Starting point is 00:00:00 podcast. First thing you're going to hear in the show today is a conversation that Brie and I have about toast. Yep, it's gone there. Behind the scenes obviously everything is so dark at the moment and there's only one thing in the news which if you're listening to this podcast 50 years in the future we're talking about COVID-19. Yeah it is literally taking up all of the media outlets it's very hard to find anything else to talk about And you know, there's only so much of our own lives that we can talk about So today we talked about toast Well, it was actually because Tom Hanks was in the news
Starting point is 00:00:35 Because he posted that he was eating Vegemite on toast And he's got COVID Damn it, everything is linked Anyway, you'll hear all of this The one thing we don't do in the show is reveal the results of the poll as to who makes the best Marmite toast. Yeah, because if you follow us on Instagram, we popped a little poll up there where Clint made a piece of toast
Starting point is 00:00:55 and then I made a piece of toast with Vegemite or Marmite. And we just asked which way do you like it better. Yeah, I can reveal that after about two and a half thousand votes, actually this is worth one of these, 13% of people like my toast. 87% of people think you make the better Marmite toast. I will take that. That is a good solid win for me because I've won
Starting point is 00:01:25 nothing lately. I'll take it. I will take it. God, we should do our cups of tea tomorrow. Cups of tea is a good one. Do a side by side of our cups of tea and on face value. God, we really are scraping the barrel. You know what we should do tomorrow? I've got an idea. We both make a cup of tea
Starting point is 00:01:42 so that we can do that content and then we do a biscuit dip-off challenge. Oh, yeah. So we both dip a biscuit into our hot tea, and the first person to take it out loses. But if you leave it and it breaks off in there, you're out. You lose as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Let's just go to our live studio audience. Is that the sort of content that would compel you guys to engage in a radio show? I've already written it down for tomorrow I think that'd be good well could we call it a tea bag off? yeah a bag off maybe not a tea bag off
Starting point is 00:02:18 it's a dunk off that's the thing it's not a tea bag off oh yeah it's a dunk off although the act is tea bagging technically and technically it is in a cup of tea side note anyone ever been tea bag off. Oh, yeah. It's a dunk off. Although the act is tea bagging, isn't it? Yeah, technically. And technically it is in a cup of tea. Side note, anyone
Starting point is 00:02:28 ever been tea bagged? Nah. Not on purpose. Okay, cool. Right. Prepare for that on the show. Put it on the list.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Excellent. Yeah, we're good. If anyone has any other suggestions that we can do, trust me, we will take anything at this point. We are not that desperate. No, I am.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I always have been. We are not. Please put it in our podcast group. We're happy to take suggestions. You guys make our show for us. That'd be helpful. Can you imagine we do a show just of content made up by you guys? We just put the run sheet attached and we're like, fill it in.
Starting point is 00:03:05 I would love that. By the way, just to give you some hashtag real talk, there's a very real chance that, like we don't know day to day if we're going to be able to come into our studio and do the radio show. We kind of find out each day. It's fine at the moment. I think everyone feels like it's okay, but if things ramp up
Starting point is 00:03:21 seriously. We might have to do it from a bunker. We don't have access to a bunker. That's what you think. Do you have access to a bunker? Hey, I'm maybe one of those doomsday preppers. Hey, can you imagine those doomsday preppers
Starting point is 00:03:37 that all be like, I told you so! You thought you guys were so smart making fun of me. I'm going to go live in my bunker for the next two weeks. Don't come to me when you want some dehydrated lasagna. Oh, yum. And I'm going to go kill a rattlesnake and suck its blood out of it. Why?
Starting point is 00:03:55 That's what they do. I watched this one episode and they were living in the desert and apparently if there's no water, they kill a rattlesnake and they drink the blood. No one ask any questions about that. We're running out of time, okay? Just believe it. Why a rattlesnake?
Starting point is 00:04:09 And I was like watching the episode and I was like, okay, I understand, you know, what you're saying, you know, emergency. It's a fetish thing. It's a guy who just wanted to suck a snake. But why are you doing it now for this episode? There's water in the tap. Here's today's podcast, everybody. Enjoy. Be safe.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Be safe. Wash your hands, you dirty pig. Hey, Google. What's the time? It's 3 p.m. Give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Starting point is 00:04:41 Hey, Siri, when are Bree and Clint on? Bree and Clint are on air in 5, four, three, two, one. Hi, everybody. Good afternoon. Crazy times, huh? Very crazy times. And you know what? We're still going to be here.
Starting point is 00:04:54 We're going to turn up and hopefully our job for you guys is to provide a bit of light and obviously any information you guys really need and only the facts. That's what we're here to do. Totally right. That's the best way to look at this. I know that people out there, some people are really stressed. Some people are just,
Starting point is 00:05:12 they're just worried about the uncertainty. I just went outside to buy some coffees from the cafe just across from work and I said to the girl, I said, just as you normally do, I said, hey, how are you? And she just turned to me and she goes, scared actually, really scared. So there's all sorts of emotions charging around but what turned to me and she goes, scared, actually. Really scared.
Starting point is 00:05:25 So there's all sorts of emotions charging around. But what we will try and do is, yeah, lift the mood a little bit for the afternoon. Yeah, we're here to have some fun because, you know, I think in times like these where, you know what? I think, you know, it's okay to be scared. But I think, you know, the right people are doing the right things. And we need to remember that here in New Zealand Zealand we're in one of the safest places. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:05:48 Like Jacinda said earlier, this all seems really, really freaky, but we've gone hard and we've gone early. That's what we need to do. And then hopefully, you know, we can get all on top of this. But our job here is to provide a bit of light and have some fun. And honestly, my microphone has never smelled so clean. Can I say, as an upside, the refreshing pine scent of dead hole that I'm getting from the entire studio at the moment
Starting point is 00:06:11 is rather invigorating. I've never seen this place so clean. It is nice and clean and a good reminder. Maybe just do a bit of a clean up. You know? If something good comes of this and it's that you get a clean flat, then it's not all bad.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Is that a silver lining? I'm not 100% sure. We're going to open today's show. Obviously, all the usual stuff is coming up. Secret Sound is still on. Someone still has to get that $100,000. So those are still happening at the same time. But next, we're going to fire up an old Marmite and Vegemite debate.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Yeah, that's right. Obviously, you've seen in the news Tom Hanks diagnosed with coronavirus, him and his wife. They're in isolation in Australia at the Gold Coast at the moment. But he's posted something on Twitter that has people absolutely going nuts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:58 He has some people concerned for his well-being and we're not talking anything virus related whatsoever. No. It's about something he's eating. We'll have a good old Marmite, Vegemite conversation in a couple of minutes. Bree and Clint, this is ZM. Bree and Clint.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Strange times, man, when Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise. Tom Hanks. He has strange times. He has a lot of strange times involving Tom Cruise. Tom Hanks is one of the most visible people to contract something like COVID-19, right? We learned that last week.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah, him and his wife, Rita Wilson, who's also an actress, they both got put into self-isolation on the Gold Coast at the end of last week, I think it was. Yeah. And so they're both self-isolating. They're both fine. They're okay. Or is Tom Hanks okay?
Starting point is 00:07:50 This is what people are starting to ask, right? This is what people are starting to ask because nothing to do with the virus, but he put on Twitter actually 12 hours ago a picture of a little kangaroo, some Vegemite and also two pieces of toast that he'saroo, some Vegemite, and also two pieces of toast that he's obviously put the Vegemite on. And people are concerned with the amount of Vegemite he has put onto those two pieces of toast. It is out of control.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Apart from the argument about whether Vegemite or Marmite is even an edible spread, which Bree and I both believe that it is, we think that it's delicious. Yes. The amount that you put on your toast is hugely triggering for people. I think most people would fall into the category around the same area, but then obviously you have the crazies who obviously go way not enough, who I like to call Marmite or Vegemite beginners. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:46 And then you've got the complete psychos who put so much on that you cannot taste anything else for three days. Oh, that's judgmental, what you just said there. Oh, is this an indicator of where I stand? No, it is an indicator. Can I tell you I don't believe that if you can see toast that you've put enough Vegemite or Marmite on. I know the one you're talking about,
Starting point is 00:09:05 it's like a Vegemite slash butter swirl. And I'm like, ooh, yuck. That is the best. The Vegemite butter swirl. No, coat the toast in butter and then cover that thing in a thick black coating. More like a road, really. So you cannot taste anything else but that.
Starting point is 00:09:22 That's exactly what I want. The toast is just a vessel to get the spread into my mouth. Anyway, Bree and I, there's no way that we're going to agree just talking about it. So what we've done is we've run out and we've made some toast. Yes. We've both spread on. It's a very serious process. Yeah, we've both spread on what we think is the appropriate amount of topping.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Absolutely. And we're going to reveal our toast to each other at the same time. Okay, I haven't seen yours, you haven't seen mine. Okay. Here we go. Three, two, one. I can see bread on yours. Yeah, you're meant to.
Starting point is 00:09:53 No. Yours looks like... You've got gaps. You look like you've put so much on, it looks like tar. Yeah, it's thick. It's three-dimensional. It looks like it's going to clog my arteries. You try some of mine and I'll try some of yours.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Okay. I don't want'll try some of yours. I don't want to have all of yours because... Prepared in sanitary conditions, we both hand sanitised first. Bon appetit, Brie. I don't even want to eat this. You have to. I don't want to eat your crusty looking mess. Too much bread. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yours tastes terrible. Too much bread. Why don't you just have butter on your toast? Like what's even the point of that? It's not having the Vegemite with bread. Yes it is. Yes it is. I feel the same about peanut butter. It's good. It's good
Starting point is 00:10:35 you get a full flavour hit with my one. That's exactly. And this is Oh if you're not going to have it I'll have it. Give me mine back. Take yours back. Do you want me to rub some of mine on yours before I give it back so it, I'll have it. Give me mine back. Okay. Take yours back. Do you want me to rub some of mine on yours before I give it back so it gets enough topping on it for you? No.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Mine is, that is perfect. I mean, you can't get more perfect than that. If the scale is not enough, some, and a lot, you're on the some. You're smack bang in the middle, right? I think I'm in the middle. Or maybe a little bit more towards a lot. I know I'm at the upper end. I know I'm at a lot. Or maybe a little bit more towards a lot. I know I'm at the upper end. I know I'm at a lot.
Starting point is 00:11:06 You're out the end. But I think this is the correct way to have it. That's why I do this. Let's go to a quick poll with the producers. Producers, if these are the two options, you're not having any other options, who are you picking? Yeah, who do you want to make your toast for you?
Starting point is 00:11:19 Me or Bree? 100% Bree. Yours is a horrific lunch. Really? It's terrible Producer Ben I think yours is not enough Brie But I definitely think you've gone way too much Clint
Starting point is 00:11:30 Really? I'd have more than Brie Yeah I can see I know what you mean Clint It's only two knife fulls per piece I think you can't see it properly There's quite a lot on here There is quite a lot
Starting point is 00:11:41 Have I got Marmite on my teeth? Yes You've got Marmite everywhere Snap hole New Zealand When it comes to Vege Have I got Marmite on my teeth? Yes. You've got Marmite everywhere. Snap poll, New Zealand. When it comes to Vegemite or Marmite, where do you sit? Do you like a lot? Do you like some? Do you like a little bit?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Or do you like none at all? I love when you've got a full mouth and you talk on the radio. Can you do that more often? Thanks. I love you too. Just know what we're saying. The poll is on. Let us know how you have your yeasty spreads, New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Text us also on 9696. Got a little... Welcome to a passionate yeast spread conversation, New Zealand. Don't ever call it a yeast spread. That's what we're talking about. No. It's a yeast spread. Don't call it that.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Marmite, Vegemite, Promite, British Marmite, they're all yeast spreads, mate. Stop saying that. Fine. Obviously, as a male, you don't understand. Toast conversation then. Look, I'll class it up if you like. We're having this conversation because Tom Hanks is being
Starting point is 00:12:39 criticised for the amount of Vegemite he put on his toast. He's obviously a novice. He's an American, doesn't usually have Vegemite, and he's gone too hard on it. It happens all the time. Or has he put the perfect amount on? I think his toast looks delicious. That's how I would have my toast.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It looks scary. We want to know from you what side of the – see, what am I supposed to say if I can't say yeast spread? What part of the – You can say Marmite or Vegemite. But mine's more concise. What am I supposed to say if I can't say yeast spread? What part of the... You can say Marmite or Vegemite. What part of... But mine's more concise. Fine.
Starting point is 00:13:06 What part of the Marmite or Vegemite conversation are you on? Rachel's called through. Hi, Rachel. Hi, Rachel. Oh, hi, guys. So I actually was ringing because yeast, you can't call it a yeasty spread. That is disgusting. You're putting me off my Marmite.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Thank you, Rachel. Obviously, he doesn't get it. Okay, I've been educated and I apologise, okay? Yeah, I think Brie needs to give you a little feminine talk. I'll talk to you about it. No, no, I get it, okay? I get it. No, it's okay. I'll talk to you about some stuff. I'll talk to you about some female
Starting point is 00:13:38 stuff. I know where Marmite comes from. Rachel, where do you sit, though? Are you someone who likes a little? Some medium amount? Yeah, like a small, medium, or large amount on your toast? No, I like lots and lots of butter and then a swirl of my mite or Vegemite. A butter, Vegemite swirl. No, you're missing out, girl.
Starting point is 00:14:00 You're missing out. Rachel, I knew I could count on you for more than just one thing. You've had my back twice this afternoon. We can all agree on the Vogel's part. That's fine, but're missing out. Rachel, I knew I could count on you for more than just one thing. You've had my back twice this afternoon. We can all agree on the Vogel's part. That's fine. But that's fine. We'll put you down for a buttery swirl. Let's talk to Melissa.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mel. Hey, yes. What are your thoughts on this debate? So I completely agree with Clint. I don't have it. I don't eat butter or margarine. I never have, but it's layered with Marmite.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Okay, well, you're just a next level person to me. Wait, you go dry toast and then straight Marmite onto dry toast? Yeah, I've never eaten butter or margarine. I never liked it. So it's just straight Marmite or Vegemite. Like so much that when I've finished eating, I have to wash my hands and my face because it's everywhere. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Hey, Mel. You're all right. The butter is the're alright. The butter is the lube. The butter is the bit that keeps everything moving around. The butter is gross. No, the butter is they go together. You can't have one
Starting point is 00:14:56 without the other. Okay, fine. And Alex can contribute to this as well. Alex, hi, welcome to the show. Got a lot of varied ways of enjoying our favourite spread out there, but please give us your take. It's got to be a thin spread, but I have to say, it's so refreshing to hear real talk on the radio.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Talking with your mouth full. So good. Yeah, you like it? Speaking my language. Yeah, that's all right. You're very welcome, Alex. Some people criticise us, but I think we're pioneers. Some people would say sarcasm.
Starting point is 00:15:25 We would say just, you know, genuine conversation. Oh, sarcasm. Keeping it real. No, it's good. Thank you, Alex. We appreciate that. He's won for the sparingly of Vegemite. The sparse amount.
Starting point is 00:15:37 So what have we got? We've got a butter swirl. We've got a thin spread. And we've got no butter all Marmite. She's not even counted. I don't even know what Mel was onto. I think this poll's too divisive. I think it's cancelled.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Of course you're saying that. No, we're going to put a poll up on our Bree and Clint Instagram right now. You can actually see how we've made our toast. Perfect. And this is a simple question for you. If you had to have toast made by either Bree or me, whose toast would you choose based on this visual representation? Go get the visual representation, Clint.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I feel like you're not going to like the results. Don't care. As long as I don't have to eat your toast, I'll be fine. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Dean's on the line with us. Dean, tell us what's going down. Obviously, America is way ahead of New Zealand as far as the COVID-19 crisis is concerned, but now it's having an impact on celebrities' weddings as well. It is. This is an exclusive. You will not read this anywhere.
Starting point is 00:16:39 This is not public knowledge, but I can confirm because one of my friends was invited and just today disinvited. Essentially, Emma Stone and her marriage to Dave McCary was supposed to be this week. Obviously, highly confidential. No one knows that. Kia ora, I'm Simon Bound and I host Business is Boring, a podcast that reckons it's anything but. Join me each week as I chat with some of the most interesting and inspirational players in the Aotearoa business scene and learn what it takes to make it happen from accidental
Starting point is 00:17:11 entrepreneurs to the brains behind some of the country's biggest brands. If you're into business or want to be, then make sure you follow Business is Boring wherever you get your podcasts. Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network in partnership with Spark Lab. Supposed to be this week and she has cancelled the wedding, her own wedding, because of the concerns around the COVID virus. So pretty sad.
Starting point is 00:17:37 They'll reschedule. It's all right. They'll reschedule. That is just one of the... Yeah, they'll be okay. So basically in America, I think they've lowered it from gatherings of 250 people down basically in America, I think they've lowered it from gatherings of 250 people
Starting point is 00:17:46 down to 50 people, I think. And I've heard that they're going to be stopping interstate travel. That's what I heard today. I don't know how serious it is. I went to the supermarket before. All the shelves are cleared. L.A. – I was in L.A. this morning. It was like an Armageddon.
Starting point is 00:18:00 It was so weird. Cafes just empty. It's really – it's very weird over here right It was so weird. Cafes just empty. It's very weird over here right now. Super weird. The wedding situation is not just obviously a celebrity thing. There'll be people with weddings coming up every weekend going forward. It's still wedding season here
Starting point is 00:18:16 in New Zealand and you're going to have not just issues of whether you can hold the event, but if you've got family coming from overseas here in New Zealand, Dean, anyone who lands has to go into isolation for 14 days. So if you're flying in the week before the wedding, you're going to miss it. Yeah, you won't make it. Dean, I would like to know, obviously this is an exclusive you've brought to us, how
Starting point is 00:18:36 did they know Emma Stone and her soon-to-be hubby, your friend? How did they know each other? Yeah, he's actually an actor. He's not a famous actor or anything like that, but he's an actor. I think they've known each other for a while. Yeah, he doesn't. Yeah, they've been friends for a while. I don't think it's through maybe before she was really big and famous,
Starting point is 00:18:56 but he's just a friend of hers. Yeah, they're friends. Is he still going to be a friend of hers now that he's leaked the wedding information to you? Probably not. No, but that's why you're good to you? Probably not. No, but that's why you're good at your job, Dean. You're a gossip hound, and you're willing to sacrifice friends to get us the scoop, and we appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Thank you, Dean. Stay safe out there. We're thinking of you. Thank you. Thanks, Dean. He's in Los Angeles giving us his updates, which, I mean, it's a helpful insight into what's going on in the States at the moment too, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:19:22 Yeah, it is quite interesting because obviously, you know, we just get what we see in the media, but he's there. He's living it day to day. Free and Clint. Do we still love a countdown? Countdown on the show? Love a countdown.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Why is it so much fun? I don't understand. Because it feels like a community event. I love it. Together, as long as no one knows the result, you can get together and you can place your little bets with each other. It's good. And I guess like for most countdowns,
Starting point is 00:19:46 people obviously put in what their top is and what their bottom is and, you know, their suggestions. Yeah, most recently when we did was the Friday Jams countdown. Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah. It was great. For my Kiwis listening, but for my Aussies listening, they would know about the most famous countdown in Aussie,
Starting point is 00:20:02 which is the top 100 that Triple J do. Yeah. It's the most famous countdown in Aussie, which is the top 100 that Triple J do. Yeah. It's the most famous one in Aussie. People get, you know, obsessed with it. Everyone gets their votes in. Like, it's a big deal. But I saw over the weekend, I'm not exactly sure. I think it's for the decade, for the end of the decade,
Starting point is 00:20:20 they're doing the Triple J top 200 of the decade. Right. So they're doing another countdown. God, they're a little bit late. Yeah, the decade. Right. So they're doing another countdown. God, they're a little bit late. Yeah, I know. But hey, I'll still take it. This would have been great on New Year's Eve, guys. I'll still take it though.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Yeah. Because you know, there's lots happening. We could still do it now. Good distraction. We're into the new decade. Right, okay. And so over the weekend or so far, 200 to 100 has been released. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Does that make sense? Yeah. And then obviously they're going to do the actual top 100. The worst end of the 200 has been released. Yes. Yeah. But still pretty good. Okay, yep.
Starting point is 00:20:55 If you're in the top 200 songs of the decade. Okay. That's pretty good. Let's kick it off with this came in at 192. It's Lizzo, Truth Hurts. Just sneaking in there. Yeah. At 192.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Well, it would have only been out for a couple of months at the end of the decade. Yeah, so it's done pretty well. Yeah, that's good. Huge song. I love seeing some Kiwis in the mix and there's quite a lot of them. This girl here got the number 186 and 185 spot. It's our Kiwi girl, Benny.
Starting point is 00:21:38 So Soaked was 186. Mm-hmm. And then Glitter came in at 185. Bit ripped off if you come out real late in the decade, eh? Because you didn't have enough time. Well, yeah, exactly. It doesn't have as much time to kind of... This song's been so big this year, it could go on to be a modern classic in time, you know?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Could. Yeah. You know, this might be controversial to some people. I think it definitely is worth a mention in the top 200 of the decade. Coming in at 182, it's Tones and I. They love this song, don't they? Who? Triple J.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I don't know. I'm not sure. Well, she was supposed to win the hottest 100 this year, wasn't she? Yeah, and then all the, you know, they all kind of get on their high horse and they're like, it's gone too big. Yeah, it was too commercial. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I don't know about.
Starting point is 00:22:32 I heard ZM in New Zealand is playing it. We can't play it. It was a pretty massive song and, I mean, you can't argue with the $5.2 million house she purchased off the back of the success. Coming in at $159, it's another Kiwi gal, Lorde. Excuse me, this is disrespectful. This is only 159. Yeah, that's what people voted.
Starting point is 00:22:59 I mean, I know it's not Royals, but... Well, I'm sure Royals will be in the top 100 when it comes out next week. Surely Royals will be in the top 10. I love that song so much. Do you remember this song, 157, The Wire? Heim. That's right. It's coming up in 157.
Starting point is 00:23:22 I had such a big crush on these girls. Well, I do. They were babes. Yeah, they're cool. They were absolute babes. We're getting down into the 30s now. 135 was this track from Macklemore. Again, this should be in the top 10.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Absolutely. For what, I think it was before its time, like before anyone else was really making such a big drastic kind of stand for equality. Yeah. You know, this song, in my eyes, I believe, was a massive driving force as to why the equality, marriage equality vote got passed in Australia.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Yeah, it was important. Because he sung that song at the NRL Grand Final just before the vote was made and I think that was a massive push for some people. Yeah, it was an important moment. Yeah, 126. I've got two more. Kanye West. Yeah, back when he was
Starting point is 00:24:21 fun crazy. Yeah, right. This is a great song, All of the Lights, yep. And we're going to finish it with 105. We actually had these boys in the studio a couple of weeks ago. It's Peaking Duck. This was massive. Straight away, producer Ellie's back at RMV.
Starting point is 00:24:45 She's standing on the hill. And I think, to be honest, Peaking Duck will have a lot more songs in the top 100 for this decade. Yeah, good. I'm excited to find out what number one is. It'll be Vance Joy. Bree and Clint. Look, it's been a question that's haunted me for a long, long time.
Starting point is 00:25:06 It was one of my favourite songs as a kid. Shania Twain, we still don't know what impresses her. Yeah, there's quite a long list of things that don't impress her. Rocket scientists. Yeah. You know, probably the most memorable one. Guys with a car. Guys who have a nice car.
Starting point is 00:25:25 That don't impress her much. And, of course, probably the most famous line from the song when she said this. Okay. So you're Brad Pitt. Even Brad Pitt doesn't impress her. I've thought long and hard about this, by the way. And this was back in 1997, can I say.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Brad Pitt was in his prime. You imagine you're just Brad Pitt minding your own business in 1997, going about your day, and then all of a sudden you hear on the radio that Shania Twain's not impressed by you. I mean, you know, at least he'd probably value that she's honest and that at least someone, just because he's Brad Pitt,
Starting point is 00:26:10 it doesn't impress her. True, it might have been refreshing. Yeah, maybe. He's like, hmm, finally a challenge. Forget all that. Forget about it because she's been asked in an interview recently, does Brad Pitt actually now impress her? Right, 23 years on.
Starting point is 00:26:28 A long, long time. Has he done enough to impress Shania Twain? She said, I'm very impressed by Brad's wonderful career. He's been getting some great accolades recently, so I'm very proud of Brad. I hope he takes the line I wrote with a sense of humour that was intended.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Right. So do we take from that that she is impressed? I think so. He's finally done enough. He's finally... Finally. To Brad and the whole Pitt family, congratulations. It's a proud day for you and your whanau.
Starting point is 00:27:06 What a moment. I thought to celebrate, obviously, you know, the end of this age-old question, what don't impress you much, we could do our own. Right. Because obviously, you know, rocket scientists, Brad Pitt, guys with a car didn't impress her very much. No. And everybody's different.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Good chance to get off your chest, didn't impress her very much. No. And everybody's different? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Good chance to get off your chest what don't impress you much. It's a good chance to just vent. Would you be willing to give us a demonstration? Yeah, yeah, I can give you a demonstration. Okay, and this is a musical demonstration too, right?
Starting point is 00:27:38 Yes, it is. Okay, great. All right. How will you think you're special? How will you think you're something else? Okay. When you do a fully sick burnout and speed off. That don't impress me much. I agree.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I never ever in my life be next to a guy or a couple of guys that speed off and going, oh, I'm so attracted to them. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know what you mean. And that's good to hear too because any kind of loud exhaust system, I've never thought that women go, man, that's my future husband. Oh, I need to find that guy. What's his number plate?
Starting point is 00:28:20 Yeah. Can I give this a go? Yeah, you give it a go. At what don't impress on me much? You give it a go. Okay, cool. Okay. So you've got a really dark fake tan in the middle of winter.
Starting point is 00:28:41 I know it's fake. It's dark outside. But aren't you impressed with the upkeep? No, you're just flexing on all the rest of us white people in winter. We can't keep it. They don't impress on me much. Not one bit. Anybody in the producer's booth want to let us know what don't impress on them much?
Starting point is 00:28:59 Oh, yeah, I can. You want to give it a go? Yeah, I might. Great. How will you think you're special? How will you think you're something else? Okay, so you don't use your indicator. That don't impress me much. So you got the...
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah, not cool. Not cool. Especially off a roundabout. Why aren't you indicating off a roundabout? Amen. People will have this bottled up for years and finally they've got the chance to express it. 0800 dial ZM right now. We want to know.
Starting point is 00:29:37 What don't impress you that much? We'll take those calls next on 0800 dial ZM. It's finally time where we get to have our own turn at saying what don't impress us so much. Why did I turn Italian? I don't know. I don't know. It should be Shania Twain in this moment.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Exactly. A Canadian country star? Yeah, Canadian. Canadian. Canadian. She's come out and finally said, obviously, that iconic line where she says, Brad Pitt, don't impress her much.
Starting point is 00:30:09 She said she's actually very impressed by Brad Pitt, and it was all just a bit of humour. Yeah. And she likes to write with humour sometimes. So Brad will be relieved after 23 years finally. Finally. What a weight off his shoulders. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Yeah. This afternoon we were revealing what don't impress us much. We never asked producer Ben. We never asked producer Ben what don't impress her much. You got something, mate? You got something on here? Yeah, I could throw something out there, mate. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Let's give it a go. Okay. There's currently not a lot of meat selection in the supermarket. A lot of things running low. Yeah. A lot of things running low, yeah. Also, something that don't impress me much, when you stockpile your toilet paper.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Yeah. That don't... Oh, you've got heaps of toilet paper. Oh, cool. Cool. No, Dad, awesome. You're one of those. One day it'll impress you.
Starting point is 00:31:14 Rach, hi, welcome to the show. G'day, how you going? Good, thanks. Rach, are you ready to tell us what don't impress you much? Oh, I am. All right, wait till she stops singing and then let it rip, Rach. How well you think you're special. How well you think you're something else.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Okay. So you're the royals. That don't impress me much. So you've got the looks but have the... The royal family don't impress you much, Rach. No. No, okay. They never have.
Starting point is 00:31:50 They just take over all the magazines. Now they've got their own, so take them out of all the other ones. I hate to say it. I'm with you, Rach. Yeah, that's keeping it real. Thank you, Rach. Grace is here. Hi, Grace.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Hi, Grace. Hi. Are you ready to give this a whirl? I'm so ready. All right, we're ready for here. Hi, Grace. Hi, Grace. Hi. Are you ready to give this a whirl? I'm so ready. All right, we're ready for it. Wait. Okay. Not being able to get through for the secret sound.
Starting point is 00:32:24 How gutting, Grace, that you've got through now, but it's not even secret sound time, right? It's time time, Grace. Yeah. But, hey, at least you know you can get through, right? At least you know your phone works. Grace, your mum didn't come to brunch with us on Saturday, did she? Yeah, she did.
Starting point is 00:32:38 I knew this was you. I was talking to your mum, Leanne, all day on Saturday. Oh, when we went to the urban polo. Yeah, your mum sent me the photo of you guys the other day. Your mum and I are very good friends. Grace, your mum does impress us much. Well, say hello to Leanne, okay? Krista.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Hi, welcome to the show. Hey, how's it going? Good, thank you, Krista. All right, it's your turn to tell us what don't impress you much. Here we go. How will you think you're special? How will you think you're something else? Okay. Hunting and fishing Facebook profile pictures.
Starting point is 00:33:17 That don't impress me much. So you got the looks. Shout out to our old boss, Dean. Anyone with a pig strapped to their back or some deer horns trampling through the forest, not your cup of tea, Krista? No, definitely not. Krista, you killed it this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:33:37 What about guys with a car as their profile picture? No. Oh, good. Oh, that was fun. That was a lot of fun. We might do this again sometime. It's cathartic. It's nice.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Get up your chest, right? Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. Oh, my God. What? No way. I can't believe that happened. Oh, my God, no.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Are you f***ing kidding me? Bree and Clint's Cliffhanger. Yes, this is the segment where we ask you guys to call us up, tell us three quarters of a great story, and then leave the last bit up to chance. Yeah. What you will then hear is you listening, you'll hear the correct ending,
Starting point is 00:34:21 mixed in with an ending written by Bree and an ending written by me. But out of the correct ending, mixed in with an ending written by Bree and an ending written by me. But out of the three endings, it's your job listening to pick the real ending of the story. The person who's going to share their story with us is Steph. Hi, Steph. Hi, Steph. Hi, guys. Now, we want three quarters of the story and then stop, okay?
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yep. Okay. Take us through it. All right. About three or four years ago, almost to the day, it was my birthday, and I was hanging out with some girls, three or four bottles of wine deep. We ordered some McDonald's through my sister. She comes to drop it off.
Starting point is 00:34:58 I run down the driveway. I'm naked with my dressing gown flying in the wind. I got to the car. And then... And then... Alright, ending number one. The guy I was kind of seeing at the time was in the car. It was
Starting point is 00:35:17 meant to be a birthday surprise, but because I was so drunk, I threw up on him, and even worse, all over the McDonald's. Is ending number two? I pressed my breasts up to the passenger window. My sister started winding it down and my tic-tacs got stuck in between the seal and the glass.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Or is it ending number three? I went outside to meet my sister and a fully grown cow was standing in our front yard. Obviously I'd had a few wines so I convinced my sister that I wanted to try and milk it. So we did. Happy birthday to me. These are outrageous.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Three excellent endings. This story is great no matter which one of those is true. Which is the real one though? The person who is going to try and decode this cliffhanger is Christy. Oh, Kirstie. Hi Kirstie. Hey guys, how are you? Good,anger is Kirstie. Hi, Kirstie. Hi, Kirstie.
Starting point is 00:36:06 Hey, guys. How are you? Good. Thank you, Kirstie. I feel like you've got a pretty tough job this afternoon. Yeah, well, I've had a few wines before, and I could imagine milking a cow, but I'm going to go with A. You think the ending is A.
Starting point is 00:36:20 A was the guy I was kind of seeing at the time was in the car. It was meant to be a birthday surprise, but because I was so drunk, I threw up on him and even worse, all over the McDonald's. I'm sorry if that's a true one because I'd hate for that to happen to me, but yeah, I'm going to go with A. All right, Kirsty is locking in A for the correct ending. Steph, what's the correct cliffhanger? It's Tic Tacs for the win.
Starting point is 00:36:45 So technically, Steph, were they pierced after that, or...? It wasn't a nice birthday. You got your nipples stuck in a glass car window. I did, in between the rubber seal and the glass. Oh, man. If it was cold enough, they could have cut the glass. What? Oh, man. If it was cold enough, they could have cut the glass anyway. Steph, because no one could pick it,
Starting point is 00:37:10 you got yourself some free mobile fuel. Congratulations. Thank you. No worries. That's cliffhanger. That's how we play. You tell us part of the story and if no one can guess it,
Starting point is 00:37:18 then you take home the prize. That's pretty much it. Bree and Clint, back in a second. ZM. Bree and Clint. I saw big news in Rotorua over the weekend. Big news in Rotorua?
Starting point is 00:37:27 Yeah, and I know you're obviously from there. It's your hometown. Yeah, that's where I'm from. How did I miss big news from Rotorua? Yeah, well, this is the only story about Rotorua on the Herald at the moment. So I figure that must mean it's the biggest news story out of Rotorua. Well, it's on a nationwide newspaper. It must mean it's nationwide news. What out of Rotorua. Well, it's on a nationwide newspaper. It must mean it's nationwide news.
Starting point is 00:37:45 What's the news? Lay it on me. The latest news out of Rotorua is that Rotorua Lakes welcomes new toilet block. Oh. Okay. Yep. And I thought, you know, I'm going to read on because I want to see,
Starting point is 00:37:59 you know, is there some sort of scandal with this toilet block? Or is it named after someone famous? Is it named after someone? Is it the Sir Howard Morrison Memorial Toilet Block? Exactly. No, it's just a new toilet block. Right. Well, like the book says, Brie, everybody poops.
Starting point is 00:38:19 But exactly. So it's important news. I don't know why it made the Herald. I don't know why it's a big headline, but, yeah, apparently there's some sort of research where they're making it safer and nicer for the residents. Don't try and sell me on this toilet block news, okay? I thought, you know, in times like this when there's big news
Starting point is 00:38:35 or any news out of Rotorua, we have that one person that we call. Her name is Liz. She works at a bar in Rotorua. She's a great time. She is a great New Zealander, yeah. And I just wanted to see how big a news this actually was in Rotorua because if Liz doesn't know about it, then I don't... It's fake news.
Starting point is 00:38:54 It's fake news. So we're going to call her up and play something with her. We like to call surprise game show. Welcome to the Rotorua Commercial Travellers Club. For the bar, press 1. I think she is. She's at the bar. Surprise game show.
Starting point is 00:39:09 Rotorua CT Club. Peter speaking. Hi there. I was wondering if Liz was about, please. Liz, no, she's not in today. Oh, bugger. Who's speaking? It's one of her good mates, Bree from the Bree and Clint show.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Clint's also here. Yeah, hi. What was your name, young sir? Peter. Peter, you'll do, because guess what? You're on Surprise Game Show. Peter, are you ready to play? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:39:40 All right, Peter, it's one question and one question only this afternoon. Rotorua recently opened something brand new and it made national headlines. What was opened in Rotorua? It made national headlines? Oh, Jesus. I don't know what was opened and made headlines in Rotorua. I have no idea, sorry. You're going to have to ask someone else.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Can we give him multi-choice? We can give him multi-choice. Oh, can you? Yes, yep. Just this one time only, because it is your first time playing Surprise Game Show. Peter, is it one, a new car wash? Is it two, a burlesque club?
Starting point is 00:40:28 Or is it three, a new toilet block? Oh, Jesus. They're still hard ones. I think it was a car wash. Would you like to guess again, Peter? 50-50. It was a toilet block. You got it.
Starting point is 00:40:41 You've got it. Nice work, Pete. We did put you on the spot, but it is called Surprise Game Show. Oh, you guys are amazing. Anybody you'd like to thank? I'd like to thank Kathleen from the CT Club. She's an amazing lady. Good.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Anyone else? Yeah. What about Liz? It was her who got you into the show in the first place. Was it Liz? Yeah. Liz. She would never have done that to me.
Starting point is 00:41:05 All right. All right, last thing, Pete. Clint, tell him what he's won. Absolutely nothing. Thank you, guys. Thanks for playing, Peter. Love Runa Rua. How good are they there?
Starting point is 00:41:19 Must visit the toilet block sometime. Bree and Clint. Because I want to talk about something that I saw on the very popular TV show that Clint loves, Married at First Sight. I hate that show. I'm too upper class to watch it. I'm too sophisticated. Don't lie. You get hooked into.
Starting point is 00:41:34 God, I've been sucked into it. I'm a big Married at First Sight. Every time. Every time. And this is what happens. I avoid the first nine episodes and then I give in and I watch it and I've got no idea what's going on and I wish I'd just watched it from the start. Right. You always do that to yourself. And then I give it and I watch it and I've got no idea what's going on and I wish I'd just watched it from the start. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:46 You always do that to yourself. But let me fill you in on something that I've been watching that I wanted to get everyone's take on because I feel a certain way, but I don't know if everyone will feel the same way. So there's a new couple that have entered the show in the last couple of episodes. Their names are Casey and Drew. Yeah. So this is the new couple.
Starting point is 00:42:06 They're very hot, this couple. Very good-looking couple. She's a dancer, Casey's a dancer, and he is a singer, a wedding singer, actually, both very attractive. Right. Anyway, she finds out something straight away at the wedding that she, it gives her a bit of a red flag. On the wedding day, he did tell me that he lives with a girl.
Starting point is 00:42:29 I have a housemate. Oh, cool. Okay. I have a housemate called Jessie. A girl? Yeah. Does Jessie have a boyfriend or like? She doesn't.
Starting point is 00:42:36 No, she doesn't have a boyfriend. He hesitated when he answered that, didn't he? It's like he was going to lie. Like he was going to say, she does. And then he's like, no, I can't lie. You know what? He's allowed to have friends that are girls. I'm not, you know, that's all fine.
Starting point is 00:42:51 That's all good. Plus he has to have a housemate. He's a wedding singer. Yeah, right. No disrespect to our wedding singer listeners. But right. I love wedding singers. He's got to pay the bills somehow.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Anyway, they end up going on their honeymoon and essentially he's unpacking his stuff and he pulls out this little stuffed toy and she asks him, what is that? What is that? That's Rick. Drew. Brought a little toy.
Starting point is 00:43:20 It's a bit weird. Who gave it? My housemate gave it to me. I don't know if that's cute or not. Yeah, she sprayed her perfume all over it so I don't forget her smell. I was a joke. But then I was like, well, why are you bringing a teddy on your honeymoon from another girl? You know, that's kind of some red flags for me. That's uncomfortable. It is. Look, I'm going to put it out there.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I think it's a bit strange. Yeah. Why is it strange? You need to tell me why you think it's strange that he bought a toy that his female housemate gave him on his honeymoon. Actually, no, you don't need to tell me why it's strange. I just heard myself. You've just said it.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Especially because he signed up to a show where he wants to find love. I just think, oh, I don't know why you'd be doing that. I think it's strange that a man brings a stuffed toy on honeymoon. Regardless. Regardless. Yeah. No offence to our male stuffed toy having listeners, but the fact that it was a gift from a girl in your life
Starting point is 00:44:26 that your new wife has already told you that she's weird about, like she's already voiced the fact that she finds it strange and then you bought a stuffed toy Memento on your honeymoon, it's a bit... Look, I think the question is, you know, obviously she's never met her before, so she doesn't really know the situation. She doesn't know their relationship.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Yeah. So she's going to automatically feel a little bit threatened. She clearly sees this person who she's never met before as a threat to their relationship, right? Yeah. It's this girl in the background who he has some kind of connection with that she doesn't understand. He's friends with her.
Starting point is 00:45:06 He lives with her. Yeah, and it sounds like they're quite close. They watch shows together. They go for coffee. They do all this stuff. And if it's only them two that live together, God, how do you know what they get up to, right? Right?
Starting point is 00:45:16 That's where your mind goes. Would it make you feel uncomfortable? If my husband bought a Rick and Morty stuffed toy on our honeymoon? Yep. I feel like, yeah. I know what you're saying. Do you know what I mean? Would that make you feel uncomfortable?
Starting point is 00:45:28 If my new partner. A brand new relationship. Yeah. Had mementos from another guy that she felt necessary to have around all the time. I want to say no. I want to say, nah, I'm secure enough for myself. But my gut says, yeah, it's a bit odd. It's a bit odd.
Starting point is 00:45:44 It's just weird to bring that into your new. Just leave it at enough for myself. But my gut says, yeah, it's a bit odd. It's a bit odd. It's just weird to bring that into your new... Just leave it at home for now. Bring that energy into your new thing. Leave it at home for now. Leave it at home. Introduce the toy later in the series when you do the home visit. And how good are those home visits going to be? And the housemate, right?
Starting point is 00:45:58 How good is it going to be when she finally meets that housemate? Yeah, well, that's the thing. And this is, I mean, look how hooked you are. I want to ask the question. this is what we were talking about, you know, because obviously this is a situation where she feels threatened by not only a friend, it's his housemate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:14 But, you know, it might be nothing or there might be reason for it. It's a very real situation, whether you watch Married at First Sight or not. This happens a lot. It happens a lot. Yeah. So we want to ask, did the friend that you thought was a threat
Starting point is 00:46:28 turn out to be a threat or not to your relationship? Everybody told you you were paranoid. What was your gut saying? That you were being jealous and that you were being overly suspicious about this person. You're overreacting. Who was in the background, not even in your relationship. Might have been a best friend of theirs,
Starting point is 00:46:45 might have been, you know, just a casual friend. But it might have turned out that your gut was right all along. We'd like to know on 0800-DAL-ZM this afternoon. Or you text us on 9696. We've asked you the question this afternoon. Did the friend you thought was a threat turn out to be a threat or actually not? We're talking to your relationship.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Yeah. You know there's times in relationships where you obviously, you know, you're dating someone and they've got close friends and that's all good. But sometimes you get a gut feeling where you're like, hmm, something's a bit off here. Some people go as far as to say, hey, I don't want you hanging out with so-and-so anymore. And it can put real stress on a relationship.
Starting point is 00:47:26 But we're talking about the times, I think what we're going to get are times where you were right. I think so too. You were right all along. We've asked you guys to call through with your stories and Joanna is here first. Hi, Joanna. Hi, Joanna. Hi, how are you guys?
Starting point is 00:47:39 Good, thank you. Did you have a gut feeling about someone? I sure did. So I was dating this guy for about a year and he had this girlfriend who I had some reservations about and it turned out they ended up sleeping together in his car having adult fun time. Indoor gardening in the car. That's unusual. We haven't heard that one before. Sounds like Joanna might be doing that right now, by the way. Yeah, what are you doing? I was just parking.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Joanna, are you in the process of stealing his car right now? I was going to say, that's what he said to you when he was indoor gardening with that other girl. No. Yeah, so I kicked him out the same night. Yeah, well done. Did you get any satisfaction out of saying I told you so? Kind of.
Starting point is 00:48:28 They turned out to be planning a trip to Wellington and everything together. God. Yeah. That sucks so much. But I guess it just goes to show
Starting point is 00:48:36 you've got to trust your gut sometimes, don't you? God, this is going to be really triggering for people listening right now who have that feeling and people have convinced them not to believe it. You know? You know what's crazy is that there's a few people that have texted
Starting point is 00:48:49 through and they were like hey i don't want to go on air but this is happening to me right now and everyone says i'm crazy everyone says i'm crazy but in my gut i know that this person is a threat woman's intuition perhaps hi jen hi jen hi Jen. Hi guys. How are you? Good. How are you? You know, reliving the moment. So my thing happened when I was about 20. I'd been dating this guy from another town for about 18 months
Starting point is 00:49:15 and then I went on this exchange tour and when I went on this exchange tour overseas, I went with another girl from his hometown and when we got back, I introduced him to her because he met me at the airport with, you know, I met them. And anyway,
Starting point is 00:49:32 then sort of like, you know, because every weekend we'd see each other because he lived a little, you know, two hours away. Yeah. And then I just, he'd say like, oh, you never guess who I ran into, and da-da-da-da-da. And I'm like, oh yeah, okay, okay, this sounds... And then he was asking, oh, you're going who I ran into and da-da-da-da-da. And I'm like, oh, yeah, okay, okay, this sounds. And then he was asking, oh, you're going to vote it to your 21st?
Starting point is 00:49:48 And I went, well, yeah, because they were a big part of my life, you know, a little while ago. He's like, well, I'm definitely coming then. And it turns out. Oh, gosh, yes. And I'm imagining this doesn't have a happy ending. I'm imagining you found out they were doing it in the town over from you behind your back.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Oh, no, no, no. But there was one photo of my 21st. It was a group photo with me cutting my cake. And here he was next to me but looking at her in the photo. And then I found out that, yes, they got together on the way home. They arranged to hook up on the way home to their hometown. Jen, and you're the one who introduced them. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Doesn't that suck? A few people have texted through. Thanks, Jen, by the way. Thank you. Someone said that she had a gut feeling about the nanny, and now the nanny is with her ex-husband. See, that's the sort of stress that people with a nanny don't need. That's the sort of story you just hope is just a story.
Starting point is 00:50:48 It only happens in the movies. Your gut's always right, though. Someone else said, my best friend at the time was hooking up with my boyfriend behind my back. They got together after I broke up with him. Yep. Oh, this is, yeah, so. This is the last one we're going to take.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yeah, last one we're going to take. Heidi, hi. Hi, Heidi. Hi, how are you? Good, thank you. You texted through and I said, oh, I need to get this story on the air. Tell us what happened to you. Who did you have a gut feeling about?
Starting point is 00:51:13 Well, my flatmate and I, we both had a gut feeling about our other flatmate. Okay. That she was, we thought she was into the guy I was dating at the time. This was 20 years ago now. Because she just went completely psycho when I started dating him. And I ended up confronting her. I thought that she liked him. And I thought that she was trying to get with him and break us up. And so I just confronted her and I said,
Starting point is 00:51:40 Hey, if you're interested, you knew him first and I will back off. And she denied it. She said, no, I'm absolutely not interested. But the behavior kept escalating to the point where she had to move out of the flat because it actually got dangerous. She started confronting us in the shower. She would come in and she would... That's full on.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Yeah, it was full on. She kind of grabbed me in the shower and started screaming at me that I shouldn't be with this guy. And I kept saying, but do you want to be with him? And she said to me, no, I don't. And it wasn't until years later when we kind of fixed that friendship that she said that she actually wanted to be with me. Oh, whoa. What a twist. Whoa. Wow.
Starting point is 00:52:24 We had read all the signs right. We had just put it on the wrong person. And technically she wasn't lying. You're like, do you want to be with him? And she's like, no, I don't want to be with him. Him. Him. Someone else.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Wow. Heidi, I feel like you're a shoo-in for the next Married at First Sight. Actually, me and that guy, we have just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. Oh, that's so lovely. Congrats. Did she come to the wedding? No. And have you got a lock on the shower door yet?
Starting point is 00:52:58 Far out. Yeah. Thanks, Heidi. Really appreciate your story. What a story. What a twist. Bree and Clint. It's my birthday. Really appreciate your story. What a story. What a twist. Brie and Clint. Hey.
Starting point is 00:53:06 It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Brie and Clint's Birthday Banger. Right now, Birthday Banger for your Monday. This is where we take your guys' birthdays, we figure out what was the number one track on your 16th birthdays, and we play one of them in full. Sade, hi.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Hi, Sade. Hey, Clint. Hi, Brie. How are you? Good. How are you? Good, thank you. That's good. Hey, Clint. Hi, Brie. How are you? Good. How are you? Good, thank you. That's good.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Let's do your birthday banger. What's your birthday? 18th of October, 1985. All right. You were 16 in 2001 on the 18th of October. And Sade, this is your birthday banger. No, it's not. No, no, hold on.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Hold. Cool, cool your jets. It was good because I was disappointed with that one. No, this is your birthday banger. Somewhere. Where you walk, where you walk. Somewhere. Pretty close in time, those two songs.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Yeah, how about J-Lo? Is that more impressive for you? Yes, I used to dance around with my girlfriend that all the time. Yeah, this was a great track from J-Lo. That's a jam. Yeah, cool. I feel like this was one of her first big hits. Possibly.
Starting point is 00:54:15 I think it was. It's got Ja Rule on it. That's how old it is. Okay, who are we going to do next? Let's do Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi.
Starting point is 00:54:24 I heard it's your birthday tomorrow. It is. What are you doing? Anything special? I'm going out to dinner with my ex-husband. Oh, sounds interesting, Melissa. We're big friends.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Oh, well, that's lovely. That'll be nice. Let's do your birthday banger for you. What's your birthday? The 17th of March, 1984. All right. You were 16 in the year 2000 on the 17th of March. And on that day, this topped the charts. I can't believe it.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Who would have guessed? Who would have guessed? I feel like we just heard it. Computer difficulties. It's a good birthday banger, Melissa. Congratulations. Okay. Destiny's Child's first big hit.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Yeah, cool. Now, I'm not sure the computer has generated the third birthday banger because I can't see it down there just yet. But, oh, no, it's just shown up. All right, Josh, that's your birthday banger. I can't see it down there just yet. But, oh no, it's just shown up. Alright, Josh, that's your birthday banger. How are you? Cheers, how are you being? 17th September
Starting point is 00:55:32 1997. There we go. You were 16 in 2012 on the 17th of September and on that day in 2012, this was number one. Titanium. With Andrew Puppus. Megan Puppus' husband and his original boy band.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Put together by a radio station that I used to work at, actually, Titanium. Yeah, George FM, didn't they? No, different radio station again. No? No, if I know George FM, they love this kind of music. This is what they're into, yeah. Yeah, they love it. Right, you would know.
Starting point is 00:56:09 So that is, I've got to admit, that is an absolute jam, and I stake my life on how good a pop song that is. What do you think, Josh? What do you think, Josh? Do you remember it? Well, I died pretty quick after it, didn't I? Yeah, it was a strong one-hit wonder. That's not the point here, but yep.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Okay. Josh, I love it, didn't it? Yeah, it was a strong one-hit wonder. That's not the point here, but yep. Okay. I love it, Josh. Wait there, Josh. We've got a decision to make. J-Lo, Destiny's Child, or Titanium, come on home. Look, you know, obviously I only moved here a couple of years ago, but I am all about patriotism, and if you say it was massive, I'm happy to play that.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Because, yeah, it'll make people happy. We did play it once for Birthday Banger. It was a while ago. Didn't quite get the reaction I'd hoped for when we played it. I was like, people are going to love this. And then I realised that people who listen to ZM probably hadn't heard it before because it had never been played on ZM before. Oh, because it was made over at George.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Yeah, at George. Yeah, that's right, it was made at George. I think The Destiny's Child is the right choice today. You reckon? Oh, wait, so you're backtracking. My gut is telling me Destiny's Child. Well, see, my gut's telling me J-Lo. Oh, okay. If I'm not going with you on the titanium,
Starting point is 00:57:18 I'm thinking J-Lo. Does that mean we're going to the producers? We're going to a split decision. That means producer Ben is going to make the call on the window for birthday bang today. Ben, what's it going to be? I'm feeling J-Lo. Yeah, I've been on real. I'm feeling a bit of J-Lo today, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Bit of Ja Rule. We're on. We're on. Yeah, we're on. We're on. What's my game? Are you Ellie? Miss Mary Jane, I'm having lots in the game.
Starting point is 00:57:44 And the game done chose me To bring pain to pretty women And fake thugs wanting to save Ever since you told me It's only moon for two I've been making less room for you Now only God can hold me Hug me, love me, judge me
Starting point is 00:57:58 The only man that hovers above me I've met so many men And it's like they're all the same. My appetite for loving is now my hunger pain. And when I'm feeling sexy, who's gonna comfort me? My only problem is their insecurity. You're tired of being alone. Yeah, yeah. You're arguing on the phone. Yeah, yeah. Their insecurities The way you stare, the way you look, the style you wear
Starting point is 00:58:45 The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild And I can't go on without you I've been thinking about this relationship and I wanna know Is it as good as it gets? Cause we've been through the worst time and the best time But it was our time even if it was our time As good as it gets. Hopping is right in the veins Here blowing in the wind Sun glistening on my skin Hey, I'm nasty You know me But you still be feeling it baby
Starting point is 00:59:29 The way you walk The way you move The way you smile The way you stare The way you look The style you wear The way you smile The way you smell, the way you smell, it drives me wild.
Starting point is 00:59:47 And I can't go on without you. Now people loving me and hating me, treating me ungratefully. But not knowing that they ain't making or breaking me. My life, I live it to the limit and I love it. Now I can breathe again, baby, now I can breathe again. Now people screaming what to do with you and so and so i tell them my name is but they don't hear me though cause i live my life to the limit and i love it now i can breathe again baby now i can breathe
Starting point is 01:00:15 again Yeah, yeah. Why you telling all your friends? Yeah, yeah. They don't understand. My love. The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk. The way you stare, the way you look, the style you wear. The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild. And I can't go on without you. I'm the way, the way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk. I'm the way, the way you stare, the way you look, the style you wear.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I'm the way, the way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me. I'm there. And I can't go on without you. Ah, CDM, Brianne Clint. Got there in the end. That's the winner of Birthday Banger from J-Lo. Can I just give some insight? And I know we're not meant to talk about this stuff
Starting point is 01:01:20 and radio's meant to be smoke and mirrors, but behind the scenes, that break just then where we did Birthday Banger was an absolute disaster. Clint is like pretty much like trying to do sign language with the producers. They're yelling at each other. I'm trying to just pad for time and talk about anything.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Imagine you're trying to yell at somebody through a sound glass window without using your voice. And you can't use your voice. I'm trying to Signal to Producer Ben I don't have the Third birthday banger song And he's getting mad at me
Starting point is 01:01:50 To the point that He just folds his arm And goes Well I don't know What he's talking about This is what you look like When you're doing it Ellie do we have it on video
Starting point is 01:01:59 I'd love us to Sit like after an All Blacks game Do a side by side With the impression I just did I reckon I nailed that We should review A play by play In the meantime Bree just did. I reckon I nailed that. We should review
Starting point is 01:02:05 a play by play. In the meantime, Bree's like the duck on water where it's all calm on the surface just trying to keep swimming and then she's talking to Melissa and she's like, you doing anything fun
Starting point is 01:02:13 for your birthday? And then Melissa goes, oh, I'm hanging out with my ex-husband and I thought it was going to go badly and I was like, oh, this is interesting
Starting point is 01:02:20 and then Melissa thankfully goes, we're really good friends and I was like, oh, thank God. And afterwards, Bree goes, did you hear what Melissa. And I was like, oh, thank God. And afterwards, Brie goes, did you hear what Melissa said? And I said, no, I'm busy shouting at Ben with my hands. Yeah, you look like it's someone from my family. What are you doing, Ben?
Starting point is 01:02:35 And then to add insult to injury, the song that I think should have won birthday banger, Titanium Come On Home. I had to vote against it because we don't even have it. This is all we've got. We've only got 30 seconds of it. Because they made it
Starting point is 01:02:52 across the road at the end. George FM. Whatever it's called. Anyway, if any of the members of Titanium are listening, I think you should have won. Andrew Puppers,
Starting point is 01:03:04 we love you. Bree and Clint. The only conversation going on really at the moment is about coronavirus, COVID-19, whatever you want to call it, and how we can keep ourselves safe from germs. It's also things that are being cancelled, people who are being put into quarantine. One organisation who threw caution to the wind over the weekend
Starting point is 01:03:27 and said, let's just see how it goes, was the NRL. Yeah, all the games went ahead. All the games went ahead. All the crowds were there at the stadiums. I saw on one game the Melbourne Storm playing the Manly Sea Eagles. They were doing something really interesting to stop the spread of COVID-19. What were they doing? So both teams are playing.
Starting point is 01:03:50 None of them are wearing face masks. None of them are wearing gloves or anything like that. They're just playing regular footy. Full crowd. The whole crowd was in there. But every time the ball got kicked into the crowd, it would be tossed back to a ball boy who would pick it up with latex gloves on. He would take the ball got kicked into the crowd, it would be tossed back to a ball boy
Starting point is 01:04:05 who would pick it up with latex gloves on. He would take the ball to a chilli bin full of disinfectant and he would roll the ball around in disinfectant to clean the crowd off the ball before they gave the ball back to the players. So were all the players doing this? No, not all the players doing this? The, what do you mean? No, not all the players were washing their balls.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Only the ball boys were washing the game. Oh, careful. The match balls. Okay, listen to this. Up there, they'd scrub the balls. The ball boys were wearing gloves. That's probably not a bad idea, man. I'm not quite sure about how dangerous and contagious it is. I do know from a medical, like a health point of view.
Starting point is 01:04:48 From a health point of view what, commentator guy? See, I don't know how contagious this thing is. But from a footy perspective, it's pretty nice to have clean balls. Maybe we should wash the balls more often. Don't you think, Roy? The balls look quite nice and shiny out there. You know, I've been in the sport for coming up 48 years, from when I started with the Balmain Tigers right through to now,
Starting point is 01:05:13 and I can honestly say I haven't washed my balls once. Yeah, and you know what? Sometimes I thought to myself when I was playing, I'd love a washed ball. I would love it. I think it'd be, you know, make it go more streamlined. You know, it's a lovely touch too is when they towel the ball down. I do love a toweled ball.
Starting point is 01:05:30 It's quite good. Because washing them is one thing, but drying them. It's just good around the old casing of the ball, isn't it? Just dries it up nicely. If you want to avoid spreading COVID-19, don't have a stadium full of people. It's not dunking the ball in a chili bin full of handy-andy before it goes back on the field that's going to stop it.
Starting point is 01:05:53 Yeah, because how do we know if everyone in the crowd has washed their balls too? Obviously, people are preparing in their own way for whatever eventuality may come out of COVID and the advice is to not be crazy with it, but just make sure you're prepared. Just make sure you have the essentials that you may need if you can't leave the house for up to 14 days.
Starting point is 01:06:16 That's the advice. Yeah, which is the self-isolation period. Interesting stats coming out about what Kiwis are choosing to stockpile. Obviously, we've seen the toilet paper situation. Poo-ocalypse, we're calling it. We've seen a lot of places around the country with tinned goods, like shelves going quite bare of tinned goods. Again, nothing crazy.
Starting point is 01:06:38 There's plenty of stock. Supermarkets are saying, we've got plenty of stuff. Please still buy as you need. Producer Ben said he went to the supermarket today and there was no meat. Is that right? There was no meat where you were? Where you were low on meat?
Starting point is 01:06:48 Is that what it was? Yeah, there was some, but it's just very little. And also medication. You did go to the vegan supermarket, though? I did not. Why would I do that? He would never do such a thing. Interestingly, another industry has come out and said,
Starting point is 01:07:04 hey, we are being pillaged at the moment as well. Apparently Kiwis are stockpiling ahead of possible isolation Six toys What? Yeah A spokesperson for
Starting point is 01:07:20 New Zealand adult entertainment I guess you would say, retailer, do they get a plug? Yeah, okay, the adult toy megastore, which I imagine is like a Bunnings warehouse for these types of things. Yeah, it's like... It's just like floor-to-ceiling shelving of all of them.
Starting point is 01:07:36 It's like the warehouse version for that type of stuff. Yeah, if you find a lower priced... Item. Yeah. We'll beat it by 15%. Whoosh. Who's is that? There's a sound effect.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Where did you get that? I recorded it at Ben's house. So this is what their spokesperson is saying. I don't understand that though. There's been a surge in sales of, we're all adults here, lubricant, things that vibrate, and batteries. Batteries, I understand, because, you know.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Yeah, but they're not your first place you'd go for batteries. No, but. Like if the TV remote needs double A's, you don't log on to the adult toy megastore. They might have them for cheap. You never know. Or longer lasting batteries. Yeah, or dishwasher safe batteries. You never know actually.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Which are all good batteries to have. They said, we're hearing from our customers and they're stockpiling batteries, lube and things just in case they're stuck inside due to self-isolation. Why do you need to stockpile those? Are they one use? You're right. Are they one use only?
Starting point is 01:08:48 I thought you just... The device itself. Maybe you usually get that sort of activity from someone else, but if you have to isolate from everybody else, you're looking at the artificial version. Or maybe this is just a good excuse for people who want a bunch of stuff. You've had it on your cart for ages. Yep.
Starting point is 01:09:11 And this is the push you really needed. I can use this as an excuse to get these 17 items. You've gone, hey, it could be the end of the world. It's now or never, baby. And if that is you, hey, we're not here to judge you. Whatever you think you need to get through. You do you. Literally.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Literally.
