Starting point is 00:00:00 My loneliness is killing me. Oh, damn it, I didn't even have the microphone turned on. I must confess, I still believe Still believe That when I'm not with you, I lose my mind Give me a sign Hit me baby one more time That was a Friday-oke preview for you.
Starting point is 00:00:23 How's everybody going going welcome to the podcast it's a brand new week and we're here with a brand new happy monday flow is is it the time of the month for you no is it heavy no and i hope it would never be um but i'm not in control of that you know it's not ideal no i don't imagine it is Especially while swimming Alright On today's show I don't want to give too much away But
Starting point is 00:00:50 There's big stuff on today's show Yeah I offer Bree the opportunity of a lifetime Let's just say that Stop It is for you I mean For me not so much For me it's potentially a disaster
Starting point is 00:01:02 But as a friend I've tried to make your dreams come true. It means I have to do work. Yeah, but some work you take joy in. And this is one of those. I did offer this and beg and plead with you to let me do this. And I'm so glad you've come to your senses. Yeah, I'm giving you what you want. So you'll get that in today's show um and i mean just
Starting point is 00:01:27 the regular usual level of witty banter you've become accustomed to on the brie and clint show yeah high amounts yeah oh it's potent yeah it's a potent amount we're like a concentrate we're like a comedy concentrate you need a little bit and then add a bit add some water to to mellow us out can i ask in terms of that conversation just there, you guys have cordial here, hey? Yeah. Cordial's a thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:51 So what's the difference between cordial and Raro? Cordial is liquid. Raro is powder. But it's the same. It does the same thing, essentially. Yeah. Like when you put Raro in water, it makes like a sugary drink. Yeah. How come we didn't have anything like Raro? Do you put Raro in water, it makes like a sugary drink. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:05 How come we didn't have anything like Raro? Do you have Raro in Australia? No. I'd never heard of it until I moved here. Whoa, that buzzes me up. Raro's like, you know, you got the food pyramid for Kiwi kids. Big deal here in this country. Yeah, Kiwi kids put Raro on the eat often one yeah
Starting point is 00:02:26 even though you shouldn't it's like look it's like powder crack it's like cocaine for kids yeah kids with kids here would you buy a sachet because like 30 cents i think the last time i bought it was and you shake it out into your hand and then eat it just lick it straight out of your hand you know there's orange hands that was a whiz fizz for us sherbet Did you guys have whiz fizzes? Is it sherbet? Yeah White sherbet Oh right yeah I guess Yeah
Starting point is 00:02:48 It's like similar It's like literally all sugar That's what Raro is Yeah That's so weird that we didn't know that Good for like half time sports team drink Like an orange yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:03:01 Friggin awful for you otherwise I was going to say not ideal to me i guess it gives you a bit of energy for like 20 minutes i wonder if americans listening to this can relate it to anything you'd have you'd have a powder drink i lived in america so i know what it is yeah so they have something called kool-aid it's the same it's kool-aid a powder yes so that's their version of raro but we didn't have anything like that. Yeah, right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Cool. Interesting. But you know what else I've noticed? This is weird. Raro is mostly tropical, by the way. Yeah. Is there any like red flavors? I always just see orange.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Orange, mango, passion fruit. Is there red? Where's the red flavor? Don't get into it. You don't need to. I know, but red is always the best. Yeah. Would you agree red is usually the best flavour?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Surely you agree on that. My mind's going purple. Purple? Yeah grape flavour. Ellie will back me up. Oh I do love grape flavour but we don't have that in Australia. Ellie if you were faced with an option of two drinks, you don't know what they are, but one is red and one is purple, which one would you go for? Purple, I think.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Yeah, I don't know why it is. You know what's weird? So this is what I learned. When I lived in America, I slowly learned that Australia as a country have the dominant flavors, right? Yeah. So in Australia, the dominant flavors, right? Yeah. So in Australia, the dominant flavors are raspberry, very dominant. And then I would say like you got orange and then you've got. Orange is bleh.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Yeah. No one likes orange, but like the dominant one. And this is offensive to you, Apple. Yeah. The dominant one is raspberry. Whereas in America, the dominant flavor is grape Whereas in America The dominant flavour is grape Yeah Or watermelon
Starting point is 00:04:48 Oh watermelon Yeah they love watermelon That's the most dominant flavour No one here has perfected Watermelon flavour anything Yeah see in America What's our dominant flavour Yeah what's your dominant flavour
Starting point is 00:04:58 Because ours is raspberry So I think the way to look at this, Ellie, is you're at Burger King. Yep. And you've got your cup and you're going to fill your own drink. Which one do you go for? You can only have one. It's probably raspberry. It's probably raspberry because it feels the most special.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Because you know what else is also. I put everything in my cup, though, by the way. So raspberry is dominant here too. Because you know what else is quite dominant back home as well, is cherry flavour. Nah, no cherry in New Zealand. I love like a cherry starburst. Oh yeah, give it to me.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Oh, welcome Ben. Don't you like cherry starbursts? No. I don't like cherry the flavour. I don't like a cherry. Oh my god. Ben is that one person that likes orange flavours Orange? Nah I prefer banana Oh get out
Starting point is 00:05:51 That's actually How did I forget this? That is New Zealand's flavour It's banana Nah I think it's lime I think it's lime I've figured it out We're lime We're green In Australia if you're asking for a milkshake You get like normal flavours I think it's lime. I've figured it out. We're lime. Yeah. We're green. Because you know how I know that?
Starting point is 00:06:07 In Australia, if you're asking for a milkshake, you get like normal flavours like strawberry or chocolate. Yeah, we have lime. And in New Zealand, it's banana or lime. Or caramel. Lime doesn't even go with milk. It would curdle. Yeah, I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:06:20 And yet, keen for lime, G. Oh yeah, give me a hot smug and banana one. Here's today's podcast, G. Oh yeah, give me a hot smoking banana one. Here's today's podcast, everybody. It's flavoured. I need to go get some Raro. Yeah, okay, it's flavoured. Bree needs to go get some Raro. See you guys. Nothing compares to a trip to the cinema. It's a bigger picture, bigger sound.
Starting point is 00:06:40 That whole escapism in a dark environment. And most of the country's in for cold snaps. Weather Watch is forecasting snow on Queenstown's Crown Range Road and several South Island passes. The North Island will range between 7 and 13 degrees, but forecasters say the chill will disappear by the end of the week. That's news.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Hey Google, what's the time? It's 3pm, give or take a minute. Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio. Playing ZM on iHeartRadio. Hey Siri, when are Bree and Clint on? Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Hello everybody, Bree and Clint. G'day guys, happy Monday after your weekend.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Did you hear that we did it? What? We did it. What did we do? We got it. Zero. Zero day. Zero.
Starting point is 00:07:24 It's our zero day. Yes! Happy zero day, everybody. Now, don't get complacent. Don't run out and pass your neighbour or anything like that. Touch wood now. Touch it. We don't have any wood in here. Underneath the table, it's wood. That's particle board. Yeah. Yeah, wood. Hopefully something in this building is made of wood. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:40 A zero day. It's huge. It's massive. That's such good news. And gives a little bit of hope hope too, I feel like, for people to be like all our hard work is actually paying off. I think they're scared that people are going to go, cool job done. Yeah, I know. And run out and go and meet those Tinder dates
Starting point is 00:07:56 and go and get whatever they're looking to eat. Did you see, because obviously the NRL is coming back. Yeah. And did you see all the- The world can't live without the NRL. I know. So the idea is that they're flying live without the NRL. I know. But so the idea is that they're flying all of the NRL teams to Sydney and keeping them there for three months.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Yeah. To play all the games there. But did you see all of the NRL players who were flouting the rules? Yeah, they're having like boys days and stuff. Yeah, and they had like girls over and all this type of stuff. And there's people calling for them to be suspended. They've sent the Warriors to a place called Tamworth. Oh, I love Tamworth.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Do you? Yeah, Tamworth Country Music Festival. Yeah. Oh, it's good. So Tamworth's sister city in New Zealand is Gore. Is it? Yeah. Yeah, that sounds about right, actually.
Starting point is 00:08:39 The country music capital of New Zealand. Is Gore the country music capital? Yeah. Oh, shout out to the Gore area. That's where the Gore Golden Guitars are the country music capital? Yeah. Oh, shout out to the Gore area. That's where the Gore golden guitars are awarded. Is it?
Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah, and so now the Warriors have gone to Tamworth. Oh, cool. Hey, we've got a really cool prize to give away today and every day this week in
Starting point is 00:08:54 the lead up to Mother's Day. Of course, it's Mother's Day this Sunday. It's okay, you can pretend that you remember it even if I just told you about it.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Sunday. Mother's Day is on Sunday. Sunday. Yeah, it's Father's Day and we can't remember. Gotcha. We've't remember. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:09:06 We've got a really cool price giveaway that includes $400 cash and a Cadbury Roses prize pack for your mum. Yeah, this is awesome. All you need to do is call us now, 0800-DIAL-ZM, and be willing to pull a little prank on your mum. Yeah, call us if your mum can. She needs to be able to take a call from us at the moment too. You need to ask her for something.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Please only call her if your mum's a good sport. Yeah, we don't want yelling mums on the phone. But it's a really good prize, and I think she'll understand once she understands that you've just won $400 and a Cadbury Roses prize pack for Mother's Day. How much do they need to give to their mum? At least half.
Starting point is 00:09:46 At least. Well, it depends how badly she takes the call, actually. If you're interested, 0800DIALZM, you can call us now and get on board with that. Ahead of Mother's Day, which is this Sunday. Okay, this Sunday. Wait, what day? Sunday. This Sunday.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Don't forget. He's 660 on ZM. Bree and Clint. Should have. Bree and Clint. ZM. Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint. ZM, Bree and Clint. That's... I got a bubble in there. Hello, everybody. That's Rihanna and Calvin Harris on ZM.
Starting point is 00:10:15 If you take a look at Twitter at the moment, Clint, around the world, everyone's in the same boat at the moment. We're all at home. We're all, you know, in lockdown, isolating. There's different versions everywhere, but pretty much, you know, it's a very different boat at the moment. We're all at home. We're all, you know, in lockdown, isolating. There's different versions everywhere, but pretty much, you know, it's a very different lifestyle at the moment. Everyone on Twitter is actually talking about, you know, how they feel like time is moving really quickly in the past, you know, six, seven weeks, but then it also is really slow. What do mean in the moment what do you mean like for
Starting point is 00:10:48 example uh a girl named bella she wrote on twitter how was april how has april lasted five seconds but i feel like i've been in lockdown for about six years yet most of quarantine has been in april is time going fast or slow i don't understand understand. That's a really good point. You know what I mean? That's how I feel. We started lockdown in March. Yes. And now it's May. So all of April. So where was April? Exactly. Where was it?
Starting point is 00:11:16 But then I also feel like... Because you usually bullet point those things with things that happened to you. And nothing happened. That's so weird that you say that because there's actual people and scientists who are commenting on this saying that everyone is feeling that way for actually a scientific reason. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:33 So, and I mean feeling the way of like time is going really slow but then it's also going really fast. You can't differentiate which one it is. Is it because every day is Groundhog Day? Like I found this on the weekend. Like every day is wake up and do the same thing. And normally I'd say to my wife, oh, what should we do tomorrow? But that's the dumbest question you can ask at the moment.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Exactly. Because it just sets you up for failure. You can't do anything. You can't do anything. I mean, you can play a different board game or watch a different show, but it's still kind of the same thing. It's still the same thing. You know?
Starting point is 00:12:04 Yeah. A guy called James Broadway, who's an instructor of psychology at the Lincoln Land Community College, has commented on how human experience that comes with age, so essentially older people, you know, as they grow older, new adventures generally are few and far between because they've done everything. You've done everything and also your knees hurt. Exactly. So it creates the illusion that years are actually going quicker
Starting point is 00:12:33 than what they ever were before. Is that why it happens? Because you can't have big milestones where you're like, oh, that's when I did that. There's no chapters. Exactly. Yeah. So they're saying that right now isolation is very similar
Starting point is 00:12:47 to that kind of sensibility because the more emotional memories and the longer perception of time duration are connected. So if you do something where you're like, oh, that was, you know, that weekend where we went out and had that great time. It's going to stick in your mind. Exactly. I've got you. I know what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I know what we need to do. Literally Groundhog you're saying. I know what we need to do. Literally Groundhog Day. Yeah, I know what we need to do. What? More emotional moments. Tonight when you go home, break up with your partner. Just break up with them. And even if you get back together with them, there'll be that moment.
Starting point is 00:13:15 And you'll always remember that time that they broke up with you. On lockdown too, when neither of you could go anywhere. Trust me, shit will slow down. I bet it will. Bree and Clint. Trust me, shit will slow down. I bet it will. We opened the show today with the good news that today is the first zero day for New Zealand as far as new COVID-19 cases go. So, hey, well done, New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:13:35 We're very proud of you. Well done. We all did this. Really great news, and I think the best thing to remember is, yes, let's get excited, let's be happy, but don't take this as something to go, oh, well, job done. It's like when you see a sports team score a try and then they act like they've won the game already
Starting point is 00:13:54 and then they get pumped. We have to go back on defence. It's like when you used to say sport, you used to play sport and then you guys would score and you'd run back to your own half and you'd go, scores are at zero, okay? We treat this like scores are at zero. I hated that saying. My coach used to always say that.
Starting point is 00:14:08 He'd be like, consistency is key here. Scores are at zero. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want you to get complacent, okay? So that's good news. Let's park that because I've got some bad news. I don't know if I can take much more bad news. It is the year of bad news.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Like at the end of each year at Rhythm and Vines, they do a video and they wrap up all the good and bad bits of the year, all the emotional stuff, the highs and the lows. This year is all going to be bad. Yeah, they can't even make the video this year. It's going to have Australian bushfires. That was this year, by the way, in case you forgot. That was this year.
Starting point is 00:14:41 And that was horrific. We've had COVID-19. And now I would like to introduce to you Murder Hornets. Who's riding that Pee Wee 50 in the studio? Is that the angriest wasp we could find? I asked Ben to get me an angry swarm of wasps. It sounded like a Pee Wee 50. Is that the angriest wasp we could get?
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah, that's it. That's the angriest wasp on record.. Yeah, that's it. That's the angriest wasp on record. Okay, that's all we can get. That's all we can get. Murder hornets kill 50 people a year in Japan. Wait, is a hornet the same as a wasp? No, I should have told you to get a hornet. Sorry, my bad.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Oh, well, there's the issue. Are they the same? Different. They're different. Hornets are bigger, I think. Hornets are way worse. They kill 50 people. Yeah, I remember reading this article. They kill
Starting point is 00:15:25 50 people a year in Japan and they've just been discovered in the USA. They are wasps. Hornets? Yeah. I knew that. They're the largest. Okay. They're big wasps. Sorry, yeah. Let me describe to you. I'll tell you what they look like. Okay, what do they look like? So a murder hornet, which is a great
Starting point is 00:15:42 name, by the way. No, that's a horrible name. It's a great name. That's what the Charlotte Hornets should have called themselves. And the basketball team, everyone would be terrified of them. No one wants to play the Murder Hornets. No. They have teardrop eyes like Spider-Man. I didn't write this description, by the way. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:59 They have orange and black stripes. So you know they mean business. So they're like a bee? They're a hornet. I know, but that's what I mean. They kind of look like a bee? They're a hornet. I know, but that's what I mean. They kind of look like a bee. But they're orange and black. It's like...
Starting point is 00:16:09 Similar. They're breezy yellow and black. This is orange. It's way more aggressive. Oh, way different. Like a tiger. It says they've got orange and black stripes down their body like a tiger. Sexy.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And they've got wispy wings like a dragonfly. Okay? You know when a murder hornet is present because they go into beehives and they don't just kill the bees. They rip the heads off bees and beehives. They kill every single bee in the beehive and then they fly away with the bee's body
Starting point is 00:16:38 to feed it to their young and leave the head behind. This is like the villain of the insect world. Exactly right. This is the Bane. This like the villain of the insect world. Exactly right. This is the Bane. This is the Thanos of the insect world. They're nearly as bad as praying mantises where all the women eat their lovers. It's the same thing except these ones can fly.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Except they're badass bitches. Wait, can praying mantises fly? I think they can. Yeah, they can fly. Anyway, watch out for murder hornets, New Zealand. Terrifying. This Sunday is Mother's Day and thanks to Canberra Roses, They can fly. Anyway, watch out for murder hornets, New Zealand. Terrifying. Bree and Clint. This Sunday is Mother's Day, and thanks to Cadbury Roses,
Starting point is 00:17:13 we're hooking people up with $400 cash and a Cadbury Roses prize pack for their mum. How good. All you've got to do is call your mum and ask for something that we don't think mums would normally give you. Not normally dish out, but we want to see how generous the mums are this week. Ella, do you have a generous mum? Oh, she's pretty generous, hey, but she's also fair, so I'm really hoping that she's going to be generous. She's also what? Fair.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Fair, right. I have three other siblings, so usually... That's going to be hard. Okay, Ella, what sort of car do you drive? I have a Toyota Echo. Perfect. Toyota Echo. I reckon your Toyota Echo would look really good with a big bore exhaust and a blow-off valve.
Starting point is 00:17:49 So what you're going to do is you're going to call your mum, you're going to tell her you saw the latest Fast and Furious movie and you want to buy a big bore exhaust and a blow-off valve for your car. It's going to cost about $800. Sounds good to me. What's the second one? The bore exhaust and a... And a blow-off valve.
Starting point is 00:18:05 It's the thing that goes, whoops! Perfect. Should we start? What's your mum's name? Tash. Tash. Good luck, Ella.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Hello, Tash speaking. Hi, Mum, it's Ella. Hi, love. What's up? I was just wondering, so I've just been watching the new first Cypress Furious movie and, oh, my gosh, their cars are amazing and they sound so loud.
Starting point is 00:18:35 I was wondering if we could upgrade my little Toyota Eco and put a big bore exhaust on and a blower smell. It's not too expensive. It's only $800. Really? Yeah, yeah. You're pretty good. That'll look hilarious on your little car.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Tilly will love it, Mum. Come on. Oh, no. How much did you say? About $800. Oh, my goodness. No, I don't think so. Are you sure, Mum?
Starting point is 00:19:07 Well, how are you going to pay for that, my love? I'll do the dishwasher. That's a serious amount of dishwasher unloads and washing my car. I'll do it all. Oh, love, I don't know. I don't know. Just yeah, I'm not sure it's the right car for it.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Hey, Mum, it's Brian and Clint here from ZM. Hi, Tash. Sorry to jump in on your personal blow-off call. It's just we want to get Ella in our gang and her car's too quiet. So you'd be doing her a solid if you'd just spot her the 8 Hyundai. And maybe just some NOS as well if you can throw that in the echo. Yeah, is that okay? Oh, look, you know, I guess YOLO, right?
Starting point is 00:19:49 YOLO. Yes. Yes. We've got her over the line. Hey, Ella, that means you've won the $400 cash and a Cadbury Roses prize pack for your mum. Nice work, Tash. Oh, no way. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Congratulations. You've also won the title of coolest mum for the use of the word YOLO. Congratulations. Oh, man, that's awesome. Thanks, guys. No worries. You're very welcome. If you're stuck for a Mother's Day gift, nothing says thanks, mum,
Starting point is 00:20:17 like a box of Cadbury Roses. Bree and Clint. Through all the stuff that we're going through at the moment, you might have forgotten that there's an election this year. Oh, that's right. Yeah. We've got to go and figure out who the next government is going to be because that's what we've got time to do.
Starting point is 00:20:32 It's scheduled for, I think, September. Right. And in there is going to be the Marijuana referendum. Oh, the old hooch. No, it's not hooch. You've got to get a new name for it. Hooch is bootleg alcohol. Coochie gooch.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Right. So, yeah, last week they released exactly what the law will look like. Because basically if you say, yeah, I'm keen, then they're just going to make it legal. So what does that look like? That's like one of the biggest things in this election. Yeah. Oh, it is.
Starting point is 00:21:04 It's a pretty big deal. Yeah, and who's going to be the government? I mean, yeah, but that always happens is what I Yeah. Oh, it is. It's a pretty big deal. Yeah, and who's going to be the government? I mean, yeah, but that always happens is what I mean. Yeah, good point. You know, this is the one big kind of thing that we're going to actually go on. Are we going to legalise weed and are we going to legalise Simon Bridges? Those are the two major questions. They kind of go hand in hand.
Starting point is 00:21:20 So I've gone through the legislation with a fine tooth comb and I've got some information for you. Do I get to vote? No, no. I'm pretty sure I do. Really? I've lived here for longer than two years. But you're not a citizen. Yeah, but I'm Australian.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Okay, yeah, you get to vote. You're in. I need to look into that, don't I? Yeah, you should look into it, actually. Actually, let's figure out who you're going to vote for and then we'll help you look into it. Here's the details on the weed referendum. Okay, I've gone through and I've picked out some of the things
Starting point is 00:21:49 that I think you'll care about. So where can you smoke weed if it gets legalised? Okay. At home or on a licensed premise? Right, so what's a lot like, is a licensed premise like somewhere where they might sell it? So they're going to allow coffee shops, like they have in Amsterdam, so you can go to a cafe.
Starting point is 00:22:08 A particular cafe or any cafe? No, a particular cafe. Right, right. Or any cafe can get it, but you've got to apply for the licence, but you'll be a weed cafe then. Okay. And you can smoke it in that cafe. You won't be able to buy it at a bar.
Starting point is 00:22:20 So you won't be able to buy weed anywhere that they sell alcohol. So you can't go to a bar on a Sunday and have a joint and a rosé. Yeah, because you know what they say, beer before grass and you're on your ass. Yeah, and grass before beer will make you feel queer. No, I don't think that's it. Okay, I don't know. I think it's you're in the clear. Oh, you're in the clear.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah. What's the age limit? Yeah, what is it? 20. Why 20? What's the age limit? Yeah, what is it? 20. Why 20? Because they're saying that your brain is not developed enough to handle psychoactive substances.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Before then. Yeah. But 20, you're sweet as apparently. How much weed can you buy? We already knew this one, but it's worth repeating. Yeah, Paula Bennett made this known, didn't she? 14 grams a day or 14 tinnies. That is the equivalent of.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I mean, I've never bought weed before. Is that a lot? It's 14. Well, if a tinny is a serving. Yeah. So it's 14 servings. So I guess it's a bit. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:18 If only we knew. It's some three or four 50 bags is what it is. It sounds like a lot. Can you grow it yourself? Yes, you can. You can grow two plants each or four plants
Starting point is 00:23:28 per household. So only two... So wait, two plants each or four plants per household. Right. So if you and your flatmates
Starting point is 00:23:36 all want to grow it, you can only have four plants. Okay, so if there's six of you, you can't have two plants each. No. Right. You can have up to four plants per household.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Because that's like a business then. Yeah, true. Yeah, good point. Good point. And what about edibles is the other question. Can you buy weed that you can eat? Brownies. So here's Daddy Thick Snack Andrew Little confirming the edibles you can and can't have.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Definitely not gummy bears, but obviously brownies are a possibility. Yeah, but no gummy bears. And obviously brownies are a possibility. Yeah, but no gummy bears. And will it be expensive? No. Well, kind of. They've said that it needs to be affordable enough that it kills the black market.
Starting point is 00:24:17 So they can't have it really expensive because then the gangs will just go, we'll sell it to you cheap as. True. That's so true. But they can't have it so cheap that people are like, needs to be somewhere in the middle. You know what? I think they should bring in the rule
Starting point is 00:24:31 that whatever government goes in this election and if they vote yes on weed legalisation, they should smoke a blunt to celebrate. Yep, there you go. That's the rules. That's what has to be done. Yep, and I can't wait to see it. Who would you rather see, Jacinda or Simon Bridges?
Starting point is 00:24:54 Stoned. Yeah. Simon Bridges. Yeah, same. Let's hit off the Quarantine With Me music. A little game we came up with where we realised that people are going to, you know, the extra effort in the kitchen over quarantine. Yeah. And we decided to call it Quarantine With Me because we want you to call up,
Starting point is 00:25:19 tell us the most elaborate and amazing meal you've cooked in isolation and then you and I, Clint, are going to pick our favourite one. Yeah, are you flexing on your flatmates, your family members, or your Instagram, perhaps? We don't know. First person who's going to play is Terry. Hey, Terry. Hi, Terry.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Hi, how you doing? Good, how are you? Yeah, good. We're the judges. Present to us your most elaborate lockdown meal so far. Well, we killed a deer and my parents make bacon. So I made a venison and bacon pie that went along with our banana cake for my little brother's birthday. Terry, did you call us to play Quarantine with me last time
Starting point is 00:26:06 and you made venison burgers? Well, yeah, I did. Was that you? I thought that was you, Terry. And I was like, what are the odds? Terry, how many deer have you killed in lockdown? I'm a lot of four, three, two, one. How many people are you feeding, Terry?
Starting point is 00:26:26 Well, I've got my partner and my brother at my house, and then we deliver venison to my dad as well. Yeah, right. So that's, what, four of them? And they've eaten four deers. That's impressive. Let's go to Al and find out what's cooking at Al's place. Hi, Al.
Starting point is 00:26:41 G'day, Al. G'day, guys. How's it going? Good, thank you. Al, what's the most elaborate meal you've cooked in quarantine? Okay, so that's tonight, believe it or not. Oh, okay. Okay, so my gorgeous fiancée's coming over after a long stint being apart.
Starting point is 00:26:56 So we're old school. We're real old school. So I'm from, my parents were in their 40s heading to 50s when I was born. So I was brought up with old school cooking and so was she. So tonight's dish, are you ready for that? Oh, we're ready. Well, we're salivating already, Al. Hit us with it.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Some people will be putting their finger down this ration, guarantee. It is slow cooked 12-hour steak and kidney stew with venison, with steak and lamb kidneys made with absolute love. 12 hour cook. So, beautiful. That has been accompanied by parsnip,
Starting point is 00:27:36 kuma, and potato mash with aioli. If it had been brains, I love a good sheep's brain, but I have to draw the line at kidneys. Is this what your fiancé wants? Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:27:52 She'd love it. Okay. Old school. Match made in heaven. That's a bit cute that they both like the same gross things. Two dead deers on the menu so far tonight. Let's go to Carmen. Carmen, hello.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Hi, Carmen. Hi. Now, are you cooking a wonderful vegetarian frittata or something? Or are you cooking tripe? No, actually, it was my birthday during quarantine, so I made myself a white chocolate mud cake with three layers and a white chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream with white chocolate ganache on top.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Holy hot damn. Hot damn. That is all day. I just love the word. Can you say ganache again? Ganache. Ganache. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Okay, wait there, Carmen. We've got to decide. We have venison bacon on the menu. Venison bacon and egg pie from Terry, who has won this competition before. She has won, yeah, but, I mean, that sounds delightful. Yeah, you are eligible again. We've got Al, who's doing slow-cooked steak and kidney stew for his fiancée, old school.
Starting point is 00:28:52 I really liked Al. I like his energy. And I think it was very cute that him and his fiancée liked the same gross things, but I don't think that one's for me. And we've got Carmen, who's making a white chocolate mud cake with a white chocolate ganache and white chocolate. I think it's for me. And we've got Carmen who's making a white chocolate mud cake with a white chocolate ganache and white chocolate. I think it's the cake. I think it's the cake.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Yeah, congratulations, Carmen. You've won Quarantine with me and a free mobile fuel voucher's on its way to you. Thank you so much. No worries. How much of the cake did you eat? Oh, my gosh, like half of it. Brie and Clint. I need something from you, Brie.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I need you, actually. Okay, well, how much money do you have? None. I'm not going to pay you for this thing. It's something that people would normally get paid for, but I don't think I need to pay you. If you say you should do it for experience... I think you should do it for the experience.
Starting point is 00:29:38 No, I'm over that conversation. I think you should, and you should do it for me. I've decided... Okay. ...that I need a haircut. Now we're talking. I've reached a point of lockdown. I've reached a point in lockdown where I don't like the man that I see in the mirror.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Oh my God, I'm so excited. And I would like to offer you the opportunity to cut my hair. This is the best day ever. Yeah, I thought you'd like it. I'm so excited! I did offer it to you. When was it? A couple of weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Yeah. And you weren't that desperate then. I wasn't that desperate then. But you've become desperate. Now I've got the wings. You've got a little mullet at the back. Yeah, I've got a little mullet coming out there and I don't want a mullet, okay?
Starting point is 00:30:20 Okay. There are a couple of rules that come with this. I have a style that I would like you to work towards and I will let you know what that is in due time. So you've got time to practice and research whatever you need to do. I could practice on my flatmate, Alan. Yeah, that's fine. I don't care how many people fall in the path to my haircut.
Starting point is 00:30:38 I just need you to be as well prepared as possible for mine. I can borrow my friend's dog clippers if you don't have some. No, I have clippers. That's fine. I'll provide the clippers. Okay, I'm going to really actually try my absolute best to do a good job. Good.
Starting point is 00:30:51 That's what I wanted. Yeah. I'm not going to try and stuff it up. I'm really going to try. Okay, I've got two more conditions. Okay. I would like to have an expert present while you're doing the haircut. Okay. I would like your mum, mumma Di, to be live streamed into the haircut.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Okay. To give you pointers. Moral support. As we go. So if you hit a roadblock, if you hit a snag in the haircut, you can say, mum, what do I do here? And from country Queensland, she can steer you in the right direction. Okay, that's fine. She does my dad's
Starting point is 00:31:26 hair, my brother's hair, my uncle's, my auntie's, my other auntie's. She does everyone's hair. Okay, I don't know that they have the hairstyle that I want, but that's good. You can share it with her. You guys can have a prep session, whatever you need to do. You and Aunty Sherl share quite the same hairstyle. And finally,
Starting point is 00:31:41 I said, excuse me. Aunty Sherl rocking a good perm. I don't know who that's more of an insult, excuse me. Aunty Cheryl rocking a good perm. I don't know who that's more of an insult to, me or Aunty Cheryl. And my final thing is, while I won't be paying you for the haircut, if you do a satisfactory job,
Starting point is 00:31:58 I will give you the $100 that I owe you from our bet. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. No. I'm going to counter offer that. You're giving me the $100 regardless. That's a separate bet.
Starting point is 00:32:13 That's fine. I'll go and get my haircut by someone else. I'll get Ben to do it. Wait, so I'm paying you? No. So you're giving me the money that I won fair and square in the rock, paper, scissors bet? Bearing in mind you were willing to do the haircut for free just a minute ago. Yeah, but what?
Starting point is 00:32:30 The $100 is my insurance that you do a good job. That's all it is, okay? Fine, $100. It's just an insurance policy for me. And so if I look in the mirror at the end of it, and you know what? It can be a three-way consensus. You're going to say it's bad. Okay, it has to be, yeah, all three people.
Starting point is 00:32:46 I trust Ben and Ellie out there, okay? No, no, no. Actually, I changed my mind. Yeah. We post it on Instagram and people will vote. No, those are the people who said I should get a perm. People will vote? No, people will vote whether I did it or not.
Starting point is 00:32:59 You're not making the rules. You're not making the rules. No, I'm making the rules. I'm making the rules. Those are my three rules, okay? I forgot what they were. You've got to cut a certain style for me. No, I'm making the rules. I'm making the rules. Those are my three rules, okay? You, um, I forgot what they were. You gotta cut a certain style for me. Mama Di is your coach. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:10 And if you do a satisfactory job, I will give you the $100 that I owe you in cash on the spot. When we say satisfactory, out of 10, what are we talking? Uh, 7.5. Okay? Let's go 7. Okay, 7. 7? And I have's go 7. Okay, 7.
Starting point is 00:33:25 7. And I have one more condition. Wait, when do you get to conditions? I'm making rules now. And if you like it and you think it's a 7 or above, you also have to plug my ratchet salon business on your Instagram. Okay, deal. Deal?
Starting point is 00:33:42 Deal. As long as I get a goddamn haircut. I honestly. I'm so excited. Yeah, I'm just looking forward to getting this thing done Okay, the haircut will happen this week Okay There are some things we need to put in place before then though But we've got a deal
Starting point is 00:33:53 I need to sharpen my scissors Yeah, definitely sharpen the scissors They're kitchen scissors, so Let's play that game Alright Come up with a new game Bree and Clint. Let's play that game. All right. Come up with a new game. It's called BuzzFeed Be Buzzy.
Starting point is 00:34:12 And essentially came up with this game, been searching on the internet, doing a lot of web surfing and all the rest of it. And I've noticed that BuzzFeed, right? I noticed that BuzzFeed have the weirdest articles ever. Yeah, I think BuzzFeed invented clickbait. You reckon? Just with the headlines that they would post. Some of them are so ridiculous that they sound fake,
Starting point is 00:34:31 and that's exactly what the game is. Dominique, you're going to play against us in BuzzFeed Be Buzzy. Welcome to the show. Hi, how are you? Good, thanks, Dominique. All right, the rules are I'm going to give each of you, we'll go one by one. We'll start with you, Clint, where I'm going to give each of you, we'll go one by one. We'll start with you,
Starting point is 00:34:45 Clint, where I'll give you the title of the article and you have to tell me whether it's fake or real. Okay, got it. Alright, here we go. BuzzFeed be buzzy. Is this a real or fake BuzzFeed article? 17 reasons lakes
Starting point is 00:35:01 are inherently more superior than the ocean. Oh, that's a real, but that's what, that's Brasfeet's bread and butter. Wait, whose turn is it? Mine or? Sorry. Hold on, Dominique. Both of you were right.
Starting point is 00:35:13 It is a real article. Well, that's a point each, Dominique. Well done. Nice work, Dominique. Here comes your headline. 13 presidents who were alarmingly hot when they were young. Oh, wow. Real?
Starting point is 00:35:30 I don't know. Am I just too out of it? Yeah, it's your turn. That was a real article on BuzzFeed. Was Donald Trump on it? I don't think so. I don't think so either. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Okay, Clint, here comes your second headline. Build a Frappuccino and we'll tell you what people like about you. Okay, so you put together your Frappuccino order, I'm assuming. And from that, it's like a personality test. Yeah, that's real. That's a BuzzFeed article. It is real. It's a BuzzFeed article.
Starting point is 00:35:59 I wonder what I would be. See, this is why their articles work so well. I want to do it. All right, Dominique, here comes your second one. Is this a real headline on BuzzFeed? You might be cleaning your penis wrong. Real? That is a real article on BuzzFeed.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Wow. I mean, I want to read that one too, but I'm scared to. All right, Clint, here comes your third and final one. Is this a real BuzzFeed article? How to get your donkey to do dog tricks. No, that's not real. There's no market for donkey articles. There's not enough people with donkeys.
Starting point is 00:36:38 The click-through rate is not high enough. That's not a real BuzzFeed article. No, it's not. It's fake. How are you so good at this? You know my parents own two donkeys. Do they? Well, they'd love the article.
Starting point is 00:36:49 They're weird animals. Dan could check the penis one too. Yeah, it'd really work well for him. All right, Dominic, you need this to tie with Clint, okay? Okay. All right, is this a real BuzzFeed article? This yes or no quiz will reveal if you're obsessed with poo. No.
Starting point is 00:37:10 You're saying it's fake? Yeah. It's a real article. Oh my God, no. Yuck, who's clicking that article? I probably would. Yuck. Actually, to be honest, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:37:24 No. I already know the answer. Poo? Farts I get funny. Poo, too far. It's hard luck, Dominic. Not everyone can win BuzzFeed Bee Buzzy. Well, I was close. Yeah, you were close. Well done. You were very close. Kia ora.

Starting point is 00:46:15 Or attempting every single note in that Whitney Houston song And I mean really going for it To be honest, I kind of glazed over there and forgot the emotion. I've got a sweaty upper lip. You would for the performance you put in. The good thing is our cameras didn't miss any of it. I thought you were about to say the cameras were off. Don't post that.
Starting point is 00:46:36 I can imagine it would look angry. Only post it if you can isolate Bree's microphone and take out all the work. No, don't, don't, don't. I'm warning you, Ellie. I'm warning you. You're not scared of her, Ellie. I know where you live.
Starting point is 00:46:52 Yeah, but you're on lockdown. Now's the time. Now's the time. Now's the time to do it. You know that song we were just discussing, what was bigger, I Will Always Love You, or that song? Yeah. You said I Will Always Love You is in The Bodyguard.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Yes. That song is in Dreamgirls. Both huge. But The Bodyguard, probably I Will Always Love You, I'd say. I feel like it was. And this song as well. To be honest, I've never seen either movie. Can you listen to my voice?
Starting point is 00:47:20 It's like strained from the performance I just gave. Yeah, it's more than good singing you did. That's what happened to Whitney's voice over time too. Something was said at my flat, I think it was a couple of nights ago now, and I was shocked. Right. My flatmate Annabelle, we call her Old Pasta Girl or Iron Guts Annabelle on this show.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Yeah, a name that she doesn't want, but she earned it, so she keeps it. Yeah, or Queso Dip Girl want but she earned it so she keeps it. Yeah, or queso dip girl. Either or. You take your pick. She goes the other night to me. She goes, oh, my God, I just found out the craziest thing. So keep in mind she's 26 at this point. She goes, did you know that a cucumber is actually also a pickle?
Starting point is 00:48:10 In her defence, okay, all right, all right. Yeah, I hear you. In her defence, I remember the day I found that out as well. And if you've managed to live your life into your 20s without figuring it out, it is a mind-boggling experience figuring that out. Okay? Just in her defence.
Starting point is 00:48:26 But once, can I ask, because you're obviously in the same boat. You mean like a gherkin, right? A gherkin is a little cucumber. Yeah, a pickle. A pickle is a pickled cucumber. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, why don't they put that on the jar then?
Starting point is 00:48:41 Because it's a pickle. I know. I know. I know. I know now. But I'm just saying for all i mean yes but um it got me thinking about things that i've learned or stuff that i can't do as an adult because we've had a lot of time to chat in our flat and we've discussed like things that all of
Starting point is 00:48:58 us do well and then things that we can't do well right okay. I've realised as an adult that no matter how hard I try, I'm just not good at washing. Oh. Like doing my clothes. No matter how hard I try. And it's not a cop-out. You're not trying to get someone else to do it for you? No, I end up leaving a tissue in one of my pockets
Starting point is 00:49:19 or I put a pink shirt in with my light colours. I'm just terrible at it. Good laundry is one of the great joys. It is. Honestly, it's a simple pleasure. I wish I was good at it. I want to be good at it. I want to get better at it.
Starting point is 00:49:32 I want to get that fresh laundry smell. That's what I want. I don't know what that is, but I want to open the dryer and go, oh, yes. I haven't got there yet, but I'm pretty good at laundry. I always forget they're in there and then they have that wet smell. Yeah. Yeah, it's not ideal. I also have learnt that I, no matter how old I am,
Starting point is 00:49:50 I'm never, ever going to understand how to do my taxes ever. I just can't do it. I did mine on the weekend. Did you? Yeah. Can you do mine? I don't know that I'm doing it right. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:50:02 You just do it and hope for the best. I have no idea. Like I feel like, because I got an accountant because I need one or else I'd literally be probably done for tax evasion. And you're like, I'm not evading. I just don't know. I don't get it. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:50:15 I feel like she thinks I'm the biggest dum-dum. Yeah, but that's why you pay her. I know, but I keep missing, like I'll email her and be like, how do I do this? And she'll send a really helpful email back with all these big words that I have no idea what she's doing. Yeah, right. Okay, you need to figure that out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:29 As a 30-year-old woman who is self-employed in some of her work, you need to figure that out. What about you? What can't you do? You said you couldn't think of one. I can think of one for you, something that you should be able to do. I've thought about this and I haven't been able to think of anything that I can't do. You can't tell your left from your right. Oh yeah, there's that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:49 And you're 32. Yeah, I'm 33. 33. Thank you. Even worse. Clint can't tell if I say the car. It's inbuilt. It's inbuilt.
Starting point is 00:50:59 No, if I say. It's inbuilt. Some people can't. Go right. He has to put up his hands so he can see which one looks like an L. That's why our sweet Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ gave us a left hand. That is terrible.
Starting point is 00:51:09 So we know. Is it you as well that can't read an analogue clock? No, I can read an analogue clock. No. I can do that. Oh, I love how that's like. I've got an analogue watch. Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I can. Yeah, true, actually. It could just be like a flex. Yeah. Producer Ben, what's something you can't do as an adult that you probably should be doing? Yeah, I can't open a letter because of my nails. I've got no nails.
Starting point is 00:51:30 I have to have a knife. I used to use a knife to open a letter. You can't open a letter? Well, I don't have nails. It's hard to get in there. To be honest, bloody envelopes. No one can open them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:41 No, literally everyone can open them. That's why they've existed for nigh on seven centuries. No, I say get rid of them. I say let's be done with the envelope. I'm with Producer Ben. Thanks, mate. Yeah. What about you, Producer Ellie?
Starting point is 00:51:56 Am I meant to know how to use the lawnmower? No. Because I definitely don't. Do you have any lawn? Little tiny patch. We have to pay someone for that. I'm not into gender roles, but some things you can leave to your boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Thanks, I thought so. Because she's got one, she can leave it to him. I think you should know how to use it. Okay, I don't. I've never been taught. And I would suggest you get a ride on because that's a bit of fun. Well, that does sound fun, actually.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Just be aware, if you're pushing her to do it and she doesn't know, it's quite a high-risk... It is quite risky. It's quite a high-risk task to be like, oh, suck it up and mow the lawn. It literally is a spinning motor of death if you don't know what you're doing. Yeah, but if the blades are up...
Starting point is 00:52:37 What? She doesn't know what that means. Yeah, no, I'm tapping out now. Need to put petrol in. Oh, it's a lot of work. It is. Actually, yeah, don't worry about it. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:52:44 I want to know from people, 0800DIALZM, what's something you don't know how to do as an adult and you probably should know how to do it? Yeah, we want to hear them. Give us a call, 0800DIALZM. Or you can text us. We'll come back with your suggestions straight after the news. We were just talking about earlier because my flatmate says to me
Starting point is 00:53:02 the other night, she was like, did you realise that pickles are actually cucumbers? Yeah. And now, because of course I knew that. You knew that. I thought everyone knew that, but it turns out no one in this room here with me knew that. Yeah, producer Ben, that was a first for you, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:53:23 Yeah, I didn't know that, but it makes sense. I'm not bothered. Yeah, but let's be real. I'm like, whoa. I'm like, yeah, Producer Ben, that was a first for you, wasn't it? Yeah, I didn't know that, but it makes sense. I'm not bothered. I wouldn't. Yeah, but let's be real. I'm sort of like, whoa. I'm like, yeah, they're the same. They look the same. I thought it was pretty whoa.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Ellie, you were pretty whoa, weren't you? Yeah, I was pretty whoa. Yeah. Were you like, buzzy G? I was like, buzzy G. Were you? Yeah, but the only thing Producer Ben eats is meat, so I'm not surprised by that.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Buzzy G. Anyway, we got onto the topic of, you know, what are the things you don't know how to do as an adult or you've learnt, you know, maybe later in life. Yeah. Clint doesn't know how to tell his left and right. Okay, mine is a disability, okay? No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:53:58 It is. Don't say that. You're marginalising me. No, you've just never pushed yourself. I have. When? Every time I need to turn a corner. Yeah, you have to hold your hands up. Yeah, because that's fail-proof.
Starting point is 00:54:10 It's fail-safe. Oh, so safe when you're driving. In a split decision. You think it's hard for you being a passenger. Try being me playing rugby. I fear for my life. Try being me and they're like, pass left, pass left and I'm like, I don't know. When we were in America, producer Ellie said to me, we had a discussion where we were like,
Starting point is 00:54:26 should Clint be driving us? Ellie almost hit a car when we were in America. You nearly crashed multiple times. BS, I did. You put your hands off the wheel. Anyway, let's not argue. We all don't know how to do things. I feel like you want an argument. There's a few people texting through. Someone said they're 29
Starting point is 00:54:41 and they don't know how to measure the appropriate amount of pasta. It's so hard. It's so hard. What are we talking? So, you know, when you boil the water. Yeah. And then you, how much pasta out of the dried pasta is enough?
Starting point is 00:54:57 Oh, okay. Have you seen the life hack with the pasta ladle? So, you know, the spoon that you use to scoop the spaghetti out with? Yes. It's like a regular ladle but it's kind of got teeth? Yes. And you know how it's got a hole in the middle for the water to drain? Yes. Did you know that that hole in the middle of the ladle is one exact serving of spaghetti? Yeah, I did see
Starting point is 00:55:16 that somewhere. That's amazing, eh? It is. I need to start doing that. Sean, first of all, how old are you? I'm 39. 39. 39. All right, Sean. And what can't you do as an adult that you probably should be able to do? Skirts and dress are the same thing to me.
Starting point is 00:55:32 I can't tell the difference. What? Sean? Is it something that you grapple with in daily life? Like, do you have to deal with skirts and dresses? Do you have daughters or anything? No. When the wife asks me what I think of her skirts or dress,
Starting point is 00:55:45 I have to consciously think about it. Oh, my God. I'm so baffled by that. That's so interesting. Which one? Yeah, right. The same thing. Can you tell the difference between a G-string and a bra?
Starting point is 00:55:56 Let's hope so. I sure as well hope so. Okay, thank you, Sean. Good luck with your journey. Mandy's here. Buzzy G. Mandy, you're an adult. How adult are you?
Starting point is 00:56:06 How old are you? I am, well, I'm 32 next week, so I'm going to say I'm 31. Happy birthday for next week. Happy birthday for next week. Are you doing anything special in lockdown? Probably just eating more than I usually would. Good girl. I love it.
Starting point is 00:56:21 What's the thing that you can't do as an adult? I don't know how to put air in my tyres. Oh, we're talking PSI. I know my tyres. Well, I just tell my husband that they're getting flat and he does it for me. So I'd be screwed if he left me because he's kind of handy. Is that what he has over you?
Starting point is 00:56:38 Yeah. He's a terrible partner, but he can't leave because he's the only one who knows how to inflate the tyres. He's annoying as hell, but I'll be without a car. I can't stand the guy, but man, he puts air in my tyres. He does a great job. I need to ask, Mandy, I want to test you. Do you even know the PSI, how many PSIs should go into your car's tyres?
Starting point is 00:57:02 I feel like someone said like 29 or something, but that could just be making it up. No, we don't know your car, but that's pretty good. You're an independent woman. You don't need that man. Yeah, I reckon it's time to go solo. Congratulations. Do it on your birthday.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Yeah, you go fourth. Dump his arse. Don't do that. We're just kidding. Rest assured in the fact that everybody has their things, okay? Don't feel bad. Everybody has got their thing that they can't do Can someone teach me how to poach an egg? Not me
Starting point is 00:57:30 Brie and Clint I've got a bit of a quiz ready And for this quiz, I mean it's a very topical quiz, okay? It's a highly relevant day-based quiz So Brie, can you please tell me what is the date today? I know what it is. It is May the 4th be with you. It's a quiz about Star Wars.
Starting point is 00:57:58 Welcome to the Star Wars quiz. You knowing what the date was wasn't one of the questions. Damn it, that's the only one I'm going to get right. Today, you're going head-to-head against Brad in the Great Star Wars quiz. Hello, Brad. May the fourth be with you. May the fourth be with you, Clint. Thank you very much.

You just have to buzz in with your name when you want to have an answer. Ben, can I get some buzzers on here as well, please, mate,
Starting point is 00:58:41 just so we can play this correctly? Here we go. Your buzzer is your name. First question. You're in this, Bree. You're in this as much as anybody else, okay? You've made it through to the quiz. That was the biggest challenge. What colour was Mace Windu's lightsaber?
Starting point is 00:58:56 Bree! I'm gonna say green. It's incorrect. Of course, Mace Windu played by Samuel L. Jackson. Do you have an answer for us, Brad? I was thinking blue. That was going to be my second guess, Brad.

Starting point is 01:00:54 actual words? Correct. She's stalling. He said to Luke... Brad's 2-0 up, he's still chucking bombs. He said to Luke, look what happened was I met your mum at the pub and we had a few tinnies and I took her home and things got a bit frisky.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Would you like to have a stab at it, Brad? Oh, in the lines of, Luke, I am your father? That's what I would have said, too. It's a common misnomer. Here's the actual quote It's only you who killed him No I am your father
Starting point is 01:01:31 What's the difference? Darth Vader actually said No, I am your father Not Luke I am your father I mean, I was pretty close too We're having fun Are we having fun? Do we want to have another question? Yeah, I want to have another question mean, I was pretty close too. We're having fun. Are we having fun?

Starting point is 01:03:10 You're going to do the thingy. Oh, right. Sorry, I thought we were doing the song, but we'll do that after. Nah, see, we might cancel the song today. Oh, no, we don't have to. No, no, no. No, we can. Hey, it's up to us.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Depends on the requests that we get. If we get enough requests today, then we will, of course, do the morale boosting song at 5.30. Should we do the theme for today? Yeah. A song that you wouldn't, a song that you've forgotten about, but when you hear it, you're like, banger. Yep.
Starting point is 01:03:41 So a banger you forgot about. Is that what it was? Okay, cool. Someone just texted in, you can't cancel the request or I'm changing, boy. Okay, we'll do the request. Okay, we'll do the request. But first I want to tell you about this video that's going absolutely bonkers on the internet today. And it's from a couple of YouTubers who decided that with all this madness that's happening in the world at the moment,
Starting point is 01:04:03 because obviously, you know, everyone is working from home. We're talking, you know, all the celebrities doing late night television are also working from home. Yeah, I sent Ben a picture of Selena Gomez who set up a home studio on the weekend. Oh, yeah, I saw that. It was just like his wardrobe set up where he records the high low. Yeah, very similar. So they're all doing that.
Starting point is 01:04:20 James Corden, Jimmy Fallon, they're all interviewing people from their house across, you know, Zoom. That's how it works. Anyway, these guys on YouTube decided, their names are Josh and Archie, they decided they were going to pose as producers of this company and set up fake interviews with celebrities. Okay. And pretend like James Corden or Jimmy Fallon
Starting point is 01:04:45 was interviewing them. Take a listen to the start of this video. From politicians to princes, everyone is using Zoom. Indeed, during the stay-at-home season, every TV show is interviewing their guests remotely. So I wondered, can the celebrity guests always see who's interviewing them when they're on TV? Would it be possible to trick celebrities into thinking James Corden was interviewing them
Starting point is 01:05:09 by just playing them old recordings of James Corden's TV show? Genius. Absolutely elaborate plan they came up with. Yeah. So what they did was they trolled through all these internet clips of James Corden or Jimmy Fallon, whoever they were pretending to be. And then essentially they set up a Zoom call with real big time celebrities and then they were just playing these like clips off a soundboard to make it seem like they were being interviewed.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Right. Because they told them, they came up with this plan, they were like, because we're using a TV camera. Yeah, blame the pandemic. Yeah, you're not going to be able to see James, but you'll be able to hear him. Surely they wouldn't fall for that. Surely there'd be too much lag and, like, difference in voice and whatever.
Starting point is 01:05:52 You'd think so, but some big-time celebrities fell for the prank. And let's go to the first one, who was Craig David. Welcome back. We are joined by one of my favourite artists and human beings. How are you, buddy? You good? I'm good, James. How are you? You know, I'm okay. In this time, have you found any hobbies? To be honest, I've got back to my roots of, there's one thing recording and writing songs, but actually the plugging in of cables and getting deep into the equipment. Oh, poor Craig David. I know.
Starting point is 01:06:26 He's like, I'm back, baby. I feel so bad for the people. This is the best thing that's happened to me since that Justin Bieber remix. And oh. Poor Craig. But the reason why these guys are going so. And then he went into his punishing cord chat. And then he did a performance and James introduced him. No.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Anyway, so the reason why these guys are going so viral today is because of the celebrity they had on the latest video. Got it. So she's a part of one of the biggest TV series this year. She hasn't done any interviews since the TV series has come out. She's refused. It's Carol F. in Baskin. It's the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Thank you so much for being on our show. We appreciate it. We love you. How are you? I'm doing great. My daughter, Jamie, suggested that I do this interview with you, so she says hi, and we are working every day with the cats at the sanctuary. Are you with family now, or are you by yourself?
Starting point is 01:07:29 My husband and I live about five miles from the sanctuary, and my daughter lives next door to us, and so my daughter and I still come into the sanctuary every day because we have to take care of all of the big cats here. That's not even a soundboard. That's just a bad impression of James Corden. No, that was Jimmy Fallonorden No, that was Jimmy Fallon Oh, that was Jimmy Fallon
Starting point is 01:07:47 That sounds nothing like James Sorry, they're picking different hosts to impersonate Got it So Carol Baskin does this full interview And they show all the correspondence Between her and her husband Who's her lawyer And it's full on stuff
Starting point is 01:08:04 And she ends up coming on and doing the full interview Did they find a way to ask her If she killed her husband, who's her lawyer, and it's full-on stuff, and she ends up coming on and doing the full interview. Did they find a way to ask her if she killed her husband? No, they didn't ask for that. Yeah, because that's the scoop that Jimmy Fallon should have gotten. They couldn't find that clip of Jimmy Fallon saying it. Asking a guest if they'd killed their husband. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:19 What a shame. Bree and Clint. We've arrived at the morale-bo morale boosting request part of the show. Let's park it up here for a little bit. Just joking about cancelling it. That was just a joke. Yeah, kidding. I was never going to cancel this.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Okay. We've asked you for a specific themed request today. What was the theme? Put it into words again. The theme was, is I want songs where it's going to make you go, oh, I totally forgot about this song, but it's a banger. It's a hard thing to pull off. And if you're ever in charge of the aux cord,
Starting point is 01:08:48 that's always the goal. That is the goal. And you probably have that song in the back that you pull out for a special occasion. But what is it? What's the song that we're going to use today? What is that song? To boost the mood of the nation.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Bearing in mind today is a happy day for New Zealand. We're at zero COVID numbers. We had zero new cases today. We achieved our first goal. Okay, that is very well done. Very good. So is the song to celebrate that Kevin Rudolph? Do you remember Kevin
Starting point is 01:09:21 Rudolph? No. I remember this song though. Yeah. He had a couple of songs. I remember this song though. Yeah. He had a couple of songs. This was the biggest one. Is that the song that we play today or is it Eric Pride's Call On Me? Pride's Prince. Prince.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Pride's. Prince Pride's. Prince. Fantastic music video. Such a good, one of the best of the decade, I reckon. I agree. So that could be our song. Is it Ice Cube, You Can Do It?
Starting point is 01:09:55 You can do it, put your back into it. It's the song. I can do it, put your back into it. You can do it, put your back into it. This is good, eh? Where it makes you go, that was a banger. Yeah, right? We've got one more.
Starting point is 01:10:07 It's either that or 303, Don't Trust Me. Remember when Leighton Meester was in the music video? Everyone was like, oh my God, she's transitioned into music videos. Leighton Meester can do anything. That was good. So what's it going to be? What is our morale boosting request? I think we don't need to go through it today.
Starting point is 01:10:32 Yeah, I think we know though, right? Yeah, I think I know. Just give me a second. I think it's this. Me too. Here you go. This is your morale boosting request. You probably forgot about it.
Starting point is 01:10:50 You know you haven't heard it for a while. Free and clean. ZM. You can do it, put your back into it. I can do it, put your ass into it. You can do it, put your back into it. I can do it, put your ass into it. Put your ass into it. Put your ass into it. Tick, tick, boom, hit me banging down these back streets.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Loving back streets, treated like an athlete. Life ain't a track meet. It's a marathon, cemetery that a nigga gets carried on. We be coming to the day we die. Ask the bartender if you think we lie. But if you think we hot, you can think again. We'll be right back. You can try to smoke an ounce to this. Well, I pronounce this. Maybe bounce them. Mama move them hips. Maybe shake them cheeks. I got.
Starting point is 01:11:48 But say you got. Don't stop me. That's real. Don't stop me. I will. I'm going to do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Do it. You can do it. Put your back into it. I can do it. Put your into it. You can do it. Put your back into it. I can do it, put your ass into it. You can do it, put your back into it. I can do it, put your ass into it. Put your ass into it.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Now all I wanna do is have fun with my loved ones. Loved ones, relatives, and my cousins. And I got them by the dozens. When they buzz on, quick to say, your husband. This is for my, parked away. Extra love for the ones who ain't got no date. But when we get tech-made with Ice Cube, the great.
Starting point is 01:12:27 As soon as I get a word, we can rush the state. Some life in place because life is great. It don't matter if you rich and your folks ain't straight. I'm still coming with that underground gangsta shit. No matter how many... say we ain't the... Don't stop getting it. That's real. Don't stop me getting it.
Starting point is 01:12:43 I will. Gonna do it. Gonna do it. Gonna do it. Do it, do it. Uh-huh. That's real. I do hardcore rhyming, hard time grinding. Gorilla pimples, why the niggas wanna dine it? I've got a lot of thugs, class in the mud. Pockets on flushes, G-Riffle flushes. I don't rent out boxes, jealous of my shit. Wonder where this young get all this fly. That's why you're rooting and recruiting, 6'8 hooping.
Starting point is 01:13:19 I was in the hood shooting, cause I had the right hooping. I come from high-rack bowls and oversized jars. I'm passed up stripes, I got stars and bars. No time for player Haitian, Mac paper chasing. K Kick out the substation to the hip-hop nation. The mo' hits, the mo' bigger with illegal way figures. Just develop the status of a platinum plus nipper. What's the first bad hope? This show, I can hit it.
Starting point is 01:13:35 I keep pushin', don't quit it. Don't stop till I get it. Don't stop, get it, get it. That's real. Don't stop, hit it. I will. I'm gon' do it. Gon' do it.
Starting point is 01:13:44 Gon' do it, do it, do it. You can do it with your, hit it. We'll be right back. You can do it, put your back into it. I can do it, put your back into it. Put your back into it. We be clubbing. We be clubbing. We be clubbing. ZM Bree and Clint, we asked you for a banger that you've maybe forgot about for our morale boosting request today, and you guys came through. Ice Cube, you can do it. Whoever suggested this nailed it.
Starting point is 01:14:46 Nailed the brief. Yeah, well done. Someone said, I just turned into a white rapper in my kitchen. The kids are looking at me like, what the hell is mum on? Wahoo, loving it. Brie, I promised you a new way
Starting point is 01:15:03 for you to make money on the side. Yeah. I said it's something that you in particular would be good at. Okay. Because you've already kind of parlayed your skill set into this. Okay. Have you heard of the website OnlyFans.com? OnlyFans.
Starting point is 01:15:21 Yeah. No? Do they sell like cheap like fans that you can use at like a soccer game or something? Nah, it's more like a private video streaming site where people can sign up as your fan and pay you to be able to view. Why would you say that I could do this? Because you last week posted a nude on your Instagram. I posted a very tasteful, mind the pun, bowl, cereal, bath of, I don't know what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:15:54 You posted a photo of you naked in the bath. No, I wasn't naked. I was tastefully covered up. You told me you were naked. Yeah, I was naked, but not in the photo I wasn't naked. You were covered in Froot Loops. Yes. That's fine, because that could be your thing, okay?
Starting point is 01:16:06 If that's how you want to do it, that could be your thing. You could go, I'm Serial Girl. And people, I don't know, but people might pay good money for this sort of thing. The reason I say it is, look, it's going mainstream. In the past, this has been the domain of X-rated movie stars and that sort of thing. Yeah. I read an article today that one of the guys who was on The Bachelor in the States is now doing it, and he's making $50,000 a month.
Starting point is 01:16:31 What? To be fair, he's doing full pornography on there. Oh. But, um. Now, look, I definitely am not into the nude thing. Not for me. You don't have to. You don't have to.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Not judging people who are into that. You don't have to. Yeah, yeah. Perfectly fine if you. Not judging people who are into that. Perfectly fine if you're into it. I'm not comfortable. But you know what I could do? What's that? If people were interested
Starting point is 01:16:51 in watching me in sweatpants eating popcorn and watching Netflix. This is what I'm saying, okay? You're the one who made it dirty. I'm just saying that
Starting point is 01:17:00 you could do anything. You make videos all the time. Why not set up a subscription service it's like at the moment you're giving it away for free on tvnz why don't you do this is like you're moving over to sky tv where people have to pay for a subscription you know and you can do whatever you want on there there's all kinds of audiences you could have channels you could have a food channel yeah you can have one where you eat you could have one where you nap
Starting point is 01:17:23 i could do the steak challenge again yeah you could do one where you eat. You could have one where you nip. I could do the steak challenge again. Yeah, you could do them. Yeah, big eating challenges. What would you do? People aren't understanding what I've got to offer. No, I think they are. No, no. You could do like 24 hours of streaming of the tiniest nipples in the world.
Starting point is 01:17:38 I would tune in for that. I think you would get lots of viewers for that. Because when you told me that your nipples were small, I expected small, I didn't expect that small. You know, you're the second person today to roast me for my nipples. Who was the first? My wife! What'd she say?
Starting point is 01:17:57 I was getting changed and she said, oh, you're looking thin at the moment. And I said, thanks. I'll build the body that you want. What would you like this man to look like? She goes, can you increase your nipple size? Anyway, just kidding. I don't think you should actually go and do adult videos. It's just an idea. You know, just an idea.
Starting point is 01:18:13 No idea is a bad idea in a brainstorm. No, I feel like I'm done with that world. Bree and Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio. This is The Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean, a lot of these stories floating around at the moment
Starting point is 01:18:31 about Ellen not being very nice, and there's yet another one. Yes, another one has come forward over the weekend. Okay, this is a bit of a stretch if you ask me, but a bodyguard that was her personal bodyguard, Ellen's bodyguard, when she hosted the 2014 Oscars, okay, so quite a while ago, has come out saying that she was rude and wouldn't even look him in the face and didn't even say his name or even say hello when he first met her. So if you've been playing along, you would have heard lots of different people coming forward at the moment, slamming Ellen, saying she's not that nice in person. I have a personal story about this. One of my very good friends.
Starting point is 01:19:07 Oh, I know. This is going to be edgy, but I want to explain it. One of my friends used to do her hair, okay, and said to me that when he would go in and do her hair, she would not even acknowledge him. And she'd just look at her phone. But I just want to say this. Imagine if you're Ellen and you have to be so on and you're sitting there
Starting point is 01:19:26 and it's 8 a.m. and you're doing your emails. I don't know. I just think we should all give her a bit of a break. She doesn't have to be on for everyone. She doesn't have to be best friends with her bodyguard from the Oscars who she'll never, ever see again. I think the hairdresser not acknowledging them is a little bit rude. But I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:41 I think we should give her the benefit of the doubt. She does so much good in the world that I don't know. You're saying because she's a monster. You're saying because she's so relentlessly positive on her TV show that she has to save it. She has to save it for there and everyone else just gets the off cuts, the shittest Ellen
Starting point is 01:19:55 that they can find. The shit version. No, I do get what you're saying, Dean, because imagine exerting so much and giving so much of your energy to literally everyone. But this bodyguard story, this is what I think about, right? It would have been one of the most stressful, busiest nights
Starting point is 01:20:12 she's ever had. I mean, I'm going to cut her a break on that one. You'll give her a pass? Yeah, I'll give her a pass on that. And do we know if the bodyguard has been paid for his story? Is this people at the Kelly Clarkson show who are looking to take down the Ellen DeGeneres show?
Starting point is 01:20:28 They're like, we've got to dig some more dirt on Ellen. Get her bodyguard from 2014 and pay him to say that she's a dick. Yeah, is he getting paid? Probably. I don't know. He must have. Well, maybe actually when you're a bodyguard, I don't think you would need to sign an NDA for something like a one night thing.
Starting point is 01:20:44 But just like you said, imagine you're a bodyguard, I don't think you would need to sign an NDA for something like a one-night thing. But just like you said, imagine you're about to host the Oscars. Imagine how nerve-wracking you're about to be scrutinised by 50 million people around the world. I think we should cut Ellen a break on this. I really do. Yeah, because I think about myself in the last six weeks of lockdown. Don't talk to my flatmates because they wouldn't give me good reviews either. That's Dean McCarthy.
