer? I'll do that.
Yeah, sure.
I'd love to do that. We work for them, it's the Herald.
Oh, true.
Actually, I'll just send Ross Boss an email. I'd love to do that. We work for them as the heralds. Oh, true. Yeah, can we get...
Actually, I'll just send Ross Boss an email.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, deliver some heralds.
I wanted to know from people, though, you know,
what was the first job you ever did and how much did you get paid?
And I just want to see what we get
and just reminisce with some people for a little bit.
What if there's someone listening whose first job
was assembling tanks
during World War II?
I'd love to hear from them.
How interesting.
You can also text us on 9696 or call us 0800-DIALS-NM.
What was your first job and how much money were you making?
Bree and Clint.
Come for a walk down memory lane with us.
We're all just reminiscing in here about, you know,
what was the first job we ever did
and how much we got paid
for it. Because, I mean,
times are different these days,
aren't they? Why?
Just because it's so interesting, even like
you said to me, you're like, oh, my first real
job was this and I got paid.
How much did you say? After
sweeping the factory, I worked in a gas station
and I got paid $5.50 an hour.
And I said, how old are you?
No, not that old.
Was that in the 70s?
No, not that old.
Excuse me, I was 14, and back then you were allowed to pay kids
whatever the hell you wanted.
So 14, that was about 40 years ago then.
It was recent-ish.
Ashley, what was your first job?
My first job was at a pizza joint,
and this was only about five years ago,
and I earned $6.50 an hour as a manager.
Wait, as a manager?
$6.50?
Yes, I started when I was 12,
and no youth rate in New Zealand,
so they pay you $6.50,
and then two years I was a manager doing in-store.
Girl, that was more than five years ago.
It definitely was not.
16, I'm only 21.
You were getting ripped off.
They haven't had youth rates in New Zealand for ages.
Really?
I know.
Exactly.
So they can pay you whatever you want.
Yeah.
The job was there, so 6.15, that was it.
Actually, this is just something, as an Australian,
I'm just learning about this.
No, no, I'm saying the youth rates thing has been gone for ages.
Ben, can you Google
when did New Zealand
abolish youth employment rates, please?
Because I need to know
if we need to take
Ashley's boss to court.
They abolished it ages ago, right?
But they were still paying you
that minimum wage.
Five years ago.
No, so they abolished
so there's no youth rates.
So they can pay under 16.
You can pay anyone whatever you want.
Oh, is that how it works?
Yes, I was under 16 and so I was doing a manager
and so I only got paid $6.50 because it's legal and it wasn't $16.
You were 12 and working?
Yes.
As a manager?
No, I wasn't a manager at that point.
It took about two years for me to start running a business.
She was 14, Clint, at least, when she was managing the joint.
Thanks, Ashley.
I'm pretty sure in Aussie you can't work until you're a certain,
I don't think you can work at 12.
You can't work until you're at least a metre and a half.
Leah, hi.
You must be at least this tall to work at this venue.
What was your first job, Leah?
I worked in a dairy and I was paid $2 an hour and my main job
was to do the 50 cent and
dollar mixtures. And let me guess, you blew
your $2 on lollies?
No, I saved up for a video
player.
Oh, nice. So did you get the best VHS
player you could find?
The cheapest.
We say certain things,
Leah, that really reveal our age,
and the best video player you could buy definitely does that for you.
Love it, though.
Thank you for the call.
And she wouldn't have spent her money on the lollies.
She was mixing them, so she would have mixed them through her mouth.
One for you, one for me.
Humphrey, hi.
Hi, guys. How's it going? Good. How are you, one for me. Humphrey, hi. Hi, guys.
How's it going?
Good.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Now, was your first job as a giant bear?
That takes me back.
That was grim.
That joke was grim, Humphrey.
I apologise for him.
Humphrey, Humphrey, Humphrey Bear.
What was your real first job?
Well, I actually worked In a movie theatre
That's no longer there
And I was paid
Six dollars
And sixteen cents an hour
Before tax
Okay
Right okay
Why is the movie theatre
Not there anymore
Is there
Is there something
It actually became
A cooking school of all things
Oh right
That's random
But if it's any indication
Of how long ago this was
The movie that was out
When I was doing this was Monsters, Inc.
Oh, yeah, that's ages ago, man.
What do you do for a job now?
I'm a scientist.
Whoa.
That's cool, Humphrey.
What do you kind of science?
Pardon?
What do you science?
No, he heard you.
It's just a dumb way to ask the question.
Yeah, I know.
But I was doing it on purpose to show how smart he is and how dumb I am.
Let's go to Barney finally.
No, we didn't talk to Humphrey.
Now we're talking to Barney.
Was your first job as a big purple dinosaur?
You guys are funny, real funny.
That is an impossible coincidence.
That's crazy.
No, that wasn't my first job.
Oh, that would have been so good if it was, though.
What was your actual first job, Barney?
Okay, so working for a family business,
Dad was a mechanic, and he decided to get us out
and deliver his pamphlet, and it was 10 cents per pamphlet.
10 cents a pamphlet is a good rate for pamphlets.
That's a dollar every 10 houses.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And if you dump all the pamphlets in a ditch, that's like $300.
No, no, no.
He was watching us.
He was driving right next to us.
There was no way trying to ditch us.
He was making sure we were delivering each pamphlet at 10 cents.
I love it.
He thought this through.
He was throwing the coins at you as you delivered the pamphlets.
But he wouldn't have been able to tell if you were giving to three to one house.
No, no, no, no.
But what he would do was he would make it a competition.
So my sister was on the other side.
So what he would say would be, okay, who would ever be the fastest?
Because like you said, whoever delivered the most pamphlets
obviously would get the most money.
So if you got to the other side faster than your sibling,
obviously you collected the more money.
Yeah, there you go.
What kind of show is he running?
The Pant Flit Olympics?
Thank you, Barney.
And our last call, the purple Teletubby.
What was your first job?
Is this Poe?
Come in, Poe.
Brian Clint.
COVID-19, a.k.a. coronavirus,
is the only new story at the moment.
We spoke with our Hollywood correspondent,
Dean McCarthy, last hour,
who said that not only has the NBA been suspended,
all gatherings of 250 people or more in California are now banned.
Yeah.
And Tom Hanks has got it.
Yeah, Tom Hanks and his wife,
they were reported about an hour and a bit ago
that they have both contracted it
and they're in lockdown on the Gold Coast in Australia.
He posted it on his Instagram.
Yeah.
One of the strangest Instagram posts from a celebrity you've ever seen.
Very strange.
So this is kind of good timing because it's all going to come down to good hygiene.
If we're going to curb the spread of this thing.
Yeah, wash your hands, make sure you try and not touch your face.
I think that's what their attention needs to be on at the moment.
Not like, ah, how do we survive?
I think the attention should be on
okay, how do we responsibly
stop spreading this as much as possible?
Clean your stuff.
And don't panic.
In that though, what's probably the dirtiest
item that you think you own?
Or the item that goes into the most places
and gets touched the most? I don't even have to think about this.
It's absolutely my phone.
It's your phone.
We talked about this last week when we were in Invercargill.
We did a phone-in topic of do you take your phone into the toilet?
And it was 90% yes, people go to the toilet with their phone.
I would be mortified for my phone to be swabbed.
So there's some advice here on how you can clean your phone.
Is that helpful?
Yep.
Okay. Consumer New Zealand says the best way to disinfect your phone
is to use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth
and that will remove most of the germs from your phone.
Okay, what if I don't have that?
A microfiber thing?
Yeah.
You do.
It's like a sunglasses cloth.
Oh.
The cloth in there, that's microfiber.
Oh, I don't want to use what I wipe my sunglasses with to wipe my phone, though.
Yeah, but surely you've got old sunglasses with an old cloth in there.
Yeah, maybe.
Use a regular cloth if you want.
If your phone has a case, you need to remove your phone from the case and clean the case itself.
I guess you could chuck it in the dishwasher.
Well, you could.
It's plastic.
You do, though. Put it in the washing machine.
To get it completely clean, you need to let
your case dry fully
before you put it back on your phone.
Otherwise, it's going to harbour
more bacteria because it's wet.
Apple,
actually I said you can just use a towel,
Apple have said that you should avoid
using towels or any abrasive cloth or paper towels.
You shouldn't use paper towels.
Really?
On an iPhone because of the risk of scratching it.
But if you don't care.
I mean, the amount of times I've dropped this thing.
Yeah, right?
It sits in your pocket.
Yeah.
Like it literally sits against denim.
Paper towel is least of my phone's worries, I think.
It says you should avoid using aerosol sprays,
bleaches and abrasives.
This just sounds like a bloody fun time, doesn't it?
Right?
I was just saying to Ben before
that we should just get a jug of water in here
and you should just dunk your phone in the water.
No, no, no.
No.
Surely it's waterproof.
I don't know if your one's waterproof. I know my it's waterproof. I don't know if your one's waterproof.
I know my Samsung's waterproof.
I don't know about yours, though.
No, Producer Ben, don't go get it.
You sure?
Is your new Samsung phone waterproof?
Yeah, and so is my last one.
I showed you.
I've put mine in water.
I don't know if this phone is.
You don't know.
This is waterproof.
Watch.
Look.
Here's my phone.
Here's some water.
Yeah, pour it into the hole in the bottom.
Pour it in the hole in the bottom.
It's good.
It's good. It's good.
Okay, well, now you've infected all of the floor
with whatever was on your phone.
Gross contamination is real.
Disgusting.
Anyway, here's how to keep your phone safe from COVID.
Brie and Clint.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.
Not really.
Picking a movie based on just the plot line?
That she can do.
Brie and Clint's What The Plot.
It's our movie guessing game where you go head to head with Brie
to try and guess what film I'm talking about.
That's right.
When we're playing for mobile fuel and we've changed the rules this year,
every time someone loses or I beat someone, it jackpots.
Yeah, the money goes up.
We're at $400.
That's a good amount to win.
It's a really good amount.
But probably not going to happen.
Grace is a huge fan of What's the Plot, but you've never played.
Hi, Grace.
Hi, Grace.
Hi.
Welcome along.
Welcome to the big time.
You're playing for $400.
You know your movies?
I'm pretty sure.
Like, a few weeks ago, I was listening, and I was naming them.
Yeah, okay.
All right.
Cool.
No worries.
We have a theme running this week due to the toilet paper apocalypse that we're facing.
The theme of today's films is movies that have toilet scenes.
Right, okay.
Famous toilet scenes.
I can't really think of what that would be.
Grace, don't wait for me to finish the movie plot. Buzz in with your name as soon as you think you know what it is.
Here's the first one.
Ted's dream prom date never happened.
Brie.
Something about Mary.
Something about Mary is correct.
Is it the Frank or the beans?
I don't know.
It looks like I think it's a little bit of both.
Franks and beans!
Franks and beans!
Franks and beans!
We've got a bleeder!
That's the scene where, um, what's his name?
Something gets stuck.
Yeah.
Ted's Franks and beans.
Who plays Ted?
Um, Ben Stiller.
Ben Stiller's Frank and beans get caught in his fly.
Yeah.
How'd you get the Franks above the Beans?
Here we go.
Monica.
Sorry, Grace, you're still in the game.
Yeah.
Movie number two.
In his second adventure, this super spy must return to 1969.
Brie.
Brie.
Grace.
Brie first, and if she gets it wrong, Grace, you have a free guess.
Austin Powers.
The Spy Who Shagged Me.
That's absolutely correct.
Yes!
Oh, my God!
Fat Bastard left a floater.
I don't remember eating corn.
Of course, the scene where Fat Bastard drops the tracking device
that was inserted into his anus into the toilet.
What brilliant, brilliant television.
Seeing as I'm enjoying the toilet round so much,
we're going to do the last question anyway, Grace.
Do you want to play the last question?
Yeah, sure.
This is for nothing, but just for pride.
It's for pride, yeah.
Here we go. Final movie.
Ellen and Ellie and mathematician Ian.
Brie.
Brie.
Jurassic Park.
God damn it.
Get it!
I love that movie.
Of course, the film where a man was eaten on the toilet.
Sorry, Grace, nothing for you today.
Sorry, Grace.
That's all good.
Thanks for playing.
Thank you.
There you go, that's What's the Plot.
Next week we play for $450.
Bree and Clint.
This is a crazy story.
And it's not a story, it's just something that potentially the future is kind of,
I guess, heading towards.
Okay.
It's a story about Instagram influencers
and obviously people who have big followings on social media accounts.
Yep.
And essentially they're saying that Instagram influencers
or social media influencers are now able to leave their accounts to their loved ones if they die.
Right.
In their will.
Right.
They can leave it to them as like something of value.
Yeah, okay.
Essentially, that's what they're saying.
Yeah.
So you're a bikini babe on Instagram.
You've got, say say you've got four million
followers and you do a heap to like bondi sands posts and then you pass away and you leave that
to your daughter and your daughter's like damn now do i have to do the bikini photos like do you is
it your job then to like populate the account with content as well well i'm not exactly sure how it
would work because i think people would notice like But they're saying as a result, like Instagram accounts now have a value attached to them
because obviously people make an income and make money off of these things now.
So they're saying it is something that you can leave, you know, to your loved ones in your will.
And it makes sense for the really big name influencers.
Okay. your will um and it makes sense for the really big name influencers okay because what i've done um i've went onto this website and i've essentially calculated um how much the account is worth based
on how much followers the account has uh with a variety of different metric systems. Okay. Which influencers have you used? So I've gone for some of the biggest ones.
I first did Kylie Jenner's Instagram.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
So she's one of the most followed people in the world
and she has 165 million followers.
And what I've done is I've taken how much apparently this website
is saying each follower is potentially worth and then I've obviously calculated
that with her amount of followers.
Okay, cool.
God, I sound pretty smart right now.
Yeah.
Well, we haven't heard the calculation yet.
Okay, so Kylie Jenner.
Someone check her math.
Kylie Jenner, her account, if she left it to say her daughter in her will, could be worth $1,127,856.
Whoa, that's a valuable password to get your hands on.
Isn't it?
Whoa.
Crazy numbers.
I also did, I think he's the most followed person on Instagram, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yeah.
Of course, the football player.
He's followed by 206 million people.
So I've done my math and apparently his account is worth $1,411,367.
Wow.
Could you do some New Zealand influences?
Yeah, I actually did a few New Zealand influences.
Like Shan XO or something like that? Yeah, I did did a few New Zealand influencers. Like ShanXO or something like that? Yeah, I did
an Instagrammer called
Clinton Roberts
which is you.
You have 36,000.4
followers
and your account is worth
just under $250.
You know what, I'll take it.
I'll take it. Hey, I'd take it Hey I'll take it
Hey, I'd take it
250 bucks, nothing to say
250 bucks for an account full of pictures of my cats and my baby
Yeah
That's not a bad deal
Mine's worth nearly a thousand dollars
Well, flex
Hey, if things come to, you know, whatever, I'll sell that thing on
Yeah, right
Why not?
Who would you leave it to?
Because if we're bequeathing these things to people in our world.
I'd probably leave it to my mum because she's all over it.
She doesn't know how to use social media though.
Yeah, well, that's a problem.
Leave it to your hot brother.
No, he doesn't like Instagram.
I want to know from people because obviously this is like, you know,
a pretty far-fetched thing because, I mean,
how often are you going to get left an Instagram account in someone's will?
No, it's not something that's happening commonly at the moment.
No, not very common.
But I want to know from people,
and I really hope we get people who call,
0800DIALZM, what did you get left in a will?
Oh, yeah.
What did you inherit?
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it could be anything.
It's interesting and grim at the same time oh yeah like
it's you know it's good and bad who died and what did they leave you essentially you can also text
us on 9696 instagram influencers are now able to leave their social media accounts uh to their
loved ones when they die in their will i I think it's a responsible thing to do,
or at least leave your passwords to someone.
Because have you ever thought about that?
If you don't do that, your Instagram account just sits in limbo.
Like Grumpy Cat.
Like Grumpy Cat.
What's happened with Grumpy Cat's account?
Well, you know Grumpy Cat didn't actually run his own account.
Yeah, that's a really, really good point.
It's a really good point.
But I am curious
Meow!
This cat said meow! My password is
meow, meow, meow.
I can't believe it!
What happened to Grumpy Cat's account? Because he
passed away. Grumpy Cat?
No, I'm just interested to see if they're still
using the account.
Grumpy Cat. Is that what you meant though?
Yeah, it is what I meant. Grumpy Cat last Is that what you meant though? Yeah, it is what I meant.
Grumpy Cat last posted on the 2nd of March, so the account's still active.
Yeah, because I don't think Grumpy Cat had the password.
Not what I mean, okay?
I'm trying to think of an example that was non-offensive.
I can't believe you went with Grumpy Cat.
We want to know what you got left in the will, and Lauren's joined us on the phone.
Hi, Lauren.
Hi. What happened to you? What what you got left in the will. And Lauren's joined us on the phone. Hi, Lauren. Hi, Lauren. Hi.
What happened to you?
What did you get left?
My nana stole the watermarks from the English bank.
What?
Yeah.
You laugh.
And she left them to you in her will.
She's got, yeah, one.
The queen.
Wait.
What do you mean by the watermarks?
Yeah, what do you mean?
Well, I'm trying to upload it, but yeah,
she stole the watermark they use for the currency.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Was your nan running like a counterfeit money printing operation?
Well, I wish she was.
I'd be rich by now.
I'd be reading you.
Laurie, can I ask, do you know how much it might be worth?
No, and I've tried Googling, but I don't know where to start.
Well, do you want to – we should get it from you and we'll help you.
Do you want to sell it to me for 50 bucks?
Yeah.
Posting it right now to my Instagram.
Okay.
You're an interesting...
Don't hear from me.
I've been arrested.
Well, good luck and Godspeed.
Can you please call us back and let us know how much it's worth?
Right.
Thanks, Loz.
Appreciate the call, mate.
Someone on the text machine said,
my dad inherited a $1 million property on Waiheke Island
from an uncle he never knew.
I always hope this happens to me.
That's like in a movie, eh?
You get a call from a lawyer who's like,
Sir, we need to see you.
Yeah.
I mean, some people are getting good stuff.
Some people aren't getting as good stuff.
Someone else said,
My grandma left me her two chihuahuas in her will.
I hate dogs.
She just dumped her chihuahuas on you.
Rach, what did you get left in the will?
I got left $50,000.
Whoa, who from?
Good.
From my dad.
Whoa, whoa.
Oh, sorry.
How bad?
Sorry to hear about your dad passing.
That's horrible.
But yeah, $50,000.
What did you do with it?
Did you feel the pressure to do something incredibly responsible
that would make him proud with it?
Well, currently it's still sitting in my savings
and I'm going to use it to purchase a house.
Oh, that's awesome.
Oh, that's very responsible.
Rach, and then you can feel like your dad was there with you
when you bought it and it's hard that, you know?
Because there would be the temptation to go,
Dad would want me to enjoy it.
Yeah, he'd want me to go on a holiday.
Dad said I looked really good with a Deadly Ponies handbag.
You know, there would be that.
Dad loved Deadly Ponies.
Jacob, finally, what did you get left in the well?
So after my dad passed away a couple of months ago, I got left his Coca-Cola collection.
So sorry to hear that he passed away recently, Jacob. What exactly is in the Coca-Cola collection. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that he passed away recently, Jacob.
What exactly is in the Coca-Cola collection?
So around the house, you know, he always displayed, you know,
all these Coke bottles.
So we were thinking maybe 50 to 100 Coke bottles.
We were like, okay.
And then I lifted up the garage door and there was about four pallets
worth of Coca-Cola stuff.
So there was like billboards.
There was like a 1970s cook robot.
Whoa.
Yeah, that stuff could be worth quite a bit.
Have you had it valued?
No, I'm trying to figure out how to value it,
but there's just like boxes and boxes of stuff.
Yeah, where do you start, right?
Far out.
Yeah.
On one hand, I hope it's worth something.
On the other hand, it'd be a bit sad to sell your dad's old collection, eh?
Yeah, you kind of want to keep it.
Yeah, but I mean, it's like four pallets worth,
so it's kind of just trying to go through. Keep some of it. Get rid of the, yeah, get rid of some to keep it. Yeah, but I mean, it's like four pallets worth.
Keep some of it.
Get rid of the... Keep your favourite bits.
Highly curate the collection and send the rest on its way, Jacob.
Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
I think that's the way to go, yeah.
Yeah, nice.
It's interesting.
A few people have texted through and someone said,
one of my mates was always very nice to one of his family's older family friends.
He would visit her, pick her up and drop her stuff off.
And she passed away without any family left and she left him her house.
He was only in his early 20s at the time.
Wow.
That's wild.
A whole house.
He obviously had an impact on her life, which is lovely.
Yeah, and if she had no one else to leave it to, it makes a lot of sense.
Be cool to keep it a surprise until you are dead, though.
Right.
And then you're like, I left you this.
Yeah, we take your birthdays, we throw them into a machine, and we figure out what was your number one song on your 16 my birthday. Free and Cleanse Birthday Banger. Yeah, we take your birthdays, we throw them into a machine,
and we figure out what was your number one song on your 16th birthday.
We're going to play with Terry first.
Hey, Terry.
G'day, Tez.
How are you?
Good.
How are you, mate?
Not too bad.
That's good.
What's your birthday?
26th of the 10th, 1988.
All right, you were 16 in 2004 on the 26th of October.
And Terry, this is your birthday banger.
Oh, Terry.
Yes.
Usher.
We want their one to play.
We want their one to play.
You know what's crazy is that, and you might not know this, Clint,
which you should being a big Usher fan,
is he's confirmed Confessions album too.
Yeah, it's on the way.
Yeah.
The sequel to Confessions.
It's coming.
That's the album that that song was on.
I think it was on the re-release of Confessions.
Also, coincidentally, I've selected Usher Confessions
for my Friday Oki choice for tomorrow.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so you can vote for that, Terry.
I'll vote for your song, you vote for my song, okay?
I will, I will.
Okay, cool.
No, no, no, we're not making those backhanded deals.
Hey, Amanda.
Hi, Amanda.
Hello, how are you?
Good, how are you?
Pretty good, thanks.
That's good.
Well, let's do your birthday banger.
What's your birthday?
Yeah, my birthday, 10th of July, 1984.
All right, you were 16 in the year 2000 on the 10th of July.
And the millennium brought us this number one hit.
That's all I want to go on.
Come on and leave me breathless.
Take me, take me.
The Cause.
The Cause.
The Cause.
The Cause.
Yeah.
Oh.
How good was it?
Amanda's not impressed. Not really. Weird family band dynamic, The Cause. Yeah, cool. How good was... Amanda's not impressed.
Not really.
Weird family band dynamic, The Cause.
They were sisters?
Yeah, but there was a brother in the band,
but he very rarely made it onto the posters.
I only remember the three sisters.
Exactly right, because they were the hot ones.
Yeah.
And they put them on.
Yeah, not the best birthday thing.
Okay, no worries, Amanda.
That's your feelings in this one. I quite like it. It reminds me of, I think, Notting Hill. Last one's for thing. Okay, no worries, Amanda. That's your feelings. I quite like it.
It reminds me of, I think, Notting Hill.
Last one's for Shane.
Hey, Shane.
Hi, Shane.
G'day.
What's your birthday, Shane?
31st of the 12th, 1979.
Right, you were 16 in 1995 on the 31st of December.
And on that day, this topped the charts.
Coolio.
Yanks. Nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, nothing wrong with that at all.
What year are we talking for this one?
That was 1995.
95, you were 16, and this was number one, Shane?
Yep, not a bad New Year's.
Not a bad New Year's at all.
It's aged well, that song.
Okay, we've got three good songs.
We've got The Cause, we've got Coolio,
and we've got Usher with Alicia Keys.
Say what your song choice is on three, okay?
One, two, three, Usher.
I knew it would be.
I knew it would be, and that's fine.
I just like it.
I've never heard that song in Birthday Bagger before.
We're going to split decision.
We're going to producer Ben.
It means that all three songs are back up for grabs.
And Kurt and Coolio, what's the decider, Ben?
What are we playing?
Yeah, I'm going to have to go Breathless.
I think the Usher one's the wrong one.
It's just a bit slow.
Yeah, it's a bit slow.
This one's a bit more upbeat.
I never picked you for a cause, man. Yeah, I just like the hook. Okay, no, a bit slow. This one's a bit more upbeat. I never picked you for a cause, man.
Yeah, I just like the hook.
Okay, no, that's fine.
That's fine.
It sounds fun.
Amanda, you've won birthday banger.
Congratulations.
Oh, thank you.
She likes the song now.
Yeah, Amanda's on board.
Come on, maybe after you hear it, Amanda.
Yeah, all right.
Bree and Clint, this is Birthday Banger on ZM. Thank you. Can't hide it, can't fight it, so go on, go on.

Zinni, Bree and Clint, that's the cause who have won.
We're copping heat on the text machine, Producer Ben,
but I've got no regrets.
No regrets.
That song has been viewed on YouTube over 47 million times.
Yeah, it's been out for 20 years.
Yes, though.
It's a great song.
I like it.
Look, I like it.
I like it.
Just something different.
They were a super hot Irish family band.
They were like the other version of Bewitched.
They're like the very talented version of Bewitched.
Yeah, that's true.
Because they played their instruments.
Although I think the Bewitched ones had a jam on the violin, didn't they?
I think they did too, yeah.
Anyway, the Coors play the violin too, so.
I love this text.
Someone said, yes, this song reminds me of my crush when I worked at Foot Town when I was 16.
I married him eventually.
Foot Town.
Oh, cute.
Where's Foot Town?
Oh, no, sorry. Foot Town. Oh, cute. Where's Foot Town? Oh, no, sorry.
Food Town.
Oh.
I was going to say,
it sucks that your origin story involves the word Foot Town,
but it doesn't.
Food Town is what Countdown was.
Right, right, okay.
That means that that song was their song.
That Cause song?
Yeah.
It reminds her of him.
Brie and I have done some extensive Googling, by the way,
and can confirm the Cause.
Still hot.
Still hot.
Still hot.
They've aged well.
I'm not speaking for the brother, but he was never my cup of tea.
Or Br Bree's.
Bree and Clint.
Here's a question.
To expose or not to expose a cheater.
Have you ever found yourself in that situation?
You know, did you stay out of it or did you get involved?
A situation like that has happened to a woman in Florida, America.
Her name's Kimberly.
She'd been on the dating app Tinder and she'd been matching with people.
She found this one guy who she'd been talking to for a little while and she said, here's my number.
Let's text.
It's easier than on the app.
That's when you know you're taking it to the next level.
When you move off app.
Move off the app.
Anyway, so apparently they moved off the app
and he messaged her from WhatsApp.
Yeah.
And she goes, why are you messaging me from WhatsApp?
Why don't you just text me?
Anyway, apparently he breezed over that
and then they continued to text
and they organised to meet up the next day for a date.
Yeah.
Anyway, her story is that she was on Facebook and you know
when that little section comes up and it says like suggested friends?
Yeah.
And apparently she recognised his profile picture that he was using
on Tinder and she recognised it on the suggested friends
on Facebook page.
So he was suggested by Facebook as a friend for her?
Yes.
Strange coincidence.
Strange.
Anyway, she was like, oh, I recognise that
because that's the same profile picture on his Tinder account.
Yeah.
Anyway, so she went onto his Facebook, hasn't like added him as a friend.
She just went on there to have a look.
And what did she find?
She found engagement photos.
A month earlier
he had proposed to his
girlfriend and he was
currently engaged. Who's
proposing to someone
and then a month later going on
secret dates with other people? Well, you know what?
What are you up to? Just don't propose.
It could have been maybe they'd broken
up within that month. Yeah. Anyway,
so what she decided to do was very fast turnaround. You know, I mean, but could be up within that month. Yeah. Anyway, so what she decided to do was.
It's a very fast turnaround.
You know, I mean, but it could be, you know, it could happen.
Anyway, she's went back onto the WhatsApp and she said, hey, is this you?
And she's like sent him the profile picture and the Facebook account.
Yeah.
And he was like, nah, wrong person, sorry.
And she goes, you and the wrong person have the exact same arm tattoo.
And the same face.
And the same face and body and everything.
Anyway, so he's denied it.
And then she has decided that she was going to message his fiance.
Oh, that's a big step.
So she's a stranger to this person.
And she's been on a date with him?
No.
They never went on the date?
They were set to meet up the next day.
Okay, yeah.
Anyway, so she's decided she found the fiancé's Facebook page
through his Facebook page.
She sent her a message and said,
Hey, are you in a relationship with such and such?
This guy's name.
Yeah.
Anyway, this girl said, Yes, I am.
He's my fiancé.
And then
Kimberly has proceeded to tell
her everything, sent her screenshots
of their conversations
and was like, hey,
I know this isn't any of my business,
but you need to know this. Yeah.
That's a big step
to take. Isn't it? Especially because
you're putting yourself in someone else's business. I know
you're doing the ethically right thing. You
absolutely are. If you've done your research
then you're doing the right thing
but you are stepping into drama that you
did not ask for. I know.
But some people
couldn't live with themselves if they knew
that they had the information that
could prevent someone from going
through with a marriage to someone who's doing that behind their back.
Yeah, what if she ended up going through with the marriage,
she has kids and then she finds out down the track?
I mean, but then is that any of her business?
They don't even know each other?
Yeah.
It's hard.
Yeah.
It's an age-old question.
If you know someone's cheating, do you tell the other person?
If the person is one of my friends,
I absolutely am someone who will tell them.
Yeah.
What if it was a stranger?
What if you saw a famous sports person out in town?
Oh, I don't know.
This is a complete hypothetical, by the way.
What if you saw a famous sports person out and you knew because on Instagram you've seen that they've got a partner
and you saw them hooking up with someone else,
would you inject yourself into their business
and DM their partner on Instagram?
I'm going to say probably not, no.
No.
Because one, I don't know the full details of their situation.
No.
And like, you know what I mean?
So if it was one of my friends, all I have to do is ask my friend.
You've got an obligation if it's one of your friends.
Absolutely.
And I don't want to see my friend.
Or to at least give the other person an ultimatum to go,
hey, I know. I've done that before too. You tell them or I'll tell them. Absolutely. And I don't want to see my friend. Or to at least give the other person an ultimatum to go, hey, I know.
I've done that before too.
You tell them or I'll tell them.
Yep.
I've definitely done that too.
It's a messy conversation.
We want to know from you guys,
has this ever happened to you?
And have you exposed a cheater?
Yeah.
Have you found out and then you thought,
nah, I'm not standing for this behaviour?
How did it go down?
0800 dial ZM or you can text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint.
My God, the texts have just started to flood in.
There's lots of details where people are taking their time.
Talking about this lady who was on Tinder was deciding to meet up with this guy.
They'd been talking for a few weeks and then he popped up on her Facebook in Suggested Friends.
She's clicked on it.
Turns out he was engaged.
And she took it on herself to tell the fiancé about it.
She found his fiancé on Facebook
and then messaged her the messages that him and her had been having.
If I was going to do that,
I would then after that block everybody and I'd leave.
I'd be like, cool, here's the info.
You deal with it.
There you go.
I've got to go.
Yep.
Drop the grenade and leave.
We've asked you, have you done it?
Have you exposed a cheater before?
Yeah, and how to go down.
When you weren't in that relationship.
Hi, Rachel.
Hi.
Rachel, what happened?
What was the situation?
So, I remember my partner had told me, I found out someone had missed his man told me.
Well, fast forward to a couple months ago, I found him.
I knew he was in a new relationship and I found him on a dating site.
I messaged his new partner, let her know she didn't believe me.
A few weeks later, I get a message back, sorry I didn't believe you and she had another message
from another girl
saying that
they'd been talking and this and that
So he cheated on you
in the past? Yeah
And then you found out that he was doing the same thing
to another girl? And you were like I don't want this
to happen to other girls
and she didn't believe you
Wow She came around I don't want this to happen to other girls. So you went out of your way and she didn't believe you. Wow.
No.
She came around.
Yeah.
She got chlamydia.
She came around.
Well, don't.
Oh.
Yeah.
Someone mentioned us, actually, because we're trying to decipher whether it's the right thing to do.
This is a great point that someone said.
Someone said you guys need to know there are health implications about these situations too, not just moral ones.
Yeah, exactly.
Like sometimes if you're like, I'm not getting involved,
but what if, yeah, there is health implications.
You'd feel disgusting if you and your partner were in the sort of relationship
where you didn't use anything because you thought you were in a committed relationship.
Horrible way to find out, isn't it?
And then you find out they're doing that.
Rach, thanks for your call.
Thanks for your honesty.
We appreciate it.
Thanks. Let's go to someone who wants to your honesty. We appreciate it. Thanks, Rach.
Let's go to someone who wants to remain anonymous.
Hello, Anonymous.
Hello.
Hi.
What happened with you, Anonymous?
I've been on Tinder a couple of times,
and you message someone,
it's going along really, really well.
Often men would exchange numbers with men, so I've always just done a quick Facebook search,
either using their number or their name or whatever.
And about 90% of the people I matched with were either in a relationship,
they were either just about to be engaged or had just been engaged
or about to be married, or they were married with kids.
Wow.
You're kidding, Anonymous.
What age group are we talking here?
I'm talking about people who are sort of my age,
so sort of from like 24 to 39.
Really?
Really.
Wow.
Really, yeah.
How good was Facebook back when you could search by phone number?
That was so good.
It's so annoying that they've taken that feature away.
I mean, it does make sense.
Nah.
Yeah.
Nah.
It makes sense, but yeah, it was just, for me,
I'm the type of person who will do my due diligence.
And when I saw that, I just...
Lucky you did, Anonymous. So, hang on, we didn't
get to the bit. When you find out,
do you tell the partners?
I've really
thought about it, and it's the same thing as the person
in your story, Brie. Like, you know, the partner's
often there. You can find them through the person's
Facebook. Yeah.
I'm sort of in two camps, and I
never have. One is I always think
about the repercussions, like, you know, somebody comes back
on me and says, also, how come you're hitting up my
partner? Yeah. Kind of thing. And the other
part of me is just like, I just
think you don't know what kind of arrangement
people have if they're in open relationships or whatever.
That's true. Okay.
Or if the other partner knows What's the other partner know?
So I'm just like, you know, and I always think of Girl Code, but then I think, you know,
I just don't want to overstep on somebody's toes or overstep the boundaries or whatever.
It's hard with strangers.
It's a really tough, and I think what we're figuring out from reading all these texts
too, and thank you, there are so many texts.
It's case by case, right?
There's no hard and fast rule.
It is definitely case by case.
Yeah.
Like, I think the main thing is, is most of the time, if you have all the information
and you are positive about it, then I probably would lean towards saying something.
Yeah, but I would urge you to first of all keep yourself safe.
Yeah, well that's the thing too.
Because don't risk your own safety over it,
but also think about the person you're about to tell's feelings
because it's a hell of a bombshell to drop.
Yeah, there's so many texts that have come through.
Can we revisit this tomorrow? Yeah, we'll go back to it tomorrow. Only because we've got to of a bombshell to drop. Yeah, there's so many texts that have come through. Can we revisit this tomorrow?
Yeah, we'll go back to it tomorrow, yeah, only because we've got to move on.
Look, if you're on the dating scene and if you've tried all the apps and nothing's working,
well, there's a new dating app.
Okay.
And it might not be for you, and it isn't for everyone.
It's a bit of a niche dating app, but it could be just the thing you're looking for.
Right, okay.
There's got to be something out there for everybody.
Yes, exactly.
The app is called Dinky One.
That's one O-N-E.
Yeah.
It's the new dating app designed for those with small male appendages
and for those who love them.
Wow.
So it's for men and women.
Yep.
Obviously for the men who have the smaller appendages
and for the women who enjoy that.
Prefer that.
Yeah.
Wow.
So apparently the app's membership is going gangbusters.
Yep.
It's up to 28,000 members.
Yep.
Which is pretty good.
Small members.
Yeah, I mean, you know, it's a small number of members, but it could grow.
Oh, no, I meant small members.
Oh, right.
Members with small, excuse me, there are a lot of jokes being made here.
But in reality, we had this conversation off air and everybody deserves love.
Absolutely.
And I think, you know, people, it's actually really horrible when people make fun of people
for something they can't control.
Absolutely right.
You know?
And I think it's awesome because I think an app like this is great because obviously I
think men who are like that struggle quite a lot.
But this just takes that whole conversation, puts it out in the open.
It goes, hey, I am this. Yeah. I have puts it out in the open it goes hey I am this
I have this
if you like it
sorry not am this
it doesn't define you
I have this thing
yes
this thing about me
and you found me on this app
so we don't have to have
this awkward conversation now
exactly
boom done over it
the bit that interests me
is that
obviously it has to have
people from both sides
to be working
it can't just be a whole lot
of guys in there
exactly
who are looking for women
but there are no women there.
There must be women signing up to this app.
I've got some stats.
According to the app, currently 71% of current users are male,
27% are female, and 2% are trans.
And importantly, you can choose from 24 gender identities in this app.
Oh, interesting.
Okay.
Yeah.
And apparently the average size, don't forget, it says here, don't forget that the average
size means that 50% of males in the world are bigger and 50% are smaller.
Half and half.
Yeah.
Interestingly, I wonder if there's like qualification
criteria? What do you mean? Like, do you
have to prove that you
deserve to be a member
of the Dinky One
dating app to get a profile?
As a guy... Yeah, do you have to
show proof? Do you have to show proof?
Or do you have to have someone to vouch for you?
Yeah, that's interesting. Because
what if you go on there as a... This is quite a raunchy conversation, that's interesting. Because what if you go on there as a,
this is quite a raunchy conversation, by the way,
but what if you go on there as a perfectly averaged-sized gentleman
and you go, I am the biggest person in this dating app?
Well, yeah.
What if that's your, like, you know?
It would give you confidence, a boost, wouldn't it?
Like someone who used to play in the NBA showing up to play mini ball.
It's just, it's not fair. It's not.
It's not fair. Well, I don't
imagine you have to post a picture
of that as your profile
picture. You know? I just think
it means if you're on... Or do you have to give stats? You have to go
height, age, weight,
size, length. Yeah.
I don't know. I think
I think it just means
if you're on the app
and you're meeting someone on the app,
it goes without saying.
Everything's up front.
Exactly.
Yeah, there you go.
I think it's great.
The name of the app one more time?
Dinky One.
Cool, thanks.
