Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast.
Story, I think I might have told you, but there's been an update on this.
You know my mum's dog?
Yeah.
Max.
No, I don't know your mum's dog.
Right, so my mum has this-
I only know the cat that went away and came back.
The Christmas miracle.
Yeah, so this is a similar story.
So my mum's dog, Max, it's a Maltese Cross Shih Tzu, a Malt Shih.
Yeah. I saw when I was away, I was on Facebook and my sister posted a thing on Facebook saying
that he had gone missing, which is really sad because I really love that dog and I like
it because it's a good bit of company for my mum.
How does a dog go missing?
So he is the type of dog.
On a rural property.
He is incredible right so if my mum
goes away for the day like if she goes into town because my dad's off working so he's not at home
yeah if my mum leaves and goes away for more than a couple of hours he gets the shits and he leaves
right to try and find her do you think yeah it's either to try and find her or it's to try and find her, do you think? Yeah, it's either to try and find her or it's to try and find company
because he just loves people so much.
And he goes off and he wanders and he goes on these adventures by himself.
Anyway, it's happened a few times before, but he always comes back.
Even like a day later, he'll come back.
Are dogs just allowed to roam in Queensland?
We live in the country, mate.
I know, that's even worse.
He's microchipped.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But if like, I guess the SPCA guy's not going to be driving down the road in country Queensland.
Like, let me just picture our house doesn't have a picket fence around it.
No, I didn't imagine that it did.
But still, I think you'd have to keep your dolls contained.
But that's fine.
No, we don't.
Anyway, he went missing for two days.
And I...
I would shit myself if any of my animals went missing for two days.
Horrible.
And you think the worst.
You're like, oh, he's obviously been hit by a car.
My cat didn't come home until midnight one night.
And Lucy and I both looked at each other and went, well, she's dead.
Not in a nice way.
And we're like, it's time to come to terms with it.
She's dead.
Let's plan a cat funeral.
Yeah.
And it was midnight?
Yeah.
The cat was under the house.
Oh, my God.
Anyway, Max went missing for two days, and he's been found.
Guess where he was?
The pub.
So we live 15 kilometers outside of town.
Takes about 15 minutes to drive into town.
Yeah.
He was found at a house in the town.
So how far away would that be?
15km did you say?
15km.
Wow.
In two days?
In two days!
What was he doing at a house?
Apparently he was like hanging out with people
and they took him to the pound and he...
And they scanned him.
Yeah.
Does your mum have the tag with the phone number on it?
So yes, we do, but then he takes the collar off.
This is a smart dog.
Oh, mate, he...
This dog wants to get away.
He goes...
Is your mum holding this dog against its will?
I think so.
Because this dog sounds like a captive.
You know when you hear about those stories
where people have been locked in basements for years
and they escape and they're like,
help me!
And then that person returns them to the captive
and they're like, oh, thank you, you found my daughter.
Yes, my daughter.
Yes, that's my daughter.
If the dog needs help, bark twice.
Bark twice.
This is the same dog at Christmas time that got diarrhoea
and did heaps of shits through the lounge room.
Oh, right.
Another story you didn't tell us.
And my mum, I think it was on my Instagram, I was just videoing it
because I was just dying of laughter.
I was like, mum, you need to come get this dog.
She's picked him up.
And as she's picked him up, he was still doing poos.
Yeah, that's the shipment of the malt shit.
Right.
What's the dog's name?
Max.
Welcome home, Max.
Yeah.
Good to have you back.
And I know you're an avid podcast listener, so the story was just for you.
Here is today's podcast, everybody.
Enjoy. listener so the story was just for you um here is today's podcast everybody enjoy
good everybody brie and clint uh welcome to the big day big day today this is a big day for the
show but mainly a big day for all braggers out there. Yeah. Records
may tumble today.
Claims may be verified
or hearts may be broken
as producer Ben
attempts to put his money where his
mouth is by taking on Liam
Malone, the Paralympic champion
in a 100 metre sprinting competition.
Producer Ben always
claims to be the fastest on our show,
and he thinks he's in with the shot.
I feel pretty good.
We've already been to the racetrack.
Yeah, been there, done that.
We've been at AUT Millennium this morning.
The race is done.
Liam was there, and he will join us on the show at 5.30 today
where times will be revealed.
Currently, Ben doesn't know Liam's time,
and Liam doesn't know Ben's time.
So we'll see.
We'll see.
This is very official too.
I was even more nervous once I got down there
because they had the starting gate.
Everything was ready to go.
There was finished cameras.
There was actual official timers.
There's no disputing this one.
It was run on a real track under controlled conditions.
So, yeah, that's going to be really interesting.
I mean, I don't think you stand a chance whatsoever,
but I'm really interested to see what time you do.
Do we want to talk about that it was maybe too hot?
What? The temperature was too hot?
All right, relax, mate, relax.
The excuses are coming in already.
Also on the show today,
your chance to go see Taylor Swift at Wango Tango in LA.
Yeah, there's going to be an activator just before 4 o'clock.
Yes, ZM's World Tour.
There's another chance for that.
And also, you can win tickets to Khalid.
Yes, that's at 5 o'clock.
Lots coming up today.
Next, though, we want to talk weird parenting techniques.
Maybe you have something from your childhood that it wasn't until you left home that you went,
actually, I don't think that's in the manual.
I'm not sure that's Plunkett Nurse endorsed.
I'm not sure when I become a parent if I'll be doing that with my kid.
I overheard a conversation out in
the ZM office today with one of our
staff members about something their parents
did to them to get rid of nits when
they were a kid. And I just want to know if this is
even legal, this thing that this mum has been doing.
Yeah, what are the things your parents just
came up with on the spot?
We'll talk about them next. This is the Chainsmokers
in Five Sauce. Who do you love? Brie and Clint.
ZM.
ZM's Brie and Clint.
The podcast. Welcome to the studio
fellow ZM-er. Jordan.
Hi. Hello guys. Hello gourds.
I overheard an interesting conversation regarding
your childhood out in the office yesterday.
Yeah. My mum is going to
kill me for telling this story.
Yeah but is she listening? Probably.
Yeah. That's fine. Cool.
Yeah.
So, okay.
When I was 10, I remember like, okay, so I got head lice.
Yeah.
I feel like that's quite old.
Pretty standard thing in primary school.
And you know what they say, lice prefer clean hair.
So it's more of a compliment than anything.
That's what they say to make you feel better about it.
Shh, don't.
Yeah.
But I had head lice and I knew I did.
Yeah.
Because like, you know, I could just tell. And Shh, don't. Yeah. But I had head lice and I knew I did because,
like, you know,
I could just tell
and my mum didn't believe me
and I was like,
mum, no,
I definitely have head lice
and she was like,
no, you don't.
She took me to the hairdresser
and she was friends
with the hairdresser
and so usually
they're not supposed
to cut your hair
when you've got head lice
but because her mum
were friends,
she was like,
I'll use all old equipment
and then chuck it out.
Okay.
So she cut my hair.
What, did you desperately need a haircut or something?
I think mum thought that was going to fix the problem.
So she went to take me to get my hair cut.
Obviously that wouldn't get rid of the nits.
No.
So the hairdresser was like, okay.
Is anyone else's hair itchy?
I know and I'm wearing these headphones and I'm like,
I don't know whose headphones these are.
Mine are really itchy.
Yeah, so the hairdresser was like to my mum, okay, look, I don't know how legit this is,
but I've heard that if you put kerosene in the hair, it gets rid of the nits.
I see.
And I don't even know what kerosene is.
I still don't know what it is, but I know it's not for your hair.
No.
So we get home and mum takes me to the laundry where there's like the sink and the laundry next to the washing machine and she holds me over the washing machine.
She doused your hair in kerosene.
She doused my hair in kerosene and I'm going,
mum, this stings, this stings.
And she's going, hold down.
I love you, it's for your own good.
But it got rid of the nits.
Yeah.
So it worked.
So would an open flame.
There are multiple very extreme methods of getting rid the nits. Yeah. So it worked. So would an open flame. And also there are multiple
very extreme methods
of getting rid of nits.
Whether it's the best one to do
we don't know.
Got rid of the nits
and your scalp.
Yeah.
What if you'd like
what if you'd gone near
an open flame after that?
You know?
Like you would have gone up
you would have been like
a human torch.
I'm actually bald now.
When Clint told me this earlier
he was like
I can't believe this story
and I was like
no I've heard that before.
Yeah, and I think other people in the office,
it's happened to them as well.
Really?
Washed their hair with kerosene?
Yeah, but she didn't like wet my hair first
and then like shampoo it.
She literally just held me over the sink
and tipped a bottle of kerosene over my head.
Kerosene is like petrol.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, it's like a spirit.
I googled it and it's a lamp oil.
Oh, yeah.
Kind of in the same family. It's fuel. It stinks. Yeah. Oh, it's like a spirit. I Googled it and it's a lamp oil. Oh, yeah. Kind of in the same family.
It's fuel.
It stinks.
Yeah.
Oh, it was so stingy.
To me, it sounds like a very questionable parenting technique.
Right?
Sorry, Mum.
I mean, I love that your mum just heard it from someone and goes,
oh, yeah, I'll give it a go.
Straight away.
That'll do.
Straight away.
But you do what you do, right?
And our parents probably did.
They didn't have Google when we were kids, did they?
No.
So they had to go off old wives tales.
Had to make it up.
Yeah.
Home remedies, that kind of thing.
Yeah.
We want to know this afternoon on 0800 dial ZM,
what's the questionable parenting technique that your parents used on you?
Maybe something you look back on now and go, is that all right?
Is that legit?
Is that legit?
Do I have a case against you, mum?
0800 dial ZM.
You can also text us your parents' questionable parenting technique on 9696.
We'll put a list together next.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
We're asking for your questionable parenting techniques this afternoon.
What did your parents do when you were a kid that now you look back and go,
um, is that plunket endorsed?
Was that legit? Did you get this from a kid that now you look back and go, um, is that plunket endorsed?
Was that legit?
Did you get this from a doctor or did you make it up?
We just talked to Jordan from ZM, whose mum washed her knits out with kerosene.
Apparently that's a thing.
That's all we're hearing.
A lot of people on the text machine said, yep, did it.
Yeah, but what about those like Robicome things that you can get in like knit shampoo?
Like I get it if it was like a turn of the century and all we had was
lamp oil. Well, that's probably what
they used back in the day. Do your parents
have one? Did your parents have a questionable parenting
technique that they used on you?
My mum used to put poultices on us.
What's a poultice? It was weird.
She used to boil the jug
and make real hot water and then get a
piece of bread. Yeah. And then she'd put the jug and make real hot water and then get a piece of bread. Yeah.
And then she'd put the bread in the boiling hot water
and then she'd put the boiling hot water bread on a wound
and then wrap it.
What the?
It was weird.
Okay, but did it work?
Yeah.
Okay, then that's fine, I guess.
Strange, though.
Oh, $800 at him.
Hayley, welcome to the show.
Hey, thanks for having me.
Hayley, what's your weird parenting technique?
So, I feel a bit bad saying it on the radio, but my mum was super OCD.
She just, like, loved everything super clean, like clinical clean.
And so, as a kid, she would spike our baths with genola, like bleach.
Oh, my God.
Bleach.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God. Like, did Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God.
Are you, like, did it burn your skin?
Are you okay?
Yeah, perfectly fine. Like, it wasn't heat, but it was enough for it to, like, smell like
a pool in our bathroom.
I do remember, like,
it stinging quite a bit. Yeah.
I can just imagine your mum being like,
oh, I love the smell of clean laundry.
Also, bleach kids
My auntie told me when I was a kid
that because I had quite bad pimples
and she told me that if, you know Dettol
you know Dettol hand soap
she told me if I put Dettol hand soap
on my face and left it there
overnight it would dry up the pimples
and it did
but all the skin on my face peeled off
That's like the toothpaste thing too People saying toothpaste with pimples That it did but all the skin on my face peeled off. That's like the toothpaste
thing too. People saying toothpaste
with pimples? That doesn't work, eh?
I don't know. Hi Heidi.
Hi. What's your questionable
parenting technique?
So my mum used
to, every time we had a cold,
she'd put Vicks on our chest and feet
and all the normal places but she'd also put
it on the roof of our mouth.
Oh!
What?
Yeah, and when my daughter was a baby,
I took her to the doctor and she had a cold and he's like,
you know, just use Vicks on her chest or whatever.
And I was like, what about the roof of her mouth?
And he's like, yeah, if you want to kill her.
Oh, my God.
And you're like, I don't believe in that.
It's just what my mum used on me.
I'm so sorry. Yeah, yeah. I'm not a bad parent. And I was like, I don't believe in that. It's just what my mum used on me. I'm so sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not a bad parent.
And I was like, my mum used to do it.
And he was like, do not do that.
Please don't do that to the baby.
He gets drunk.
Last one is Nicola.
Hey, Nicola.
Hey.
What did your parents used to do?
What's your questionable parenting technique?
Well, when I first got my period,
I used to really, really struggle with the pain.
And so we're talking sort of 13, 14.
My mum would give me a shot of gin.
Wow.
Oh, I wish I had your mum.
What age?
Yeah, that's around sort of 13, 14-ish.
She sort of started doing that.
And it's been too quick.
And I don't know whether I was just out to it
with the alcohol or what it was. Can you imagine? I can just picture you, Nicola. It's been too big and I don't know whether I was just out to it with the alcohol or whatever.
Can you imagine?
I can just picture you, Nicola.
It's Saturday night.
You're just about to go to a party.
You're like, oh, period pain, Mum.
I got the pain.
She's like, didn't you have your period last weekend?
Yeah, it's real strong.
Get back.
Get the gin.
Get the gin, Mum.
Get the gin.
ZDM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Live from Hollywood with our man on the ground, Dean McCarthy.
Spy.co.nz.
Dean, is it true? Could Kim Kardashian be the next big thing in law?
Yes, absolutely.
I couldn't have put it better myself.
Let me tell you what she's done recently,
which we didn't even really know about.
We did know that she had a woman freed from jail who was serving a life sentence for a
crime.
Kim helped, actually got presidential pardon, which is intense, right?
She met with Donald Trump.
Since then, 17 people, she's had 17 people released from jail from their extreme sentences.
And now, I shouldn't laugh, but it's a little bit funny.
Now thousands of people in jail are writing to her,
writing her letters to get their,
they're like, now they all want to get out.
What's her deal?
Get all these letters bombarded.
What's her deal?
Is she about wrongful convictions
or does she find people whose sentences were too heavy?
What sort of people is she helping?
The latter, yes, exactly that.
So basically the first person she had freed dealt drugs or something when she was 18 and she was given a life sentence.
So Kim is looking for people who were given extreme sentences in comparison to their crime.
So she's not getting murderers out or anything like that.
She's looking for people who have been given extreme sentences.
Just over the top sentences right there. Whether you like Kim Kardashian or the Kardashians in general or not,
you can't deny that she is an interesting person.
If you'd asked me three years ago,
what's the next thing she's going to do,
I would have said, I don't know, G-strings.
But now she's doing legal cases.
Now she's getting presidential pardons from people.
She is a fascinating person and they are a fascinating family.
Very interesting.
I just watched the episode of the Kardashians
where she is actually
studying law
and she says on the show,
she's like,
I picture,
you know,
in 10 years
when I stop being Kim K,
I just want to do law
and help these people.
Well,
this is in her family, right?
Her dad was a lawyer.
Yes.
Also, Dean,
you've got details
on what could be
the Devil Wears Prada 2
in the making.
Okay, so here's the thing.
This could be a story or it could absolutely be nothing.
I could get a pay rise or I could get fired.
Here's the deal, right?
So this morning, Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue magazine,
was seen having a meeting with Meryl Streep,
who, of course, played her in the Devil Wears Prada, right?
Now, the rumour on the street is that they are in talks
for a Devil Wears Prada number two.
Now, if you watch the film, like all of us,
there's room for it, right?
Like, there's so many storylines that could come off.
There really is space for this film, right?
But is it happening?
We're not really sure.
It's a big rumour right now.
But they were caught catching up.
Or, alternatively, they just had a coffee and there's nothing.
Can you imagine?
That's alternatively. I would be coffee and there's nothing. Can you imagine? I would be
living for Devil Wears Prada
too. Can you imagine meeting the person
who played you in a movie? Like imagine being
that big a deal. Who would play you in a movie, Brie?
Probably Rebel Wilson.
Who would
play you? Dean, who would play you?
Ellen DeGeneres.
I get it all the time.
Yeah, I can see that
yep good

yesterday
a
not a fight but a debate broke out on the show
and then spilled over into the listeners as well.
It went nationwide.
The debate was sparkling water or regular water.
Well, my debate was, is sparkling water crap?
No.
See, you're coming too hot with that opinion.
No, but I honestly think it.
It is such a crappy product.
Why?
Okay, I haven't even heard you out about why you hate it so much.
Why do you think it's so crap?
It's just water made fizzy.
Yeah, but it makes it fizzy, which fine, whatever.
But it makes it taste terrible.
It tastes like water.
I love delicious water that keeps me alive.
I don't want someone making it taste like TV static.
And I love it when it has a bit of fizz to it.
Do you just like it?
Do you just like it?
Yeah.
Because SodaStream has made sparkling water trendy.
You've been marketed.
No, I don't.
No.
I got into SodaStream.
It sounds like I'm lying.
No, I got into sparkling water because I found it was really good for a hangover.
Listen to you. I got into sparkling water. I found it was really good for a hangover. Listen to you.
I got into sparkling water.
No, and the Kiwi Blue stuff is good,
but every time you buy one of those, you're buying a plastic bottle.
So we've got a SodaStream machine.
Sparkling water is terrible.
It doesn't provide anything better than what normal water is.
No, except taste, except that it's more fun to drink.
It tastes terrible.
It makes me drink more water and other people.
It makes other people drink more water too.
You start throwing out some bold claims yesterday.
I said.
Which the SodaStream company may sue you for yet.
Well, I said, no, someone on the text machine said
they heard that sparkling water isn't very good for your teeth.
And that's where I think you're going into pseudoscience.
I don't think you know what you're talking about there.
So today.
But I do get where they're coming from. Today we're going into pseudoscience. I don't think you know what you're talking about there. So today- But I do get where they're coming from.
Today we're going to call a dentist
and find out once and for all if that's true,
if sparkling water is actually bad for you,
for your teeth at least anyway.
Yep.
No, I want to find out.
I actually have a dentist that's a good mate of mine.
Where I used to live on the Central Coast in Australia,
I used to work for a radio station there called CFM
and Kyle was my dentist at Riverside Dental Spa.
Not only was it a dentist, it was also a spa.
Yeah, sounds very bougie.
Bree said you could get a facial while you got a felling.
It's very good.
Kyle, he'll know the answer.
Let's give him a call.
Hello, Kyle speaking.
Kyle, it's Bree from CFM.
How are you?
Good, how are you?
Very well.
Are you from CFM?
Yeah.
Or ex-of-CFM.
Long time no speak.
I used to work at CFM.
Hey, Kyle, I needed a quick question.
I said, oh, who do I know that's a brilliant dentist?
And then I thought of you.
We had a real quick question about sparkling water.
Yes.
Is sparkling water bad for your teeth?
The sparkling is due to carbonation as a general rule,
which means that there's a little bit of carbonic acid in it.
So it's not great for your teeth, but don't swish it and swill it.
It should be fine.
Right.
But if you had to pick what was best for your teeth,
normal water would be the pick.
I would say normal water with fluoride in it.
But if you find normal water quite boring and you have a soda stream machine,
so you're making your own. Is that cool?
Does SodaStream work with nitrous gas or carbon dioxide?
I couldn't tell you.
I just pushed the button and the bubbles go in.
If it's carbon dioxide, you get carbonic acid, which is bad.
But if it's nitrous gas, it's kind of like the bubbles in Guinness,
and it's not so bad.
I'll just reframe the question one more time.
Is Guinness good for your teeth?
Well, funnily enough, I think beer in general does contain fluoride.
That's all the encouragement I need.
I told you he was the best dentist ever.
Yeah, I was going to say, that is all the encouragement Kiwis need to hear.
Thanks so much.
ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast.
You know you're a boss dog
when you can release
a schedule of movies
like a mile long
that are going to come out
over the next eight years.
That's what Disney have done.
Disney,
now the biggest movie company
in the world.
They're huge.
Did you know they bought Fox
and that's how they got
all those things?
They spent like
$70 billion buying them.
So that's when they got like,
they took over Marvel. Yeah.
Yeah. And Star Wars. And Star Wars
and yeah, the rest of it. All of those things.
So they've come out and said what they're going to be
releasing. There's some really interesting things here. And this
is cool for fans too. Things you can get excited about
over the next wee while. Because just off the top of
my head, I am super
excited about just this year.
Yes. Aladdin. Aladdin.
Yes. It comes out very soon.
Are you excited about the trailers?
Does it look as good as you want it to?
I think it looks good.
Yeah.
And, I mean, I love Will Smith, who's playing the genie.
Yes.
So that's exciting.
Yeah.
And the other massive juggernaut film from Disney this year, Lion King.
Yeah, huge.
My, my, my.
My, my, my. Lion King. Lion King. And that is going to be huge.
That one to me looks fantastic.
It looks really good.
Yeah.
So that's just this year.
Do you want to hear what they've got in store for the next eight years?
Would love to.
So I was of the impression that with Avengers Endgame, that was it.
Over the next three and a half years,
they'll release eight more Marvel stories to do with that. Endgame, that was it. Over the next three and a half years,
they'll release eight more Marvel stories to do with that.
So other characters in the Marvel universe.
But not intertwined into that one?
No, still intertwined.
So the trailer's out now for new Spider-Man.
And by the way, don't watch the trailer for the new Spider-Man movie if you haven't seen Endgame yet.
Because there's a very, very big spoiler in there.
Oh, that's kind of crappy from them.
Nah, in the trailer, they've got Spider-Man at the start saying,
hey, don't watch this if you haven't seen Endgame yet.
Oh, okay, well, that's all right then.
But at the same time also, go and see Endgame.
Yeah, go see it.
There has to be a shelf life for spoilers.
Like last night I went to a comedy show and someone ruined the end of A Star Is Born.
But surely it's my fault now.
Yeah, what's the time limit for a spoiler?
What's the time frame for a spoiler?
Like, remember when we talked about the OC and I think I said something
and someone goes, oh, thanks for ruining it for me?
Yes, that's right.
You said how the OC ends.
Yeah.
And didn't we say who Gossip Girl was once?
And they're like, oh, thanks a lot.
You've ruined Gossip Girl for me.
You're like, hmm.
This is one you'll be excited about.
They've just announced that
aside from the Rise of Skywalker
movie that's
coming out this year, there is going to be three more
Star Wars movies.
Because I know how much you love Star Wars.
Producer Ellie loves them more
than me. For you it goes
Star Wars, Big Bang
Theory,
and then I think The Royal Baby.
Those are your three favourite things.
So there'll be a new Star Wars trilogy that will be released in 2022,
2024, and 2026 for Star Wars.
It's a big deal for a lot of people, Brie.
I'll pencil them in.
Steven Spielberg is doing a West Side Story.
They're doing a Cruella de Vil origin story. 101 Dalmatians. Yeah.
And Emma Stone is going to play Cruella
de Vil. Oh yes. Then of course you've said
Aladdin, Lion King,
Toy Story 4 is coming
as well.
Is there Little Mermaid?
There's no word about Little
Mermaid. There probably
will be. The way they're going with remaking every movie from that era,
there probably will be.
But the really interesting one is they've made an announcement
about Avatar 2.
Yeah, I heard about this.
So how long have we been waiting for Avatar 2?
God, don't tell my mum.
She'll lose it.
Is she still waiting for it?
Because I'm not waiting for it anymore.
I've given up.
How could they top the first one?
They've delayed it.
So the first one came out in 2009.
The second one was meant to come out in 2020.
And they've said it won't come out until 2021 now, Avatar 2.
And then they've said the rest of the Avatar movies
will come out 23, 25 and 27.
No, they won't. They'll come out 23, 25 and 27. No, they won't.
They'll come out 30, 45 and like 2079 or something like that.
And in between, there'll be movies made about why they couldn't come out earlier.
By then, we will literally be living on another planet with Avatars.
We'll be like, is this a documentary?
It's a documentary.
I think this is a documentary.
There you go.
There's some movies you can get excited about soon. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. There's a US woman's essay that's
going viral on Twitter at the moment. It contains 19 words. Yeah, I've seen this. So this is the
story. She was meant to write an essay about a movie that she had seen. Yeah.
That's pretty much all the information that has been given about what the actual task was.
Yeah.
How many words was the essay supposed to be?
I don't know.
It doesn't say.
Because what's the rule with essays?
If you have to write a 3,000-word essay,
is that a minimum or a maximum?
Usually you have to write it either side,
usually a couple of hundred words either side of that number.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, so around that number.
And she's gone 19.
She's gone 19 words, which I'm assuming it wasn't meant to be 20 words long.
And this is what she decided to write her essay about the movie Fight Club.
Oh, starring Brad Pitt.
Starring Brad Pitt.
Great movie.
Famous film.
It's got meatloaf in it.
Does it?
Yeah.
The guy with the big boobies.
Did you see that he broke his collarbone?
He fell over on stage.
Yeah.
Not funny, but yeah.
He's a big dude, so it doesn't surprise me.
I promised my wife that we would see, in my wedding vows,
I promised my wife that we would see meatloaf live in concert.
Yeah, after that accident, I'm thinking we better start booking some flights.
Anyway, do you want me to read the essay?
It's not going to take me long.
The whole essay?
The 19-word essay?
This is what she wrote and she received top marks.
Okay, in 19 words.
From her university professor.
Yeah.
So it's about Fight Club and she wrote,
The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club.
That's it.
That's the essay.
I see what she's done.
I see what she's done there.
However, if you were truly respecting the rules of Fight Club,
you wouldn't have written an essay about Fight Club
because I'm pretty sure the second rule of Fight Club is don't write essays about Fight Club.
Because then people will be like, what's Fight Club?
Even if there are only 19 words.
Yes, it's clever-ish, but you can't go around rewarding this kind of stuff.
I need to ask you, like, if you're at university and you found this out,
that someone in your class had done this.
I'd be pissed.
I'd be so annoyed.
If I'd studied, like, I wouldn't even be able to get past the bit
where I was like, oh, yeah, you really snookered them there.
Well done.
That's clever.
I'd be pissed off.
I'd be like, I had to memorise a stupid full essay
and you basically submitted a meme.
You know?
Literally, I would have just been angry that I hadn't thought of it.
Yeah, there's that.
No, no, no.
My reaction is purely rooted in jealousy as well. I just can
acknowledge that. You and I were then
talking about, obviously, is that
cheating? What this
person has done? Technically, no. If they pass
her, then no, it's not cheating. It's not cheating.
No. Is cheating
a victimless crime?
Like in terms of
this. Like if you cheat at
school, is that a victimless crime?
I love the comment producer Ellie made when we were having this conversation.
What did you say, Ellie?
We were like, is it a victimless crime if you cheat at primary school or high school?
I sound like such a geek now, but I said you're the true victim
because you're not learning.
Today's a big day though.
Big day where records could fall.
A superb demonstration of power sprinting.
Oh, he's changed his title in the most emphatic way.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Usain Ben.
He's the fastest man on the planet. Usain Ben is our producer, brilliant. Usain Ben. He's the fastest man on the planet.
Usain Ben is our producer, Ben, who claims to be fast.
I'm really fast.
Mate, I'm really fast.
Mate, I could beat Usain Bolt with a running start over 40 metres.
I'm faster than him over 40 metres if I get a five-metre head start.
I'm fast.
Yeah.
Today you get the chance to prove it.
We took you to the track where you raced Liam Malone's Paralympic title.
World record, yeah.
The figure that he got at the Paralympics over the 100 metre.
You ran last week in, you know, not very good conditions.
Bit of grass, bit of wet, it was a bit muddy.
We stepped out the 100 metres.
Yeah, that was just me doing 100 paces in turn.
Yeah, so look, you said, nah, this isn't good enough.
I want a redo.
God, did we do a redo.
Mate, we did it well today.
So today at AUT Millennium, you have the proper track.
You have the official timekeepers.
You have the race camera.
You have Bree with the actual starter's gun.
Everything is there for you to put in the best effort that you can.
The thing that you're chasing is imaginary to you.
You don't actually know what Liam Malone's time is.
And I think that's an advantage.
Yeah, and I was saying to Brie on the way home,
the other challenges, I'm running on my own.
There's no one there to pace me.
I'm just going.
No one pushing you.
I'm hearing a lot of excuses.
There's no pushing.
No, it's fine.
I feel comfortable with it.
I ran hard.
We're going to get Liam on the show at about 5.30 this afternoon,
and we're going to reveal Ben's time and the whole race live on here then.
Last week you raced a 13.8.
I'm looking for a 12 from you today.
What, flat?
In the 12s.
In the 12s.
In the 12s.
I'd be impressed.
We're going to give you Liam's time now.
Oh, are you?
Yeah, we're going to let you know what Liam's official time is,
the time you were chasing.
Because I asked him at the track.
When you were there, I said, Liam, just between you and me,
what's your actual time over the 100 metres?
So Paralympic champion Liam Malone, his 100 metre time is this.
Just between you and me, what is your time?
10.9,
I think,
was what I did
at the Paralympics.
F***.
Okay.
But if he does,
if he gets under 12,
if he gets under 12,
then he's a natural talent.
If he gets under 12,
Whoa.
Yeah.
Also, 10.9.
Can I be honest?
Yeah.
It's not as fast
as I thought it would be.
Oh, see,
come off it.
Come off it.
And this is what we talk about
how he loves to talk it up. I'm not going to get there, but it's not, I thought it was. He's got a medal, mate. Come off it. And this is what we talk about now. He loves to talk it up.
I'm not going to get there, but it's not.
I thought it was.
He's got a middle, mate.
I know.
He's got a middle.
Mate, you ran a 13.8 and you've got both legs.
True.
One hour and you will find out how Ben went or Usain Ben,
as we're calling him.
But before that, we wanted to ask you, do you have a record?
Have you got a record that you hold at the moment
or have you held a record before that you want to share with us?
Yeah, we want to hear from the people who, you know,
maybe back in primary school they set a record and it's still there.
Maybe at university.
Maybe you went into Dunedin and you've got the UCO record
for most pancakes eaten in one sitting.
Love it.
Do you have a claim to fame?
What's your record that you can share with us?
It could be just a record
that you set at your flat.
Yep. My old man's got a
KFC record. 23 pieces
in one sitting. That's good. How long was
the sitting? I don't know.
Two days.
Just like dinner time.
Oh right, you want to race my dad as well?
Yeah.
0800
dial ZM. What's your record as well? Yeah. 0800. Bring it on.
0800 dial ZM.
What's your record, New Zealand?
You can text us.
On 9696 as well.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Big day on the Bree and Clint show today.
One member of our team has the chance to make history. Producer Ben is taking on Liam Malone's 100 metre records of 10.9 seconds.
He's talked a big, big game.
He loves to brag about his skills.
Yep.
And finally, we've put that skill to the test.
Liam Malone has said, well, if he can't beat a man with no legs, then how good is he?
Which is hilarious, but also only a joke that Liam can make in this situation. You can
find out how he goes at 5.35
this afternoon, but before then,
have you got a record? We want to know this afternoon
on 0800 Dial ZM. Doesn't have
to be a sporting record. It can be any
type of record we'll take this afternoon.
Let's go straight in. Mason is here. Hi,
Mason. Hi, Mason.
Going well. What's your record, mate?
Oh, my record's in eating pies. Oh, yeah. How you doing? Going well. What's your record, mate? Oh, my record's in eating pies.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love to slam a pie.
What's the record, Mason?
My record for eating pies is 14 without spewing.
You are joking.
You are joking.
You're a Kiwi legend.
No, 17 with a spew.
What's the filling?
What's the filling?
I had mince, I had chicken, and it all came back up at the end.
Right, okay.
He doesn't discriminate.
And was there a particular brand of pie that you took?
Because I know Irvine's is a much thinner pie than a Big Ben, you know,
so is that relevant?
I'm not sure, mate, but they were cheap,
but they were there for the thousands.
It was an Easter camp.
They just bring out a couple thousand pies and everyone just goes.
I wish I had been there to see that.
That would have been history.
Call Friday Pino, mate.
16 with a spew.
It's very good.
Hi, Eric.
The bar is very high,
but we want to know what your record is this afternoon.
My record is I ate nine racks of ribs
at Apothecary Cafe in Howick,
and I still hold the record for that.
Three and a half hours of eating.
Did you get on the wall?
I'm on their Facebook page.
So if you go on their Facebook, I still hold the record.
I'm there, nine racks.
And how many days were you sick for after that?
I was good to go.
All good.
Next day, carrying on.
But the kicker is my daughter, who's 10.
She did four reps.
Oh, my God.
It's a proud family tradition.
I was about to ask you why you did that,
but I'm not going to bother, I don't think.
They're still coming in.
Victoria, welcome to the show.
Hi, how are you doing, guys?
Victoria, we're interested.
What record do you hold?
So I set this record myself, personal record.
I ate 17 sushi plates at a sushi train.
You ate 17 sushi plates?
Yeah.
I was on a first date, so I was trying to be really impressed and nervous
by just stuffing my face.
Victoria, what made you do that on a first date?
I suppose when there was a, you know, silence and I just grabbed a plate
and put sushi in my mouth.
You can't be expected to talk in that conversation then.
Was there a second date?
There was many dates.
We actually ended up getting married eight years later.
Yeah, I was going to say, to be honest,
if a girl ate 17 plates of sushi on her first date with me,
I would marry her.
I think I would.
That is marriage material.
Well done, Victoria.
You sound like the last stop on the sushi train.
Like it all just came to you and went straight into your mouth.
Before we go to Tim, are there any you want to share there?
There's a few good ones on the text.
Someone said, I drank two litres of chocolate milk in 57 seconds.
Yeah, wow.
That had to come up later on because it gets bigger in your stomach.
It expands when it's in your stomach.
What about, I ate eight barbecue bacon double cheeseburgers
at BK.
Kia kaha.
Well done.
That is genius.
Tim, last word goes to you.
What's your record?
Hey guys,
my record's actually,
I claim it on behalf of my brother,
but he got in the
Otago University newsletter
the most times naked.
No, that's good.
Get that man a medal.
That's good.
Hard record to break.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic. Not really.
Picking a movie based on just the plot line?
That she can do.
Brie and Clint's What The Plot.
She's good.
She's very good at this game.
It is 12 games to four.
About time the producers got a score line right.
We are heavily incentivising people to take you down.
This week with a pair of JBL Live headphones
with built-in voice assistant, Google Assistant or Alexa
are in there as well.
The first pair of headphones ever to have that.
The person who has a chance at the headphones
and the title is you, Ollie.
Hi.
Hello, Ollie.
Hey, how's it going?
Good.
I want to know if this is going to be an advantage for you.
Today, the theme is animated movies.
Right.
Oh, yes.
That will be an advantage for me for sure.
Okay, cool.
Glad to hear it.
All the movies today are animated.
You know the rules.
Your buzzer is your name.
It's best of three.
Don't wait for me to finish the plot line before you chime in and have a guess.
Here we go.
Okay.
Good luck, everybody.
And you need to be fast, Ollie.
Poe might be the craziest, laziest, clumsiest panda in three.
Kung Fu Panda.
Kung Fu Panda is correct.
Excellent.
I like to get one away early.
Movie number two.
20,000 years ago, Earth was a wondrous...
Bree.
Bree.
The Land Before Time.
The Land Before Time is incorrect.
Ollie. Ollie.
Ollie.
The Croods.
The Croods or The Croods.
I don't know what you said, but it is incorrect.
I love that movie.
I'll now continue, and you both still have the chance to answer.
20,000 years ago, Earth is a wondrous prehistoric world.
Bree.
Bree. Bree.
Good dinosaur.
Good dinosaur is incorrect.
Ollie, free guess.
Oh, um...
No, I got nothing.
Nothing? Okay, that's fine.
I'll continue.
A wondrous prehistoric world filled with great danger,
not the least of which is the beginning of the Ice Age.
Bree.
Bree.
I leave.
Ice Age. Ice Age is correct. Bree. I leave. Ice Age.
Ice Age is correct.
Let's go to the third one.
Let's go to the third one.
Ollie, you can't take the game, but you can take the headphones if you can get the third question, okay?
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
Oh, I want to make this cryptic, but I don't know if you've seen it or not.
Mm-hmm.
Elastigirl and her husband, Bree.
The Incredibles.
The Incredibles is absolutely correct.
Well done.
He sounds so defeated.
You want the headphones, don't you?
You can't give them.
He got pantsed.
Come on.
You can't give them to him.
You can't give them.
You can't.
Just so you know, Ollie, I think you should get the headphones.
Then why did you wipe the floor with them? Because I can't. Just so you know, Ollie, I think you should get the headphones. Then why did you wipe the floor with them?
Because I can't lose.
Ollie, you get the headphones just for playing, mate.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
No worries.
He sounds so disappointed, though, even though he won the headphones.
I feel like he knew that last one, so he just wasn't quite fast enough.
I think he knew the last two.
However, just let's be clear, a pair of these JBL headphones is better than winning What's The Plot.
Like, way better.
He seems so disappointed.
Such a cool competition.
Khalid is playing two shows now at Auckland Spark Arena.
First one sold out, so there's a second show on November 20.
You can get tickets right now
from Ticketmaster
and they are selling fast
or you win them for free from us.
Yeah, I'm guessing
you're going to get me
to give an example.
Oh, well, only if Lomax wants that.
Kia ora, Lomax.
Hey, Dan, how's it going?
Good, thank you.
Would it help you
if Bree gave this a go
before you did it?
That's what we've been doing this week.
This is a bit of an example.
Would you like her
to try it out first?
Sure thing. Okay, I thought so. Here this week. This is a bit of an example. Would you like her to try it out first? Sure thing.
Okay.
I thought so.
Here you go.
You just take the car lead.
Take over when these lyrics finish.
No, I've got to be confident.
Yeah, be confident.
Believe in yourself.
Okay, here you go.
Oh, no.
No, that's a big fat fail, my friend. No. We don't gotta hide
This is what I like
No, that's a big fat fail, my friend.
No.
What is it?
All you had to say was nothing feels better than this.
Is that what it is?
That's all you had to say.
You knew that though, eh, Lomax?
Absolutely.
Okay.
All right, Lomax, let's see how you go.
Here comes your car lead song.
Take the car lead when the lyrics stop.
It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it Here comes your Carlead song. Take the Carlead when the lyrics stop.
They'll do.
You're going to Carlead.
Congrats.
Thank you.
You're very, very welcome.
We have one more chance for you to win this tomorrow at 5 o'clock.
People have gone really well this week.
There's someone who's a part of this show that told us a story the other day and we just could not go past him sharing this with everyone.
Welcome to the show, our friend and Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.
Hello.
Hi, guys.
Hello, hello.
Now, you usually bring us the scandalous stories,
and all of a sudden, you are the scandalous story.
I am literally in the middle.
Well, I've just come off the wake of the scandal of my life.
So I was dating a guy for six months.
You guys met him.
He was over here.
We all had dinner.
Yeah, we had dinner together.
Lovely guy, good-looking dude, dressed really well. We dated for six months. You guys met him. He was over here. We all had dinner. Yeah, we had dinner together. Lovely guy, good looking dude,
dressed really well. We dated
for six months. Two weeks after I got
back to New Zealand, where you guys met him,
I found out he
had a second home
and a secret family.
This is like out of a movie, Dean.
Can you tell us how you
found out about your boyfriend's
double life?
So here's the thing, right?
A few months ago, one night he was at home and I was at my home
and he said he was getting a massage.
It's like a masseuse.
It's like an app and they send the masseuse to your house, right,
for his shoulder.
It's not like an Uber, but for masseuses.
For some reason, he screenshot the booking
and sent me a screenshot of the booking.
And the masseuse was like, oh, your masseuse will be there in 10 minutes. Here's your address. And I was like, wait up,
that's not your address. What is that address? But at the time he was like, oh, I must've put
in the wrong street name. It must've predicted the wrong street. Never really thought anything
of it. Then cut to me three months later, after we got back from New Zealand, he got home from
work really late one night, like 7am in the morning. And for some reason, I had a hunch and I decided to drive to the address of that place that he accidentally
texted me three months ago in the middle of the night, right? I get there, it's in the ghetto,
it's in the hood. There's all like wild dogs running around. There's like gunshots. There's
like bars on the windows. It's the full hood. I drive around the back of the house. For some
reason, I don't even know why I did that. I drive around the back of the house. There's like bars on the windows. It's the full hood. I drive around the back of the house. For some reason, I don't even know why I did that.
I drive around the back of the house.
There's his car.
I get out of my car, which is actually really dangerous because it's literally South Central
LA, right?
Like the ghetto.
So I drive.
I walk around the front.
There's his name on the letterbox.
I go to the door.
A woman answers.
And I'm like, hello.
She's like, who are you?
And I'm like, I'm here to see.
Won't say his name.
And she's like, who are you? And I'm like, I'm here to see. Won't say his name. And she's like, what do you want?
I'm like, well, his car's here
and his name's on the letterbox.
I need to see him.
And I'd like to speak to him.
And she's like, I don't know where he is.
I'm like, well, his car's out the back
and I know he stayed here last night.
And she basically slammed the door in my face.
We later have found out that that is his secret family.
And most recently, this is super twisted, my
friends did some digging, which I didn't do.
I don't have time to Google. I don't have time
for that stuff. I just don't. They found
out he has nine
children. Oh my
God. What?
I was a fabulous
hot stepmom for a few months
without even knowing it, apparently.
We found this story out a little
while ago, and we wanted to give it some time to
settle before we spoke to you about it, because that
is some full-on shit to have to learn.
Are you okay? So here's the thing.
I wasn't. I'm not going to
lie to you. I'm not going to try and be funny.
It was very traumatic, because it's sort of like
there's no way to comprehend it, guys.
You cannot imagine this. Well, you trusted
this person. You knew this person. You slept in the same bed it, guys. You cannot imagine this. Well, you trusted this person.
You knew this person.
You slept in the same bed as this person. You were traveling the world with him.
He met my mom and dad.
He knows all my nieces.
He met you guys.
Yeah.
So it took a while to just comprehend that.
And then the weird thing is you actually miss them.
How weird is that?
Yeah, because you miss them.
You miss what you had.
Now I'm really good.
I'm really good. I'm really good.
Trust me.
Back on the scene.
A little dance, a little texture.
And you're so fabulous.
Yeah, the Instagram's up and running again,
at MrDeanMcCarthy, if you want to check it out.
Yes, go check it out.
He's on the market.
I'm just so glad you found out now and not in five years' time
when you married the guy and you had a life together
and then you find out you're just life 2.0 for him. And I don't know what the end
goal is. What is the end goal of someone like that? One day one part of it is going to come crumbling
down, right? How do you think you're going to get away with it forever? Because you can't. One day you will
die and both of your secret families will be at the funeral. And they'll be like, who are you?
Thanks, Dean. Thanks so much for sharing that story, Dean.
We wanted to ask this afternoon, on the back of that,
have you had someone in your life that was leading a double life?
Yeah.
Has this happened to you or someone that you know
where someone has pulled off living a double life in some way?
Maybe it's as shocking as that.
Maybe it comes close.
We would like to hear this afternoon.
The number is 0800DIALZM.
You can also text us on 9696.
We want to hear about the double life you found somebody loving.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Our friend Dean McCarthy, who does the entertainment news on this show,
went through something pretty crazy.
His boyfriend of six months, they'd been travelling the world together.
They used to stay at each other's houses.
Dean finds out that he's
got a whole nother family
with a woman. He has
nine kids, living a full other
life and just
happened to come across this
six months into the relationship. Full straight life
and a full gay life. Yes.
And both of them don't know about each other.
Interestingly, Dean didn't mention it, but he told us he didn't drop the bombshell on the wife.
No.
He said, that's not my place.
So he just sort of went, he just left it.
Because, oh, but what do you do?
Oh, I don't know.
What do you do?
You'd feel so, like, I would feel really gross.
Being that person.
Being Dean?
Because I'd be like, I've literally.
You'd feel like the dirty little secret. Exactly.
Because you are, but he didn't know that he was.
So we've opened it up and we said,
when did you know someone was living a double life?
And I'm blown away by the stuff we're getting sent in.
The texts that are coming through are just crazy.
Yeah.
One of the texts here says,
I know a girl who would be a certain type of person at home
and then she was also an air hostess
where she would live a life as an escort.
Ooh, raunchy.
And she would have clients in each port that they would fly into.
They say that about people in the aviation industry.
Pilots as well.
There's stories of pilots with families in different countries because they have their down days
in each country and they can have entire families that you don't know about. That'd be horrific
to find out. Crazy, hey. Let's go to the phone. Zoe's here. Hi, Zoe. Hi, Zoe.
Hi. Did you know someone who was living a double life?
It was my grandfather living a double life. Why? What was he doing?
Turns out he had three different baby mamas and five children as a result of that that we didn't know about.
Why? Did your grandma know?
No.
And obviously they didn't know about each other either.
Yeah, no one knew about each other until one day we got a Facebook message
from a lady claiming to be my dad's
sister and my dad's an only child.
No way!
Buzzy, so you've got aunties and uncles that you don't
even know about. Yeah,
so everything's all coming to the surface now.
Is he still alive? Is your grandfather still alive?
Yeah. He's keeping
pretty quiet about it all.
How's Christmas, eh?
He's like, I don't know, I can't remember.
Oh, yeah.
I think I've just suddenly got Alzheimer's.
Hi, Liz.
Yeah.
What happened?
What happened, Liz?
Double live.
Hi.
Hello.
I was dating a guy.
We dated for about three months.
He was based in Auckland but had businesses in Auckland, Sydney, here in Christchurch.
So spent a lot of time, you know, travelling to Sydney, saw him, stayed with him at his house in Auckland.
He was taking part in this competition.
And his wife commented on the post,
on the Facebook post that belonged to the competition page that they were talking all about him,
which was somewhat of a shock,
given that I didn't know he was married.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Did you flick her a Facebook friend request?
Well, I sort of screenshotted her profile,
because her profile picture was also their wedding picture.
Oh, God.
See, you can't even lie your way out of that one.
No.
You can't.
You can't.
No.
So I'm like, who's this?
And he just completely disappeared.
Never responded, never said anything.
Disabled his Facebook.
Yeah, far out.
That's crazy.
Hey, on the text machine,
have you known someone who's lived a double life?
This person said,
my great-grandfather was a ship's captain back around 1920 to 1940
and he used to go Sydney to Wellington.
Apparently, he had two families, one in Sydney and one in Wellington.
My dad only found out decades later.
God, it'd be hard to find out a bit of that stuff
about your grandparents.
Like finding out bad stuff about your parents is one thing,
but you just put your grandparents on such a pedestal, eh?
And you just think that they were perfect.
Do you want to take one more?
Yeah, I want to hear one more.
Jenna, double life, who was leading it?
What happened?
That was my ex-fiancee of eight years um and he well he was really against
facebook so we didn't have facebook for a long time um and then you know in the last year i i
got facebook and and we ended up separating because things were a little bit you know
not good and uh two weeks after we separated somebody told me about your other inbox on Facebook
and I had a message on there from this girl saying,
I think we're dating the same man.
I've been seeing him for two years.
He's a stepfather to my children.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Thank God you didn't marry him, right?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Are you all right?
You're okay?
Yeah, yeah. She's all right? You're okay? Yeah, yeah.
She's all right now because she's not with him anymore.
And she's on Facebook now.
Okay.
Honestly, we could go on about this all day.
There are hundreds of messages on the text machine.
There are so many texts.
Which is disappointing because all of them are about men, so.
That is the unifying fact here.
Men love cake.
It's all dudes.
Cake, cake, cake.
ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Let's get a birthday banger.
We use your birthdays and we figure out what was number one
and we play one of those songs.
Kia ora, Graham.
Oh, hi.
Hello, Graham.
Hello, Bree. Mate, hi. Hello, Graham. Hello, Brie.
Mate, what's your birthday?
25th of June 1955. Oh, these
are the ones we love, Graham.
You were 16 in
1971. What a year.
I remember it well. On the 25th of June
and Graham, this topped the chart.
Summer of love.
Oh, wow. T chart. Summer of love. Tune.
What a tune.
Does this sound like 16 to you?
Yeah, it does.
Yeah, alright.
Graham, in Aussie, when this song plays at a country pub,
all the guys take their pants off.
Really?
Yeah, they drop their pants and then they dance with their pants down.
Oh, okay.
Fancy a trip to country Queensland, the agraem, after that one.
Sorry?
No, it's all right.
Don't worry.
Hi, Meg.
Hi, Meg.
Hi, how's it going?
That's a goodie.
Yes, we like it too, Meg.
What's your birthday?
22nd of March, 1996.
Okay, Meg, you were 16 in 2012 on the 22nd of March, 1996. Okay, Meg, you were 16 in
2012 on the 22nd of March
and this is your birthday banger.
How good were fun? Hey, we're good.
Yeah. You get their first
hit, We Are Young.
Happy with that?
Oh, I'd probably go Eagle Rock, to be fair.
Okay, sweet ass.
Good to know.
I love that song.
Hi, Mitch.
Hi, Mitch.
Hey, man.
How are you?
Good, thanks, Mitch.
What's your birthday?
13th of the 5th, 98.
Okay, you were 16 in 2014 on the 13th of May,
and this topped the charts on that day.
No, no! on the 13th of May and this topped the charts on that day.
I think Brie knows the whole Iggy Azalea rap to this song.
I nearly pass out every time I do it because it's so long.
Is that what you were looking for, Mitch, this song?
No, I don't quite throw the Eagle Rock myself.
Yeah, okay.
Sweet as.
Everybody wants Eagle Rock.
It's a tune.
I want fun.
No!
I want fun.
No!
Yeah.
I'm picking Daddy Cool Eagle Rock.
From 1971.
That is my vote all the way.
Right. Do we dare go to the producers? Hey, is my vote all the way. Right.
Do we dare go to the producers?
Hey, let's go to the producers.
Okay. Producer Ben,
decision goes to you today. What song are we playing for Birthday Banger? Eagle Rock.
Yes, mate! I knew you were going to say that.
Yes! Get in! Alright, sweet as.
No, we can do it. Majority rules.
This is the winner of Birthday Banger today.
Drop your pants, New Zealand.
That's not a thing.
Not a thing.
Let's make it a thing.
No, trust me.
If you drop your pants, no one will know why you're doing it.
I'm butting your pants.
You'll get arrested.
Now listen.
We're stepping out.
I'm going to turn around.
I'm going to turn around. I'm going to turn around once and we'll do the Eagle Rock.
Mama, boy, you rock it swell.
Yeah, you do it so well.
Boy, you do it so well when we do the Eagle Rock
Mama, yeah, rockin' fine
Why don't you give me a sign
Just give me a sign
And we'll do the Eagle Rock
Yeah, good old Eagle Rock

Oh, come on fast, come on slow.
I'm just crazy about the way we move.
Do it, the Eagle Rock. Is it in Bree and Clint.
That's the winner of Birthday Banger.
Someone's just texted us and said,
I've just got in the car and while confused,
what a jam!
The winner of birthday banger is Daddy Calls Eagle Rock from 1971.
Oh, I hope you had your pants off.
I don't know if anyone did, although someone texted and said,
my brother lived in Australia for a year and he bought the Eagle Rock pants drop home with him.
We now do it at every family party.
What about this text?
It's my favourite.
Pants are off and we're away
swinging with the eagle rod.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM. Here we go.
A superb
demonstration of power
sprinting. Oh, he's retained
his title in the most emphatic
way. Brilliant, brilliant,
brilliant. Usain
Ben.
He's the fastest man on the planet.
We've been building up to this all
day. Producer Ben, that guy
in your friend group who says he's good at every
sport and he's fast, according
to him. Sign me up for the black caps.
Sign me up for the all blacks. I can do it
all. That's Producer Ben.
His biggest claim is that he could beat
Usain Bolt over 40 metres
if he had a 5 metre running head start.
Yeah, that's true. Do you stand by that?
Yeah. Maybe that's the next one
we test out, but today you get
the chance at a real record.
The record belongs to New
Zealand Paralympic champion
Liam Malone and it's his
personal best. Hi Liam.
Hello. Hey guys. How you doing?
Going well.
Now, you joined us at AUT Millennium,
the official track where all the equipment is,
all the...
Very, very stellar facility.
Yeah, speed radar, newly surfaced track.
It couldn't be any more official, right?
And you saw Ben's form.
What did you think, Liam Malone?
Well, it was certainly entertaining,
for lack of a better word.
I mean,
I've seen,
I mean,
with a running style like that,
you would think he was
in the Paralympics,
I think.
Oh,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa.
Maybe,
yeah.
Oh,
good.
I like that.
But it was good entertainment.
The moustache and thing
really popped it off.
He went into that race
not knowing what your time was
and we think that was a psychological advantage for him
because we didn't want him to get psyched out.
We have since revealed your time.
I asked you at the other end of the track and you said this.
Just between you and me, what is your time?
10.9, I think, was what I did at the Paralympics.
Okay.
But if he gets under 12, then he's a natural talent.
To impress
Liam Malone, producer Ben,
he's saying under 12
would be
natural talent status.
I have Ben's time
but before we go to that, let's
take you to the track. This is
Ben's race as it was run
this afternoon. this is what
we've waited for the showdown the fastest man in the world all right folks well welcome to race day
here we are official track uh with an official champion liam malone uh thanks for joining us
a washed off champion perhaps hey your face is on the front of the building that we're at so
with a horrendous haircut i must add ben are you going on the front of the building that we're at, so... Yeah, with a horrendous haircut, I must add.
Ben, are you going on the front of the building after today's race?
Yes.
Can you inspect the athlete for us, Liam?
Like, physically, give him a once-over.
How's he looking for today's race?
He's fully limbed, so that's a good start.
Although this part here is not usually correlated with increased speed.
For the radio audience, Liam is gesturing towards the midsection.
The gut, also known as the gut.
The gut.
The keg.
For the record,
the number we are chasing today
is your Paralympic 100 metre time.
He looks confident.
That is a confident stance.
The hand on hips is a confident stance.
Ben, good luck.
Good luck, mate.
And Godspeed.
Ben, good luck.
Okay, Liam, it's just us now.
What do you honestly think he's going to do?
I think he doesn't look slow.
I think he can do it in 12.1 maybe.
12.1?
That's really optimistic.
I mean, if he does it, this is a great advertisement for F45.
It really is.
It really is.
And if he doesn't, it's a huge insult to Christchurch.
All right, here we go.
I've got the official job of kicking off the race here at AUT Millennium.
What a great-looking track it is here this afternoon for Ben McDowell.
Great conditions, bit of a tailwind here for the 100-metre start.
On your marks, set...
..and he's away, and he's had a pretty good start off the racing block.
Oh, he's actually fast. OK, I think he'll do it in faster than 12.
And he is away.
He is looking fantastic.
How's his stance?
How's his form?
I don't know what I'd call that.
Like a ninja turtle sprinting real fast.
Very stocky still.
And he is making his way down now to the 80 metres.
What about his head movement?
That's really weird as well.
What's he doing with that?
I don't know.
And it's all over here at AUT Millennium.
What a race by Ben McDowell. And that's all over here at AUT Millennium. What a race by Ben McDowell.
And that's all she wrote, folks.
I'm so excited to know what you run.
We're all here.
Do you want to place a bet on the time before we reveal it, Liam Malone?
Oh, I am a betting man.
Let's put it between 13 and 14 seconds.
Oh!
Between 13 and 14 seconds. Just! Between 13 and 14 seconds.
Just quickly, Ben, what would you be happy with?
I'd be happier than faster than I ran the other day,
which is a 13.8.
13.8.
Okay, I have the official photo finish.
We have Ben's form as he crossed the line.
Not great.
We can see it.
Very, very official.
Ben McDowell from Christchurch.
Your 100 metre time is...
13.19.
That's good.
That's really good.
Hey, it's better than your last race.
It is better than your last race.
I mean, it's no 10.9, but you know.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
This time last night on the show, mate,
you put me in a very uncomfortable position.
Yeah.
Oh, why did they not get a second date?
Yeah.
And I was very uncomfortable, out of my comfort zone,
and I thought, you know, I love to pay you back for things
and I thought why not today is a perfect opportunity so today um off the back of you
making me feel uncomfortable I'm now going to put you in a very uncomfortable position right
we work at a very big company yeah we do there's quite a lot of people. But then here at ZM, it's quite intricate
and there's quite a tight-knit office.
Something you struggle with is names of people.
Oh, don't do this to me.
You really struggle with all the different people here
that we work with and knowing.
Oh, no, I knew you were going to do this.
I told you this in confidence.
We've worked here for over a year.
Oh, you're meant to be a friend.
Over a year.
Producer Ellie, if you could bring in our colleagues, please.
I thought we would test your knowledge.
I'm not a names guy.
I'm not good with names.
I thought this would be a great option where we could really put you
under pressure of knowing people that you work with every single day.
You should know these people. I know every single
one of these people's names. There is a bunch
of people. How many people have you found?
No, and this is the thing. I'm going to
get nervous and I'm going to forget names on
the spot. Some of these people I've never seen
before. I'm going to say that out loud.
We work with them every day.
There's about eight people
from the office that Clint walks past every single day.
Some people who you work intricately with.
If you guys can just come up really close to the mics.
This is not fair.
This is...
We're going to go one by one.
And, Clint, you're going to have one guest.
Can I just say I love you all and I love working with all of you quite a lot.
I call bullshit.
All right, let's go.
You, very lovely young lady,
who's going to step up to the mic.
I'm going to say, it's great to see you.
Yes.
Emma.
Her name is not Emma.
Please step back.
Next young lady, come up to the mic.
Now it is good to see you, Emma.
Okay, you've got one.
All right, you've got one from eight so far. Young man, if you could come and step up to the mic. Hello, you've got one. All right, you've got one from eight so far.
Young man, if you could come and step up to the mic.
Hello, you handsome young gentleman.
Clint, who is this young man that you would have seen in the office?
He's around the hits area.
Oh, okay.
I've actually worked for you for quite a while.
Have you?
Yeah.
Yeah, and I appreciate it.
And you would say, I appreciate it.
And his name is?
Jack.
No, it's Stefan.
This is the problem.
Not everybody gets introduced with a name.
Yeah, that is the issue here.
Definitely not anything else.
Lovely young lady who's worked.
It's great to see Clara.
Nice work.
Good, because you've worked very closely with Clara.
All right, someone who works on ZM is actually on the station from time to
time. Yes. And you've asked me what her name
is probably six or seven times. Because I wanted
to learn it and I wanted to commit it
to memory. And it is...
Celia. No!
The other one, the other one. Remember
there's two that... Petra. It is
Petra. You've got a
solid two at the moment.
Is that all I've got?
So far.
We're into the last three people.
If you would like to come up to the mic,
you would walk past her desk every single day.
I remember meeting you on the day you started here.
Yeah.
Yeah, see?
Good.
That's good.
And her name...
I'm not a names guy.
I'm not a names guy.
Her name is...
I've got absolutely nothing. Can I have a letter? Can Her name is... I've got absolutely nothing.
Can I have a letter? Can I have a...
It rhymes with...
Amelia.
No, it's Alex.
Alright, last...
Second last one. You've
asked me what her name is multiple times.
She also works in our office.
What's her name? Because we
were talking the other day about F45
and I always get your name confused
with someone else's and that's why I had
this conversation with you in private
so that I could get it right. I
hate this game. What's her name? I absolutely
hate this game. You should know her name.
I do know your name and
every time I...
Come on, you can do it.
It's in there. This is the problem. It's in there.
You can do it. Starts with there. This is the problem. It's in there. You can do it.
Starts with a H.
Harriet.
Yes.
Harriet.
You had help.
The last one.
Let's see how you go.
Lovely young man.
You would have talked to him multiple times.
Yeah, I see you every day. You talk to a lot of people in the kitchen.
Over at the Hits.
And his name is...
This is hard.
I can't call you bro anymore
because everyone will know
that I'm full of shit
we will also take
nickname
ah
brother
