Kia ora everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. What's going on? Producer Ben's just brought himself into the studio. You never attend these things. No, sometimes I do from the other studio. Yeah, we don't usually let you in this studio. What's up? I just had an idea. You got an idea? Well, I'm gonna do it. I just wanted your permission. Oh, you've always got our permission to do whatever you want on the show. Not for me. What is it first? So, I've decided we should do a birthday banger podcast every Sunday. Just the birthday bangers with the full songs in it. Can we do that?

Yes. I found out we can now. What, you can do a podcast with music in it? Yes. Really? Yeah. Because it only just has the songs in it. It doesn't have like constant music.

Right. What do you mean? As in like you just couldn't put up constant music up as a podcast Yeah But just because it has one song But you can put the whole song in the podcast Yes Really?

I found that out because Fletch, Vaughan and Megan do theirs Oh What do they do? They do Flashback Fridays Yeah, Mosh Mondays Mosh Mondays Oh, well if they're doing it, I want to do it

You want to do it? Well, I don't want, yeah. Or let's just workshop for a minute. Yeah. Because we have had quite a few people message us and say, can you just put the whole birthday banger in the podcast? That's another question. Because what if you don't like it?

I guess you can just skip it to be a podcast, right? Go to the next part. That is the beauty of a podcast. Okay, well, then I rescind my previous comment. I'm with Bree because that means I don't have to do an extra podcast. There it is. No, I'm excited about that. No, I am excited too.

How did you? Oh, well, you figured it out. I'm excited. I'm excited that you created more work for us to do. There's no work. I do all the work. You don't have to do any intro to it. Oh, then I'm on board.

You don't have to do any intro after. Do a birthday banging podcast every day if I don't have to do anything. No, that's not. Do it every day. I think just whack it into the normal podcast. Yeah, I'd be up for that. Okay. That's great news.

So you want to put the whole song on the normal podcast? Yeah. Rather than every week just a full podcast of just birthday bangers. Yeah. Why not? Yeah. And then the people listening to this podcast just get the benefit of every day. Just a little pep in their step.

Cool. Sweet. Good surprise, by the way. You just saved this one up get the benefit of every day just a little pep in their step cool sweet good surprise by the way you just saved this one up for the intro i'm into it i didn't save it up i just thought of it did you just yeah well i'm into it i mean it's good it's good advancement yeah yeah we will be one of only two podcasts in the whole world that are allowed to play music in there and once we get the podcast corporation of cal of California will probably send us a $3,000 fine but that's fine that's fine Bree's got a lot of disposable income

whatsoever true I did just book a trip to the Philippines off a week did you yeah me I've got a wife

two cats baby on the way true man I'm tied down. I'm going to be island hopping for my Easter holidays. Are you? Yeah. I'm pumped.

I might get robbed, but that's okay. Are you going alone? No, I'm going with a few people. Then you'll be fine. Who are you going with? A few people. Who are you going with? A couple of mates.

No one excited. Who are these mates? Yeah. Who are these mates? Yeah. Who are these mates? I'm from Australia. I have friends back home. Who are these mates that we've never heard of? And those are Australian mates coming with you.

Come on, shut up. Cool mates. Cool secret mates that you've got that you don't tell us about. This is a conversation for another day. I get to the Philippines and I just take random photos with people and pretend like I'm there with people. Okay, everybody. And on that note, here's the podcast.

With Birthday Banger included, right, Ben? Yeah. Excellent. Plane's still going. Wait, here comes another one. Are we on a flight path? That second plane sounded sick. I think it was leaking something.

Wait, here comes a Ferrari. No. Sounded like a plane as well. Let's go. Now let me see you dance. Z-Dams, Brie and Clint. Good afternoon, everybody. Before we do anything, can we get a round of applause, please?

Oh, my God. Can we get a big round of applause? The athleticism that has just been displayed outside of the studio. The timing, the finesse. Belle, who's been hosting Friday Jams for you all day today, is in the midst of taking a new Instagram photo just outside the studio. And we have the pleasure of watching this take place. It's front row.

This is like Instagram Live. This is what Instagram Live actually is. What a show it has been this afternoon. Let me paint you a couple of pictures. She has those inflatable metallic balloon things that spell out Belle. The first challenge was getting them in the right order. We went B-L-E.

That doesn't spell Belle. There was like a L-B-E as well. It was also the tussle of the wind and also the tussle of the bush that they've lent up against. It's been an absolute display of pure professionalism from Belle. Can I just, in two seconds before we went to air, they got the shot. The wind, everything came together. The wind, the pose, the pout, everything.

And Belle, well done. Another round of applause. In fact, plug the Instagram account. Can we get Belle's handle? Because when this photo goes up, it needs a super like, ladies and gentlemen. Let me just bring it up. Belle Crawford.

You can find Belle on Instagram. It's just at Belle Crawford. What a great handle as well. I'm probably going to even post that photo on my own Instagram. That's how good it is. We'll get it up to the Bree and Clint one. If she goes in for round two, we're live streaming it. People from the office are now coming out to see.

I mean, it was like a grand final for Instagram. Hey, today's going to be a great day. We have a mobile fill-up Friday to do. We've got free fuel to give away all show today. In fact, let's start the show with it. We've got a free mobile fuel voucher up for grabs right now. Let's do two. Well, calm down.

We've got to make a last one show. Nah, mobile, they're great. All right, let's do two. They'll hook us up. All right, maybe it won't last all show. Let's do two. But we've got some free fuel. Oh, $800 in him if you need some gas.

Plus, we've got a few Friday jams to kick the show off. Like this. You've met a miley, muddy siren. I don't know about you, but I'm in the mood for a new profile picture after all of that. How good. ZM.

ZM's Bree and Clint. The podcast. I just want to throw out an MVP of the show this afternoon. Oh, okay. MVP already. We're very early into the show, but I do need to give mention to producer Ben from Christchurch. Producer Ben from Christchurch.

Who has won the MVP this afternoon. Congratulations, Ben. He's happy. He got us Doritos and dip. Oh, okay. I was wondering what he was getting MVP for, but yeah, you deserve He's happy. He got us Doritos and dip. Oh, okay. I was wondering what he was getting MVP for, but yeah, you deserve it for that. Well done, Ben.

Yes. Which is relevant for what we're about to talk about. Yep. Chips. Oh, not men with moustaches. No. The Spinoff have done an article where they've ranked 122 chip flavours in New Zealand from best to worst.

That is someone's dream job. I mean. The research. Sign me up right there. Yeah. That is a lot of chip eating. Yeah. And what's the dip ratio as well?

Yeah. No dip. No dip. Strictly chip. Oh, I don't know if I want to eat 122 bags of dry chip. Just based on chip flavour. Yeah. Let's concentrate on the positives.

So we're going to do the top 10. Okay, top 10. The top 10 chip flavours in New Zealand. I want to give a few honourable mentions though. Okay, sure. Before we get to the top 10. Oh, so this is pre-top 10. This is pre-top 10.

Okay, honourable mentions. To Cheezles. Cheezles. Yeah, well done. Coming in at 35. Yeah, wonderful chip. Twisties. Twisties. Oh, a Kiwi classic. It's a great chip. It's a great chip. Coming in at 35. Yeah, wonderful chip. Twisties. Twisties.

Oh, a Kiwi classic. It's a great chip. Coming in at 26. Yeah. Kettle Chip Company Honey Soy Chicken. Kettle Chips, the originators of the kettle style of chip, I think. 24. Well done.

And honorable mention as well to Rations, who came in just outside the top 10 at 13. See, I like the going... I think that's controversial. I think it's controversial too. I love a ration. I love a ration. But it's not a traditional chip, is it?

No. Like, it's not a potato chip. It's still a chip, though, I would argue. It's still a chip. Yeah, okay. It's still a chip. Yeah, it's a very inclusive list. Here we go.

The top 10 chip flavours in New Zealand. Let's start at number 10. Number 10. Muncho Spicy Tomato. Yeah, love them. Coming in at number 9. Doritos. Put them on your tongue dry. They'll stick to your tongue. Oh, yeah, sorry. Doritos, number 10. Number 10. Muncho Spicy Tomato. Yeah, love them. Coming in at number 9. Doritos. Put them on your tongue dry.

They'll stick to your tongue. Oh, yeah, sorry. Doritos, number 9. Doritos Flame Grilled Barbecue Flavour. Yeah, gotcha. Coming in at number 8. Proper Crisp Cider Vinegar and Sea Salt. Fancy.

Proper Crisp Cider Vinegar. Fancy. Coming in at number 7. I believe this chip is no longer with us. Crisper Chicken. Oh. Apparently. Can you offer a posthumous chip credit?

Apparently, yes. Is there any point putting it in the top ten if it's no longer a chip? Yeah. I heard they stopped. They discontinued it. I would have thought that was an honourable mention, but okay. Still makes the top ten. Number six.

Number six. Copper Kettle Woodfire Barbecue. Yeah. Coming in at number five. This is where we really get into, you know. This is the business end of the top ten. Number six. Number six. Copper Kettle Woodfire Barbecue. Yep. Coming in at number five. This is where we really get into, you know. This is the business end of the chip countdown. This is the business end. Pringles Original.

Once you pop, you can't stop. Number five. Coming in at number four, a controversial pick. Mexicano Jalapeno. Never heard of it. It's like a corn chip, I think. Oh, the Mexicano brand. Jalapenos. Yeah. The Jalapenos. Ellie's loving that one. Yeah like a corn chip, I think. Oh, the Mexicano brand. Jalapenos.

Yeah. Producer Ellie's loving that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm on board with those. The Red Bag. Red Bag? Yeah, Red Bag. And now we're in to the top three chip flavours here in New Zealand.

These deserve a drum roll. Number three. Grain Waves Honey Mustard. Get in me, Grain Wave. The producers are loving it. Get inside me, Grain Waves. That's a healthy chip too because it's got grain in it. Controversial.

Not the biggest fan of the Grain Wave. You're not? Well, leave yourself out of the list then. That's fine. That's a great chip. They're too healthy, I reckon. I was kidding about them being healthy, BTW. Okay, number two.

Here we go. Number two. And I am on board this one. Burger Rings. Burger. Yes. Yes, the producers are loving it. For me, a Burger King, a Burger King, a Burger Ring or a ration in the number two spot, interchangeable.

I could have one or the other. Oh, controversial. I could have one or the other. Oh, controversial. I could have one or the other. Controversial, different flavours. Yeah, definitely different flavours. But Burger Rings, a very good choice. Okay, we've arrived at number one. This is of 122 chips as ranked by the spinoff.co.nz,

which we're on board with. Thank you guys for doing the research. We appreciate it. The top spot goes to Bluebird Original Salt and Vinegar. Yeah, no, they're not loving that.

Oh, we're not on board? Bluebird Original Salt and Vinegar. Yeah. To be honest with you, I just fired off the applause because we're at number one. That is a weird call. I think that's a disappointing choice. How have you gone through all those chip flavours

and you've ended up at... I mean, I love Bluebirds. They make great chips. But I mean, it's just a typical flavour, you know? It's just a standard. Standard. And I love a classic too. I'm not down for anything too fancy.

Like that honey soy stuff. I'd be devastated if I was Burger Rings. I'd say, you know, recount. Good for Bluebird salt and vinegar though. Yeah, I know, right? They're like, shit, we didn't even know we were in the competition. We didn't think we were anywhere near it. There's a lot of people, can I say, weighing in on the text machine about this.

And we want you to weigh in right now on 0800DIALZM. What is the best chip flavour? Yeah. It has to be here in New Zealand. I'm about this. In New Zealand. Yeah, no tomato flavour. Exactly.

9696. You can text us as well. Bree and Clint. The podcast. ZM. We're talking about the spin-off article that's rated 122 different chip flavours here in New Zealand. Controversial number one spot. Well, do you want to just rattle through the top three just quickly?

The top three were Grain Waves Honey Mustard coming in at number three, Burger Rings at number two, and Bluebird Originals Salt and Vinegar at number one. You and I are saying no. I like a salt and vinegar at number one? You and I are saying no. I like a salt and vinegar. I really do. Does it deserve to sit atop the chip pyramid? I don't really know.

Because so many brands have done salt and vinegar, it can't really stand out. It would have to be a very special salt and vinegar. And Bluebird make a great chip. Maybe they do. I don't know. But let's go to the people and find out this afternoon on 0800 Dial ZM. Starting

with Anton. What is the best chip flavour? Probably a fish and chip from Kailua. They do pretty good chips. A little bit of salt. Anton. Anton, I can't tell if you're like having a

laugh or if you've just misinterpreted it. Anton calls the show every now and then. Anton, are you having a laugh you're, like, having a laugh or if you've just misinterpreted it. He's having a laugh. Anton calls the show every now and then. Anton, are you having a laugh? No, all for real. Nah. I like his style. I like his style. Hi, Maddie. Hi.

What is your favourite potato chip flavour? Potato chip flavour? Yeah. Please tell us that's what you called for How old are you Maddie? Honey, soy and chip Yeah, there you go Maddie, I'm with you Honey, soy is a great flavour

Thank you Maddie Maddie was 10 Hi Bruce Hey Bruce, what's your favourite chip flavour? Salt and vinegar but kettles Oh Controversial Nah, but I could get? Salt and vinegar, but kettles. Oh. Controversial.

No, but I could get on board with that. I like kettles. I could see that at the top of the chip pyramid. Hi, James. Hi, James. Hey, guys. What are you putting in the number one spot for chip flavour? Look, no doubt about it, the Mexicano Thai sweet chilli.

Oh, do Mexicano do a Thai Sweet Chili? They do. It's the red bag, the purple little label thing. Yeah, I know the red bag. I didn't know there was a Thai Sweet Chili. Yeah, man. Can I? I've actually scoured that list as well,

and it's not even on the chip list. It's not in the top 122. James, as a Mexicano fan, have you tasted, which is coming at number four, the jalapeno flavour? Yeah, so the jalapeno is a good chip. Yeah. All the Mexicanos are pretty good, but the high-frees jelly is the next level.

Takes the cake. There's a couple of Mexicanos around that are hard to find, including a ready salted. They do a good ready salted, but it's hard to find. Get out with your ready salted. No, it's good. No, no, no. Because it gives more potency to the dip.

It just salts your vessel. And then if you want to concentrate on dip. If you're buying the flavour ready salted, get out. No, that's fine. That's not a flavour. No, it's fine. The Mexicano one is fine. No, ready salted is a good flavour.

No way that's a good flavour. Jason, finish us off, mate. What is the best chip flavour? Salt and vinegar, bad choice. I don't like them anymore. It was Kettle's Roast Lamb and Mint. Can you tell us a little bit more how you feel about the salt and vinegar flavour? I think they might have got the munchies through smoking something illicit.

Jason likes to eat a whole roast dinner when he eats a bag of chips. Right, Jason? Oh, yeah. Good to hear from you, mate. Our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy, is in Australia. How did that happen? How did we let our Hollywood correspondent leave Hollywood? He's a jet setter, mate.

He definitely is. And his boyfriend owns a jet. Oh, that'll be it. Okay, well, let's cross live to him next. Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz Dean, is it current boyfriend that owns the jet or was that ex-boyfriend? Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy. Spy.co.nz. Dean, is it current boyfriend that owns the jet or was that ex-boyfriend?

Well, that's an awkward question because that was the ex and then the current one is now an ex, so I'm in Australia for a couple of days. Oh, no. Are you on personal rehabilitation time? Well, shit, this-no. Bro-no. No. Are you on personal rehabilitation time? Well, shit, this is awkward. No, it's not. Are you okay? No.

Yeah. No, I'm fine. Are you kidding me? I'm totally fine. Really good timing, though. This little trip away was just what the doctor ordered, I think. Also, really good timing. No man.

Also, really good timing for Bree to plug your Instagram handle one more time. At Mr. Dean McCarthy. Do yourself a favour. Go there now. That's at Mr. Dean McCarthy. Let's do what you do best and get some of the latest Hollywood headlines, including Tom Cruise banning Nicole Kidman from their son's wedding. Yes. Now, look, this is quite an unusual story,

but it's certainly come up all over the world in headlines. Actually, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, remember they had the two adopted children, Connor and Isabella. Well, Connor and Isabella are both very devout Scientologists, whereas Nicole Kidman, of course, is completely removed from the religion altogether. What that means is Nicole is not allowed to go to Connor's wedding. In fact, she didn't also attend Isabella's wedding. She has very, very likely

distanced herself a lot from the two children who are, of course, still very close to Tom Cruise. Very interesting how that's played out. Nicole never speaks about it, ever. Ever, ever, ever. You won't hear the words come from her mouth, but that's what's happening. I'd love to go to a Scientology wedding. It would just be so fascinating to me just to watch. Because Scientology, I could be

ignorant on this, but I think what I know about it, say you're a Scientologist, Bri, and you're giving birth, you're not allowed to make any noise. I know. You're not allowed to make any noise during giving birth. Oh. I just probably end up hitting a lot of people. You're also not allowed to make any noise during the wedding either. Awkward. Hey, the second breaking Hollywood news is Hollywood News correspondent

Dean McCarthy has broken up with his current partner. Tell us more. Look, I don't want you to slide in the DMs or anything, but it's MrDeanMcCarthy, M-R-D-E-A-N. Don't want to plug it. Don't want to plug it. Don't want to push it. But if you're looking, it's at MrDeanMcCarthy on Instagram. If you happen to be planning a trip to Sydney,

is it Sydney this weekend, Dean? I'm in Sydney now. I'm in Sydney now, yes. But I'm only here for two days, and then I'm back in Hollywood on Monday. Oh, good. Good. No strings attached. Okay, that's Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent.

That is Spy brought to you by the new Snacks Crunches. Flavour with the right amount of crunch. How do we start talking about a single Dean McCarthy and then out of nowhere, Ellen appears? Your mate, Big Gay Ellen. Yeah, Big Gay Al, he can smell the single men. He knows. Bree and Clint, the podcast.

Wait, let's go to the second piece of audio evidence.

So we want everybody to feel confident they can bring ideas to the table. Producer Ellie rolls into the studio this afternoon in the planning meeting and she goes, goth, I have a ripping AirPod story for you. A ripping story. She said to us, AirPod's very topical, which ticks the radio box straight away. Only for rich people, though. Yeah, that's the thing.

It's an elite group. It is an elite group. And then she went as far to say, guys, I think this could be a phone topic too. And in radio world, that's where we put the question out to you guys and then you weigh in on the topic. So, Producer Ellie, now is your time. Let's begin with the story.

What happened? All right. I'm going to need you to head off some music there for me, Clint. I can head off some music for you. You've been in here for two seconds. I've got audio. This is good. It's high production values.

Thank you. So, it's a sad story today. Oh, no. Yeah. No. Yeah. No, I know how much you love your AirPods. So, I'm part of the elite AirPods group.

How do you know if someone has AirPods? They'll tell you. And I always go on about how much I love my AirPods. You guys know that. I'm not even allowed to touch them. Yeah, no, you're not. And this morning I realised why I can't have nice things. Because I've put them through the wash.

No, you didn't. Nah, I did. Definitely did. I'm laughing now No, I did. Definitely did. I'm laughing now, but I'm really crying inside. Do you reckon you could send them to Apple and say they just stopped working? Well, they're probably full of water. What do you think? I took my phone that I dropped in the toilet once and I was like,

just stop working. And they opened it up and there was just water all through it. Yeah, I think that's what they'll do too. What did you do? Were they in the case? Yes, they were in through it. Yeah, I think that's what they'll do too. What did you do? Were they in the case? Yes, they were in the case. Oh, you washed the whole case. Yeah, so in my denim short pockets.

But the thing was, I noticed after five minutes that they were missing. So I was like, oh my God, I've done that. And so I sprinted and I was literally pulling stuff out. There's water going everywhere because I just didn't care about anything else at that point. And I felt them and my heart just went. Ellie. Oh my God. I am actually so devastated for you.

Thank you. I thought you would be. Because they're not cheap. They're not cheap. And I got them as like a special treat for myself, you know. And, yeah, so I opened them up and the water fell out and I kind of like put them in my ears and they're sort of half still there. Some people aren't meant to.

No way. Yeah, they're half still there. So they're still half still there. You don't want half. Exactly. One's louder than meant to. No way. Like you said. Yeah, they're half still there. So they're still half still there. You don't want half. Exactly. One's louder than the other. It's just a nightmare. Some people aren't meant to have things like that.

You're right. Some people can't be trusted. Like me, I would never put my Samsung Galaxy Buds through the washing machine. That sync perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy S10. I just wouldn't do it. Yeah. It just wouldn't happen. Sorry, I blacked out there for a second.

So I did. So they're currently sitting in a drawer in rice with a dampened thing. So I'm trying everything. Oh, give us an update. Yeah. I'll give you an update. Okay, great story. Sad story.

You've really hit all the trigger points. Now you launch into the phone topic. Okay? I want stories of hope today. I want to know. Yes. I thought you were going to say, why can't you have nice things? Oh, $800.

That's a good one, but this is not your one. This is not yours, okay? Excuse me, radio professionals. Sit down for a minute and let Ellie have her moment. Ellie, what is the pre-prepared phone call topic you've got for us? I just want stories of hope. What expensive item did you submerge in water and it survived? I like it.

I want to know if it's possible. If it's going to be okay. When did you really F up, but it was alright. What's the phone number? 0800 dial ZM. And how can they text us? You can text us on 9696. Here we go, everybody. Let's do it. Let's see how it goes.

Please ring, please ring. Ellie's big topic. The phones are lighting up. Brie and Clint, the podcast. Producer Ellie's still in the studio with us. Hi, Ellie lighting up. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Producer Ellie's still in the studio with us. Hi, Ellie. Hello. Where'd you put your ear pods?

Yeah, in the washing machine. Yeah, well done. Through the wash, they were sitting in your pocket. I'm honest. This is being so honest. I know how much you love them, and they were a treat you bought for yourself. I'm actually so devo for you.

Thanks, Bree. We've gone out with Ellie's big radio topic. And it's gone gangbusters, by the way. It's done very well so far. You asked the question. I asked the question, what expensive item did you submerge and it survived? God, that's really wordy, isn't it?

There's some real good text messages that have come through because we did talk about how anyone who owns AirPods are rich and someone has said, I put my regular Apple headphones through the wash multiple times and they still work. Take that, you rich person. Hi, Cameron. Have you called through with a story of hope for Ellie? Yeah, I have. What happened, Cameron?

I had my Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. It's got a giant crack through the screen and I've swam with it multiple times and it's still working. Quality phone, that. What do you mean you swam? What do you mean you swam? Well, I went swimming with the pool in a pool and I had it in my pocket. See, I didn't think it would,

because they waterproof those phones, but I didn't think it would be waterproof if you had a crack in the screen. Yeah, I don't think it's meant to be, but it's survived. Okay, that means that. Okay, all right, there you go. Because your earpods are completely intact, aren't they?

Yes. No cracks whatsoever. I've got the best text to read you, but let's take a call first. Okay. Hi, Lucy. Hi, Lucy. Hello. Story of hope.

It's Lucy Weimer. Oh, Lucy Weimer, who used to work here at ZM. What have you got for us, mate? Oh, mate, I've dropped five four, five phones in the toilet. One is still going strong. It was like fully submerged after wheeze, maybe. Oh my God.

Hang on, that's not a good hit rate though, Lucy. You dropped five phones and one of them is still working. Yeah, but one's still going strong. It's a 20% chance.

Yeah, it's not the best. Oh no. Maybe you need to wee on them. Maybe that's the insulating component. Producer Ellie put her AirPods through the wash. I've got a ripping text for you, mate. Someone has texted in. They said, I had brand new AirPods and I put them through the wash

on the second day of having them. I put them in rice for 24 hours. Magically, boom, worked. I've had in rice for 24 hours, magically, boom, worked, have had them for six months, no problems. Yes, yes, that's what I like to hear. That's what you need to hear. Thank you. Finally, Marissa, hello.

What's your story of hope for producer Ellie in this situation? Oh, hi, Ellie. I had just bought the latest, back in the day, iPhone 4. It cost me $1,300. Nice. Yeah. And I was taking photos with my digital SLR over the Hamilton Lake. And back then I was still a cigarette smoker.

And I heard this clunk, splash in the water. And I thought, oh, there goes my lighter. Oh, I better get this photo of this duck and poo cackle. And then it was my phone. Completely up to halfway up my elbow, past my elbow. No. Yeah. And?

And I took it inside and I put it underneath the fan of the gas wall heater thing. Yeah. Yes. And then when I went to bed, I put it on top of the hot water cylinder. Yes. Yes. And? Because that's a dry environment.

Yes. And? It's still working today. And I've still got 64 gigs of unlimited Spotify music nonstop. Hey! So there is hope. Not only is that a story of hope. unlimited Spotify music non-stop. Hey! So good! Not only is that a story of hope. You tell a suspenseful story.

And then also, not only is that a story of hope, Marissa, it's also one of the most Hamilton stories I've ever heard. Like, seriously. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Producers, can I get our public health warning siren? You know we've got a public health warning to do? Oh, yeah, we do have that siren. No, no, that's more of like banger alert.

No. No, that's definitely an explosion. No, that's cash. It's more finance-based. Producers, you got anything else? There it is. That'll do. No, that's cash. It's more finance-based. Juices? You got anything else? There it is. That'll do.

Yeah, thank you. Public health warning. This is for anybody who consumes energy drinks. Now, I'll preface this by saying I do think this is a warning that we shouldn't have to give, but, I mean, you have to tell people to immunise their children these days. So we're living in weird times, aren't we? And energy drinks, let's be real, they're terrible for you.

Yeah, everything in moderation, I think. But there's no one out there going, they're good for you. No one's going, finish your workout with a hit of guarana and B vitamins. This is a story from a man who drinks energy drinks every day. He's an Australian man. He has shared graphic images of his blistered and peeled tongue, which he believes has been caused by energy drinks. I'd like you to open the picture that I've sent you, Bree. The attached image to go with this.

Now, this is Dan Royals. He's a teacher from Australia. How would you explain what his tongue looks like? It's like kind of bumpy and there's bits kind of, not missing all the way through, but it's just kind of like parts have been eaten away. It looks like there's bits of his tongue missing, right? Yeah.

He was told by doctors that the sugars and chemicals including amino acids, B vitamins and herbal substances were eating away at his tongue and causing serious damage. Now if you are an energy drinker, energy drink drinker, maybe you're like a lot of builders get into these before a big day's work, that sort of thing. I'm not saying you're living your life wrong

because Dan Royals consumes six energy drinks a day. Six. He said that. My heart hurts hearing that. My heart's going, no. I feel anxious. To be honest, my tongue's peeled before.

Is it? Yeah. From what? I got dared to eat a bunch of sour lollies. Oh, yeah. And I ate a lot at the same time. Yeah. And probably two days afterwards, my tongue peeled.

Remember we did the sour skittle challenge in here too. My tongue peeled after that. It peeled after that as well. Well, this health warning is for you too then. I guess it can go for anything that has a lot of acid and chemicals in it. Dan has said, just to make it clear, I do

care about my oral health, but this is purely from the drinks. I mean I smoke, but that has nothing to do with my tongue being eaten away at. So once again, our public health warning for you this afternoon is not don't drink energy drinks.

It's just keep it to five or less a day. Can I tell you something? Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Had a real awkward encounter walking across the street after the show last night. Do you get awful thought out? No, definitely not. But producer Ben and I were standing at the lights

and we were waiting to cross the road. Did Producer Ben get wolf-hustled at? No. There was this girl standing in front of us and she was in full gym gear because we work near a Les Mills and she was in full gym attire, looked really good, super fit, and she looks like she just came from the gym. Right.

Anyway, there was another girl that was kind of standing behind her but off to the side a little bit, and she was in work gear. Anyway, we were standing there, both girls standing in front of us, and as we started to walk across the road, this guy has come up kind of beside us and he has seen the girl in the gym gear and we're all walking across the road and he's yelled out her name and he's going, oh, whatever her name was, Jess, hey, Jess, how are you? And Jess has turned around and they were talking and, hi, yep, great to see you. How's things? And they had this big conversation. Next minute, he turns around.

The girl that was standing right near us goes, hi. It was his girlfriend. He didn't even recognise or notice that his girlfriend was standing right there. I mean, you know, probably innocent. But he's approached. No, you don't know that. You don't know it was probably innocent.

The girl was wearing, like, tight Lululemon tights. That's the power of yoga pants, baby. And a crop top. Yeah. And he's literally, like, just went straight for this other girl, literally walking behind him, his girlfriend. His actual girlfriend. And it gets even more awkward because I was thinking,

oh, they probably all know each other. They're probably all friends. And then he turns around and goes, oh, hey, babe. Didn't realise you were there. It was real awkward. And then he goes, oh, this is Jess. ZDM Spree and Clint, the podcast. We haven't done this in a few weeks, actually.

Have we? A one second chong chong challenge? What? A one second chong chong challenge? I love the one second chong chong. Oh, just play the bloody thing. Time is waiting. You only get one second song challenge work?

Pretty much, we've got 20 seconds on the clock. All you get to hear per song is one second. You need to get through as many as you can. You can name the artist or the title of the song, correct? We're playing four people for mobile fuel. Let's take Mike first. Hey, Mike. Hi, Mike.

Hey, team. Before you make your decision, Producer Ellie, can you tell us who has won more one-second song challenges? Is it Bree or me? It's close. It's been close. I mean, it's been close.

Close? Clint, by far. Okay. So with that knowledge in mind, Mike, who do you want to play for you today? I love an underdog story. I'll go for Bree. Yes, Mike.

Glad to have you on board. Screw you, Mike. No, that's fine. That's your choice. Black horse. Chantal, you're my girl, okay? Okay, gotcha. Okay, gotcha.

Yeah song number 7 Ben Soaked up in my brain Yeah Oh well I was way off We want to talk about the Venute real quick here. Quick swallow into content. If you haven't heard, purchased a Venute, half van, half ute. 1989 Toyota HiAce van.

We're taking her on a road trip. She's currently in the shop getting ready for the road trip. But we need to spice her up a little bit. Yeah, she needs a little bit of zhuzhing. I mean, she's a striking, eye-catching vehicle as it is. For all the right and wrong reasons, I had to drive it to the mechanic and it had no warrant. And I've never been in more of a police magnet

than a car that used to be a van that's had the back cut off it into a ute. Yeah, so what other things do we want to spice up? I think she needs, and this is the perfect car for this situation, a personalised number plate. See, personalised number plates can look really, really good on the right vehicle. And if you get the right one, like if you get a clever one,

then people will go, I like that. I really like what you've done there. I appreciate that and I respect it. We need your help. Because, I mean, we've got our own ideas. What would you personally put on the Venute? Well, you get six icons and you can only have numbers or letters. Right, so six, okay.

How good would it be, by the way, just quickly, how good would it be if they, and this would open the market up too, if they introduced emojis into personalised plates? That would be good. If you could get I heart eggplant. That would, I mean, like, that would just... That would change the game. You'd sell more personalised plates, wouldn't you?

But we don't have those. Can you imagine the police? Tidball, can you please check this plate? I heart eggplant. I heart eggplant. Yeah, are you there? 247, we've got the report on that. The report says the driver is a massive dick.

No, I was thinking that we could just kill two birds with one stone and just get the number plate T-O-W-M-E. T-O-W-M-E. Tome. Because obviously this thing's going to have issues along the way. If it's written right there on the number plate, then people will know what to expect. Oh, I don't know.

I think you're selling the Venute short. You think I'm underestimating how far a 1989 Toyota Hiace that's done 470,000 k's is going to go? Yep. I mean, I don't mind big red car or big red van because she's a big red van. That's too long. Yeah, I know.

You could get B-G-R-D-V-N. Yeah, yeah, don't mind that. Yeah. Or I don't mind boobs. Stands out. Can I just say I don't mind boobs either, but I don't know about a personalised plate. Or.

Surely boobs is taken, by the way. Can we get one of the guys to jump on the Kiwi Plates website and just see if boobs is available? What about boobs with a Z? Yeah, boobs with a Z. Boobs with two zeros for the O's. Yeah, that'd be good. What about if one of the B's is an eight?

Don't mind it. Yeah. Can we just see if that's available? Infinity boobs. Someone out there has the perfect plate idea for the Venutes. Yes.

I mean, we want to hear from you right now. 0800 DIAL ZM. What should we get for a personalised plate for the Venute? Easy as that. You can text us also on 9696. We'll do this together, New Zealand.

The best idea for a personalised plate for the Venute will win for themselves mobile fuel. It's a fuel up Friday this afternoon. And, I mean, you could have the ultimate honour. You could have your idea branded right there on the Venute. Technically, you will name her. Technically, you will name her. Technically, you'll name her.

Someone has just texted in, my friend owns the number plate boobs. She would sell the plate. Really? Love it. I would have thought you won that plate for life. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I mean, she's become a van slash ute for the people.

It's a venute for the people. She's become an icon on wheels very quickly as well. Yeah, I bought a venute off Facebook that went viral about six weeks ago. We are now making it our mission to take her on a road trip. Yeah. Good way to round out summer, I feel. Yeah, and she needs to be enjoyed by all of New Zealand. You know, people need to feast their

eyes on this beauty. She also needs a service, but we'll get around to that. Right now, we're looking to zhuzh her. We're trying to spice it up. You know, she's here, she's looking good. We're trying to do like, you know those high school shows where they do the makeover to the nerd? That's what we're doing. We're making

her beautiful by trying to find the right personalised plate for the venute. The final touches. You said you wanted boobs as a personalised plate. We've actually had a bit of correspondence as to that plate, including some from Liam. Hi, Liam. Hey, how's it going? Good.

What can you tell us about the personalised plate boobs? Is it taken? I guess legally it is But it was on my late nana's van And her van's being sold So the number plate is pretty much available Wait Liam, Liam There's so many questions So many

What type of van? It was some people mover Some black Why on earth Okay, no, no The real blackness. Why on earth... Okay, no, no, the real question, Liam. Why on earth did your grandmother purchase the personalised plate boobs? Because she's a character.

That's amazing. I want to get... Oh, that is awesome. Can we get Liam's details? I think it might be... Your grandma does sound like a character and it might be a fitting tribute to her if we were to purchase boobs from you and reinstate it on the venue. Does that sound like a character, and it might be a fitting tribute to her if we were to purchase boobs from you

and reinstate it on the venue. Does that sound like something that could happen? That does sound like it could happen. I would have to confer with my mother, though, because it would be quite a personal item that she might want to hold on to. Of course, and it gets handed down from generation to generation.

Yes, we would love to carry on the legacy, but we understand if it has to stay in the family. Stay there, Liam. We'll come back to you, mate. Hi, Mark. Hi, Mark. Hey, how are you? What do you reckon?

Personalised plate for the venute. What would you put on her? I reckon U-T-E-A-R-S. Uterus. I'm just checking. U-T-E-A-R-S. Yeah. It does look, when you look at it, it does look a little bit like ute arse.

Because it's half ute. Well, either or either. And the ute part is in the arse of the car. I love it, Mark. I'm obsessed with that. You two have developed together, you know, you've grown the womb together on your show, so it's perfect, isn't it? I'm just checking.

Uterus is unavailable, but if we replace the E with a three... We could have it. There you go. It is available. I like it, Mark. I see it. I like it. I want it.

I might got it. Hi, Lee. Hi there. What do you reckon, Lee? Uterus isn't available because I own it. You own uterus? Are you joking, Lee? No, I'm it. You own uterus? Are you jokingly? No, I'm not.

What is this kind of magic personalised plate fountain that we've stumbled upon this afternoon? Oh, my God. What sort of vehicle do you have uterus on? I had it on a Ford Ranger. It's now on a Suzuki Escudo. That's not even a ute. I thought you were going to say it's in the car that I conceive my kids in.

Oh, no, it is a ute. Sorry, I'm not familiar with my Suzuki's. But I also had a people mover, and I've got quite a few kids, so we were going to get the number plate Vangina. How do you spell Vangina? Any way you want to. I'm going to try and spell it. V-A-N-G-N-A.

Let's try that. Let's see if it's available. I'm on the Kiwi Plates. V-A-N-G-N-A. Let's try that. Let's see if it's available. I'm on the Kiwi Plates website. Oh my god, I've got my fingers crossed. Oh, I'm really sorry. It is not available. Oh no. If anybody has a good variation on how we could spell Vangina on a personalized plate, I mean, Lee,

it'd be gutting for us to get it and you couldn't use it, but it would be prior to placing the Venute Vangina. I wasn't going to get it. I'm happy with my uterus. Okay, okay, this is too good. What are the odds of that? Some people are born to have a personalised plate.

Some people can't pull it off. Lee. Lee pulls it off. Lee should have a VIP membership. Hi, Emily. Hi. What do you reckon, Emily, for the Venute? A personalised plate.

What do you think? Venute. V-A-N-U-T-E. I think she's done it. Wait, why is the most obvious option not the first one that we thought of? Emily. I like it, Emily. Hang on, hang on, hang on.

I'm just checking the amount of letters required. Yes, yes. V-A-N-U-T-E. It's actually perfect. I'm going to bang it in. I'm going to bang it into the website now and see if it's available. Come on, Kiwi Plates. Come on, Kiwi Plates.

Here we go. You can try a four or a three. V-A-N-U-T-E is unavailable. We do, however. V-A-N-U-T-E is unavailable. Oh! We do, however. Yeah. We could get in contact with whoever owns Vanute. Vanute, with a four instead of an A, is available.

Emily, leave it with us, okay? Okay. We'll see what we can do. Can we take down Emily's details too? Because if she ends up naming the Venute, then she gets a free ride wherever she wants. Yeah. Even if you don't want it, Emily. Okay.

Good brainstorm, everyone. That was great. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Let's do a birthday banger. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. We take your birthdays, we figure out what was number one on your 16th,

and then we all decide in here what's the best one to play. First person up to the plate is Jordan. Hi, Jordan. Hi, Jordan. Yo. What's your birthday? Sorry? What's your birthday, Jordan?

21st of March, 94. Okay, Jordan, you were 16 in 2010 on the 21st of March. And back in 2010, this hit the top of the chart. Gaga and Beyonce, Telephone. Jordan, are you a Gaga fan? Oh, not really, but not too bad. I can kind of tell that from your voice. Could be worse. I like that song. Remember the video?

Oh, it's a tune. Yeah, the video was an event. I remember everyone got around the YouTube around the computer screen the minute it came out. When you think about it, what a mix. Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Yeah, it's great. Amazing. Adam. Hey, Adam. Good afternoon, guys. Hello, Adam. What's your birthday?

It's 18th of the 10th, 1986. Okay, Adam, you were 16 in 2002 on the 18th of October, and this is your birthday banger. Atomic Kitten covering Blondie, You Get the Tide Is High. How do you feel about that? It's no Barbra Streisand, but it's not too bad. It's no Barbra. Hey, Adzy, it's a classic.

It's no Barbra Streisand. We've got one more to do, and it's for Ruby. Hi, Ruby. Hi, Ruby. Hi. What's your birthday? September, September 96. Okay, Ruby, you were 16 in 2012 on the 10th of September,

and on that day, this was number one. Baby, come on, I can do this alone. Oh, friends of the show. Ruby, do you remember this song? Banger. This is Titanium. Now, this is an interesting one for a number of reasons One of the key members of Titanium is Andrew Pappas

Which you would know as Toyboy Toyboy, Megan from Fletchborn and Megan's husband Great guy Lovely guy You'll also know if you're a radio historian That Titanium was the band that The Edge created The boy band So here's the thing guys

Can I say This is a historic moment, that song has never been played on ZM because that song was created by a rival radio station. For the same reason that The Edge didn't play the Hot Mess Express send it, ZM has never played Titanium Come On Home. And they should have played it because it was number one in the country.

Producer Ben, do we have that song loaded up in the system? No. No, we don't. It's not in the system at all. No, it's not in the system. That's not going to stop us though. We could play it from YouTube. I've got Spotify. We could play it from Spotify. If that's the song we're going with, if that's better than Atomic Kitten and

Lady Gaga Telephone. The essence of Birthday Banger is I usually think to play something you would never hear on ZM. That song there never, ever has been played on ZM. Never, ever has been played on ZM. And I really love Andrew. And can I say, as one of the guys who was part of the creation of that band,

it is a banger. Like, it is a hell of a pop tune. Let's play it. Are we going to play it? Yeah, let's play it. Ruby, do you want to hear that as your birthday banger this afternoon? 100%. Let's do it, Rubes.

All right. Thanks, guys. This might cost us our job, but make sure the volume's up. We're bound to lose it sometimes. Live life on the edge. Yeah, Ruby. Don't say life on the edge at a moment like this, okay? Live life on the ZM.

Okay, I think we're on. I think we're on. We're on here. Woo! Wait. Oh. It's on. Be aware, this is coming out of my laptop.

Here we go, birthday banger, ZM. I remember the times we would both sit and laugh About nothing at all And the hours would pass so We could sit and watch And reflect from the store And the world we'd ignore Money made, then we'd be bored

How do we get this back, oh How do we get this back, oh Cause I can't do this alone Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I can't do this alone Baby, come on home I can't do this alone I can't do this alone

Baby, come on home Come on, come on home Come on, come on home Whoa, whoa Come on, come on home I remember when we first met on that day You seen calm in the gray Didn't know why I met you that Day when we would spend every minute alone Think through sticks and through stones

But with you I feel at home How do we get this back? How do we get this back? Cause I can't do this alone is back. I got bits to make, a song to deliver, but you ain't hearin' what it's to put my baby on the music plate. All my favorite music, baby How do we get this back? How do we get this back? Cause I can't do this alone I can't do this alone Baby, come on, come on I can't do this alone Baby, come on home

I can't do this alone I can't do this alone Baby, come on home Come on home Baby, come on home Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Baby, you're my home Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Baby, you're my home That, ladies and gentlemen, is historic. That is the first time that song has ever been played on ZM. It came up as a birthday banger. And probably the last. It is New Zealand's very own boy band, Titanium, husband of Megan Louise Pappas, host of Fletch Vaughan and Megan. That's Come On Home from Titanium.

That's the first time I've heard that song. Did you like it? Yeah, I did like it. Yeah, it's a good song, eh? It's good. All right, there youium. That's the first time I've heard that song. Did you like it? Yeah, I did like it. Yeah, it's a good song, eh? It's good. All right, there you go. That's Birthday Banger. We tried to get hold of Andrew to get him on for this momentous occasion.

He's busy. He's busy setting up his own cafe. Yeah. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. Here in New Zealand at the moment, our Prime Minister is being lauded around the world for her handling of a horrible situation. She's being put up for all kinds of accolades,

including being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She's incredible. Where, on the other hand, the Prime Minister of the country where I'm from, Australia, there's a story currently doing the rounds that he shit his pants in a McDonald's in 1997. I mean, similar. Our countries, we have a proud shared history,

but our countries have never been further apart. This is legit. Scott Morrison, who is currently the Prime Minister of Australia, there's a story that we don't know if it's a rumour, it's circulating that in the hours after the Cronulla Sharks lost the NRL grand final in 1997, he violently shit his pants at the Enderguide McDonald's. Believe it or not, and this is real news,

there are a number of news outlets investigating this. There are people who have picked this story up and run with it. As broadcasters, Clint. Oh, it's our job. It is our responsibility to get to the bottom of this news story. We need to get the facts. We're going to call McDonald's Australia and just see if they...

They've heard about it? See if they know anything. Or comment. Good afternoon, McDonald's customer service. This is Bree speaking. Was your name Bree, did you say? Yes, it is. How can I help?

That's crazy. My name's Bree. Hi, Bree. I'm calling from Sydney today, Herald. I was after a comment on a story that's been doing the rounds at the moment about one of your restaurants. We aren't. Who did you want the comment off?

I'm not authorised to give one. Have you heard the story? It depends on what it is. The story about Prime Minister Scott Morrison shitting his pants at the Endergyne McDonald's in 1997? Are you across this story, Brie? No, I am not. Right.

I haven't heard anything about that. But unfortunately, I'm not able to make a comment on it. The story is that, just so you can educate yourself, he violently shit his pants at the Endergyne McDonald's after the NRL grand final in 1997 where Cronulla lost. Oh, my God. We've tried to call the store, and obviously they're going to be flooded with calls

to confirm or deny the story. So we just thought we'd give you guys a call. But you can't call me. No, it's not something that I can do. I would definitely recommend contacting the store. Right, right. But anything, like we don't have CCTV footage from that far back or anything like that.

Right. In your opinion, though, of what you know of ScoMo, do you think it's true? Honestly, I have no idea. I don't really follow politics, to be honest. Not anymore. Brie, good afternoon. Do you think it's true? Honestly, I have no idea. I don't really follow politics, to be honest. Not anymore. Bree, good afternoon.

It's Bree's editor at the Sydney Daily Telegraph, Clint Roberts here. We're just going to get some context. I know you can't make an official comment, but with the news of Prime Minister Scott Morrison shitting his pants at the Endergyne McDonald's, would you classify this as hard news or soft news? Would it be something that I

would want to read? We've heard it was very soft, Brie. And the story has leaked. Oh my gosh, this is one of the best calls I've ever taken in my life. Yep, the story has slipped out

into the press unfortunately for Skybox. Oh my gosh. Yeah, look. Alright, we'll keep trying to call that Indigo and McDonald's

and we'll try. I would, they don't really answer the phones between the hours of 12 and 2 because people are calling to see if the Prime Minister then we'll try. I would, they don't really answer the phones between the hours of 12 and two because People are calling to see if the Prime Minister

shed his pants there. It's the lunch rush so they don't have to actually answer their phones. So I would recommend that you give it a go after two o'clock. Well, you've been a massive help, Bree.

We really appreciate it. Not a problem at all. Have a good day. Best of luck. See you later. Bye. Thanks. Bye. Have a good day. Best of luck. See you later. Bye. Thanks. Bye.

I want to take a minute here to talk about, I think we've talked about this on our show before, at a stag do or a hen's night you get a magician. Yes, a magician. A magician. Yeah. Who, you know, does magic tricks with their clothes. Yeah, makes their clothes disappear.

Exactly. It's amazing stuff. They're very talented. Super talented. And very popular. Magicians have been around for quite a long time. But I came across a video of a magician that they have in Vegas. And this is a magician that I've never seen before.

And when you say magician, you mean magician. Yeah. We're doing that finger thing With our That ear thing with our fingers Magician Yeah Cool I'm with you I'm with you

I'm with you I'm gonna show you a video Oh can you do that on the work wifi Of this magician you can Yeah sure And this is in a Vegas nightclub And can you tell the people What you're

What you're looking at Okay Oh Not keen tell the people what you're looking at. Okay. Oh. Not keen. What I'm looking at is a robot magician who has a security camera for a head and then everything else

is robotic. It's kind of shaped like C-3PO. But then it has very defined and curvaceous robot buttocks. And chesticles.

Oh, I didn't see those. There you go. I didn't see those. Oh, he's got robo boobies too. This is a thing in Vegas. Science has gone too far. People, apparently you can connect with the robo magician or stripper and you can make them do different things.

Like what? What do you want a robo magician to do? You can pick. From a list of? Gyrate. Gyrate faster. Vibrate. Vibrate.

Pulsate. Pulsate. Pulsate. Anything. Look, a couple of things. One, I don't trust a robot stripper. Like, imagine getting a lap dance. I'd be worried it was going to, like, clamp up and cut me in half. Malfunction.

The other one is, they get lube all over your pants. One great thing. Yeah. You don't have to tip them. Do you not? Well, they don't have kids to feed. Doesn't matter. This is just the beginning, mate.

Robo strippers means they're going to come with pay wave. Or as they call it in the robo stripping community, tap and gap. Tap and go, tap and go, tap and go. Oh, my God. Tap and go. Just swipe here. No, a little lower. A little lower.

You know what I'm scared to see? Yeah. Because they're the female ones. I hate to see what the male ones look like. Cool. Okay, not keen? Did I say I'm not keen? If you are keen, Vegas.
