Z-DAMN!
Let's go, go, go!
Now let me see you dance!
Z-DAMN's Brie and Clint!
Good afternoon everybody and welcome to the fanciest edition of the Brie and Clint show yet.
Oh well afternoon Clint.
One of us has a full face of makeup, a beautifully styled hairdo.
Yeah, where are you going?
And a makeup artist who is currently picking up more brushes than I've ever seen
in my entire life. You didn't have to
get this dressed up for me, mate. Well, you keep
pushing that joke. All I've done is shaven a nice
moustache for the evening.
How do you shave a moustache?
Well, you get rid of the rest of the hair. Oh, so it makes it
look more prominent. Do you like my moustache?
Eh. Oh, okay. I've never
had one before, so that's nice positive feedback
to go out into the evening with tonight.
I mean, I always compare people's mustaches to my dad, Big Steve.
Can you stop comparing me to your dad, please?
I know they say girls marry their dad, but I'm never going to be your dad.
Okay, all right.
Also, I'm married.
Relax.
Relax, mate.
Back off, okay?
We're off to the Music Awards tonight.
We are.
We're very, very lucky.
It's going to be super fun.
Today on the show, we have your chance
to go to the biggest gig
in New Zealand, possibly this year.
Friday Jams live at
Western Springs Stadium. I was on the event
group for this on Facebook today.
It's popping off. It's popping off. People are clambering
for tickets all over the place. There are final
tickets on sale. Remember that before you go
and look to buy someone else's inflated tickets.
Look to Ticketmaster because there are final release tickets
for all areas on sale at the moment.
Yeah, don't buy them anywhere else because some of those other sites
could be a scam.
Just also, if you type in Friday Jams Live tickets,
be careful because the first link that comes up,
because they're promoted that way, is a Viagogo one.
Yeah, don't go to that.
Don't do it.
Don't do it to yourself.
Ticketmaster is the only place your tickets will be legit from. that way as a Viagogo one. Yeah, don't go to that. Don't do it. Don't do it to yourself.
Ticketmaster is the only place your tickets will be legit from.
We're going to give some away
at five o'clock.
Another edition of The Negotiator.
God, people got riled up
with that yesterday.
It got real dirty.
A guy called Anton
would not back down on tickets.
Well, actually,
neither of them would back down,
but it was heated.
Let's be real.
Anton was a D-bag.
I'm okay to say that.
He was.
Nah.
Nah.
He was.
No, you can't say that because he came in with a tactic, and you can come up with whatever
tactic you want.
I think he came in with his personality.
That's what he came in with.
He played a D-bag.
That's for sure.
You can say that.
Well, he might not be, but yesterday-
It didn't work for him.
Either way, it didn't work for him.
He came across as one.
Let's put it that way.
We had to give the tickets to a random caller.
That's fine.
We'll play again The Negotiator
at five o'clock today. Hey, first up
I want to talk about my
birthday ages away.
Oh God, I just had a horrible feeling I forgot your birthday.
No, it's ages away.
Cool. But I think I'm already
going to reject a present that
someone's already got me. Rude.
It's not rude
when I tell you the story behind it.
Okay.
Tell us next.
I'll tell you next.
Friday Jams is this weekend.
Here's Usher, Zid M.
I've got a birthday dilemma.
When's your birthday, by the way?
My birthday is over the Christmas holidays.
Yeah.
But my sister says to me the other day, she's like,
are you going to be in the country back home in Aussie on this date?
Gave me a specific date.
Yeah.
And asked if I was going to be where she was going to be,
which we're looking to holiday on the Sunshine Coast.
Yeah.
And are you going to be there?
Yes.
Cool.
And I said to her, I was like, yeah, I'm going to be there.
That's fine.
And I kind of didn't really think much about it.
And now I've kind
of thought up in my brain and I think she might have bought me something for my birthday that I
don't want oh that is so ungrateful every gift is a gift okay let me tell you the t's and c's
I'm pretty sure she's booked a skydive. Ah.
Have you ever done a skydive?
Never.
And I don't want to.
Why not?
Because you get a heights.
I'm terrified of heights.
And one of my really good mates had a skydiving accident probably about four or five years ago.
Yeah.
And he nearly died.
Yeah.
And I watched him retell this story a bunch of times
and he has post-traumatic stress from it.
He's in a bad way.
Okay.
Anyway, since hearing that story, it's just not something I want to do
and I'm pretty sure she's booked it because I know for a fact
her friends bought her a skydive last year.
Yeah.
And I think what she's done is she's going to book both of ours
on the same day and then we can do it together.
So you don't want to do it because your friend had a skydiving accident?
Yeah.
Well, you've probably had friends who have had car accidents.
It doesn't stop you from driving a car.
I know, but, you know, I don't have to jump out of a plane.
It's not on my to-do list.
You've got me there. You know, I don't have to jump out of a plane. It's not on my to-do list. You've got me there.
You know what I mean?
I've done two skydives.
And when I did the second one, I was like, why did I do that?
I've already done it.
I've already done it once.
Why am I risking it again?
Because you get the experience.
And guess what?
The experience is exactly the same.
I know what you mean.
I know what you mean.
You know, I just don't want to and I don't think it's worth it for me
and the stress to put myself through that
but she's done this nice thing and she's thought
about it. Do you think she's already paid for it?
Is this the problem? Do you think she's already gone and booked
you this guy? I'm pretty sure
she's booked it, it's paid for
and I'm going to get there and she's
going to surprise me on this day
and she's going to say, happy birthday and I'm going
to be like... And there's no way you'll do this day and she's going to say, happy birthday and I'm going to be like.
And there's no way you'll do it?
I don't want to.
There's no way you can be convinced to do it?
Like you can't, you don't think you'll come around to her?
You don't think she'll get you over the line?
I don't think it's worth the amount of stress that it will cause me.
Why don't you just ring her?
Why don't you just ring her and say, I'm not doing,
I think you've got me a skydive.
Are you worried about hurting her feelings? Yes I don't want to hurt her feelings
Because last year
You can't throw yourself out of a plane
For someone else's feelings
Okay
That's just
That's both a metaphor
And just a literal piece of advice
To save her being upset
I will jump out of the plane
Okay
You could I know you don't want to do it You could just do it I will jump out of the plane. Okay.
You could, I know you don't want to do it.
You could just do it because it could be the best thing you ever do.
You could suck it up and go, I'll just do it.
Yeah.
But then.
Or you could just take the gift and go, oh, thanks.
I'll do it soon.
And then just never get around to it.
See, I like that idea.
I do like that idea.
Be like, cool.
No, but I'm pretty sure she's booked it in.
Okay.
Do you want some help?
Yeah.
Okay.
0800 dial ZM or 9696.
Put yourself in Bree's situation.
You don't want to skydive.
You think your sister has already purchased you a skydive for Christmas.
She's organized it all.
Yeah.
It's going to be a big event.
What do you do?
0800 dial Zitim or text us on
9666.
Should just man up and call her.
Maybe we should call her next on the radio.
Should just man up and jump out of a plane.
Bree and Clint on Zitim.
Bit of a dilemma I'm going through at the moment.
I'm pretty sure my sister's booked me a skydive
for my birthday over the Christmas holidays.
I'm thinking she has.
I don't know for sure.
But it's the one thing that I don't think I can ever do in my life.
One of my friends had a skydiving accident when he was 21
and it's literally haunted me.
That story haunts me and I hate heights.
I don't think I could ever do it.
I'd be that person that goes up and comes back down in the plane.
Well, you're not going to jump out of a jet,
but that's my plane sound effect.
I know what you mean.
I've done it and I didn't think I'd ever do it.
So I think you should just give it a go.
But if you don't want to do it,
we're looking for solutions for you, right?
Yeah, and I'm all for pushing myself.
I mean, I did the canyon swing in Queenstown last year.
I actually bought that for my sister's birthday.
What's the difference for you between a canyon swing and a skydive?
No one's ever died on the canyon swing.
Not that canyon swing.
Well, yeah.
Okay, we have a lot of feedback and a lot of opinions.
I'm just going to give you a couple of texts quickly.
There's some really funny texts, can I say?
Break your arm.
I like this one.
It says, Brie, get fat.
Too heavy, you can't jump.
Don't be a pussy.
Just do it, Brie.
See, that's not said in a constructive way.
I like this one.
Overcome your fears, Brie.
You got this.
I don't know if I do.
There are people also offering to dress up as you
and put on an Australian accent.
I like that idea.
You have support across the board, including from Holly.
Hi, Holly.
Hi, how you doing? Good, thank you. What should Brie do?
I feel, speaking from experience of almost being forced to do a skydive and being terrified, just be honest.
Just say, you know what, sis? I love you, but please don't make me do that.
So did that happen to you, Holly? Yeah, my fiancé
tried to buy me one and I was like,
no, no, no, no, no, we won't be getting married if you do that.
Please don't.
I've had the same chat from my wife.
Good bargaining chip.
Very early in the relationship she goes,
you know how some people think it's romantic to book like adventurous presents
like bungee jumps and stuff?
Yeah.
Not me.
I'm not interested.
She gave you the heads up.
And if you book them, I'm not doing them.
I'm just not going to do them.
And I'll leave you. If you want to waste your money, sure, go for it. Holly gave you the heads up. And if you book them, I'm not doing them. I'm just not going to do them. And I'll leave you.
If you want to waste your money, sure, go for it.
Oh, Holly, you should meet Lucy.
You guys would really get along.
Hey, Ricky.
Hey, how's it going?
Good, thanks, Ricky.
What do you think I should do?
I reckon what you should do is find some videos on YouTube
of skydiving incidents.
Nothing too heavy, but just with comments that you'd never do it
and why would anyone think about it, do it a couple of times
and hopefully your sister will just pick up on the hint.
Oh, start seeding the idea of how much you hate skydives.
Yes, I like that idea.
That would be stink for her, though, if she's already bought it.
That's the thing.
Yeah, there's plenty of time for her to suss out a refund or something, surely.
Can't we just go go-karting or something?
I'm sure they'll give us a voucher for something else.
Ask your sister if you can just have the cash equivalent.
Ask for a refund and say,
because skydives are not cheap.
Yeah, I know.
Krista, welcome to the show.
Hi, guys. How are you?
Good, thanks. How are you?
Good.
What do you think I should do?
I really think you should just give her a call, Brie,
and just talk to her and let her know what you're feeling
because that's what sisters are there for.
Yeah, that's true.
What if I call her and then she hasn't got me that?
Well, then maybe just swing it around
and somehow come up with an excuse and be like,
oh, I just heard rumours through the family grapevine
that that's what
you were going to get me.
And then she ends up getting me that because I
give the idea to her?
Or she goes, no, I haven't got you that. And you go,
oh, good, just checking because that's what I was
going to get you.
Last one, Nick, what's Bree going to do, mate?
How do you get out of this? Her sister's bought her a skydiver
that she doesn't want to do. What's the best solution?
So I actually
had the same situation happen.
And what happened?
So my brother and sister thought it would be a really good
idea to get me a skydiving voucher for my
birthday. But I
found a loophole. So mine has
a 100kg weight limit. So
target accepted.
You took it as a challenge. What weight
were you?
I think I was in my 80s,
and I'm now in my 98, I think.
Sweet, so I've only got 25
kilos, and I'm good to go.
Listen up. Girls
who are looking for a boyfriend,
and boys who are looking to make a bit of money.
Okay.
Okay.
There is a girl in the UK.
Her name is Jane Park.
She's a 23-year-old millionaire.
And she's looking to pay someone to be her boyfriend.
Oh.
Why?
Now, I'll give you a few details about her.
She's the UK's youngest ever lotto winner.
Right.
She won lotto over there when she was 17.
Oh, my God.
That's dangerous.
It is extremely dangerous.
You have to be 16 to play in that country.
She was 17.
She won a million pounds.
Wow.
About $2 million, New Zealand.
She, since then, reckons she's had a pretty crappy run with boyfriends.
She can't find one that is into her for her, so she says.
So she wants to take money out of the equation, and she wants to give whoever is going to
be her boyfriend, if you're going to be a loyal boyfriend to her, that's what she wants,
a loyal boyfriend, she'll give you 100 grand a year.
What?
How much money Does she have now?
She's going to waste
All of her winnings
I know
I don't know how much
She's got left
But even if she had it all
That only secures her
A boyfriend
Well for the next 20 years
To get her a boyfriend
For 20 years
That's a good job
It's a very good job
You hear this story
And what do you
Straight away think?
What do you think she What? What do you think she...
What?
I didn't think about that.
You did because you aren't...
You did.
But now that you say that...
She's not ugly.
Yeah, I said to you, I was like, what does she look like?
How old is she?
She's not in any way unfortunate looking,
which is a horrible thing to say,
but that's where my mind went straight away.
So let's be real.
Yeah, yeah. She wants to pay $100,000 for loyalty
That's it
She wants a boyfriend who will
Well, it gets a little bit
Is there like T's and C's on it
Where she can put a tracking device on him or something?
Her last boyfriend she made sign a contract
When he went on holiday
And one of the details was
He's not allowed to make eye contact with any other women.
Wait, wait.
So was this before she was paying boyfriends?
This is before she was paying them.
Oh, so she crazy.
Come on.
But would you enter into that contract for a hundred grand a year?
Would you enter into that contract?
You do it for a year.
Oh, yeah.
And then you might fall in love.
And then, I mean, when, you know, contract negotiations come back around.
Send the price up.
You just put the price up.
You've got to be willing to walk, though.
That's the key part of contract negotiations.
Don't fall in love because you've got to be willing to say,
well, I'm sorry, it's $150 this year or I'm out.
You know?
And nothing says love like a contract.
Nothing says love like a balls-to-the-wall negotiation at gunpoint.
I wonder if there's anyone listening this afternoon
who actually has been in a relationship
or maybe you're in a relationship that involves an allowance.
Have you?
Are you on an allowance?
What, do you think Lucy's giving me like a...
No.
No?
No.
You've got a joint bank account, haven't you it you've got a joint bank account haven't we do have a
joint bank account yeah but i mean more like the other person in the relationship has more money
than you right and they're giving you like they deposit into your account maybe it's a sugar sugar
daddy sugar daddy sugar mama type situation cougar i knew a guy who was dating an older lady and she
would buy him a gift a week and by by gift I mean like an iPhone and new shoes
and part of their deal was
I'll come and see you but you have to
one cook me dinner and I get a gift a week.
Whoa. One of my
friends dated this girl who was working in the
mines. Yeah. She bought him a car.
Wow.
Are they still together? No.
And he still has the car.
This is the question.
0800 dial ZM.
You can text 9696.
Have you ever had a relationship allowance?
Has the other person ever given you money to be in that relationship?
We might not get anyone.
We might not get anyone.
But if you want to call and you need a fake name, we can do that for you as well.
We'll take sugar mamas or sugar daddies too.
0800 dial ZM.
So we're just talking about this girl.
Where is she?
Over in the UK?
She's in the UK.
Youngest ever person to win a lotto.
She won...
Two mil.
About two mil Kiwi, yeah.
Two million dollars Kiwi when she was 17.
And she said she's, what, 21 now?
23.
She's going to pay somebody a hundred grand to be her boyfriend.
Because she's sick of boys just giving her the run around.
She said all she wants is loyalty. So essentially she wants to be her boyfriend. Because she's sick of boys just giving her the run around. She said all she wants is
loyalty. So essentially
she wants to be someone's sugar mama. Pretty sweet
gag. That's pretty much what she's saying. If you're the kind
of guy who can be loyal, you know.
I mean, it shouldn't be that hard. For a
hundred grand, you're loyal to your job
and they probably pay you less than
that. I guess you have to like her though.
No, you don't. You can pretend for a hundred
grand. Yeah, true. You'd be surprised. You can pretend for a hundred grand. Yeah, true.
You'd be surprised what you can fake for a hundred grand.
Honestly.
Bit of a weird question this afternoon.
We're asking,
is anyone listening receiving a relationship allowance like that?
She's going to pay her boyfriend a hundred grand a year.
Are you getting money for being in a relationship?
So you're essentially a professional boyfriend or girlfriend.
We've had a text in that says, no, I'm not,
but I'll pay producer Ben $50 a week to be my boyfriend.
$50?
Yeah.
Are you in?
It's only like two and a half grand a year.
Yeah, but...
Yeah, it's about right.
Can I keep my current girlfriend?
Great question.
That's more a question for your current girlfriend, to be honest.
Text them back.
And text your girlfriend, to be honest.
But on the phone, we have someone who's called through.
Amelia, good afternoon.
Hi.
Now, do you fit the bill?
Are you receiving a relationship allowance?
I had before.
I'd been in a relationship kind of thing with a guy for like six months.
Okay.
And Amelia, was there like a conversation?
Was there a contract?
It was kind of more just we went with the flow,
but then he got so controlling by the end of it,
it was like there was a contract really.
You had to have some rules.
I wasn't really allowed to do much.
Okay, take it back, take it back.
So was he giving you money and how much?
I was getting about two grand a week.
Wow!
That's a hundred, Amelia, Amelia, that's a hundred grand a year.
That's exactly what we're talking about.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
I didn't really calculate that.
You didn't think about that before you bailed at the six-month point, did you?
Yeah.
Amelia, did you know this, like,
is it something that just came about in the relationship,
or was it from the start he said to you,
I will give you this, this is the deal?
Well, he was doing it with another girl
and then he was telling me about it
and then I was kind of like, oh yeah, that could be cool
because I'd never really heard of it before
or had been interested in a relationship like that before.
And then it kind of turned pear-shaped for them
and then I kind of just jumped in there.
Where did you meet him?
So he was a sugar daddy.
You knew he was a sugar daddy.
Yeah, yeah.
I kind of met him in Auckland when I was out in a club one night.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So did you agree on the amount?
Were you like, this is how much I'd like?
Or he goes, this is the job and this is what it pays?
No, well, because at first I didn't really want it to
because I was overthinking it.
And then I just kind of said, you know, two grand.
And then he was like, okay.
And I was like, whoa.
Damn, should have asked for more.
Should have asked for more.
Yeah.
Okay, here's my question.
Yeah, no, I should have.
Here's my question.
I got quite a bit out of him as well.
Amelia, how old were you and how old was he?
I would have been 21 at the time and he was 28.
Oh my God.
Yeah, he was just like a young Asian guy with way too much money.
I was thinking like 45, 50 and 21.
So what did he do for a job?
You said he was a young Asian guy.
What did he do for a job?
He was a building developer, like developed big buildings
in Auckland. Yeah. So he would
have had tons of cash to throw away.
You know what? Yeah. I think it suits
some people because they go, well,
we'll do this as a contract type
situation. We all know what the rules are.
Then he doesn't have to be such a good boyfriend.
I know this is super personal,
but did you have to do
everything?
No, I was kind of strong with my
word, like, not doing, like, things that
I didn't feel comfortable doing.
I mean, that's when it, like,
turned pear-shaped with us, because he,
you know, he was asking for heaps that I didn't want to do.
Right. Fascinating.
Well, you strung it out for six months.
Yeah. I assume you guys are not
friends now. Last question.
Would you do it again?
Are you open to that type of thing again?
I don't know.
It took a really big mental toll on me for a long time.
Yeah.
And then to get back to a normal relationship, it took me a lot.
What?
Because you're like, oh, damn it, this guy doesn't give me any money.
I was used to getting all this money for hanging around a guy.
You know, and then hanging out
with a normal guy
and being like,
where's my money?
She had to get a job again.
It was horrific.
Yeah, pretty much.
Amelia, you...
I was like living the high life
and then, you know.
Yeah.
Hey, thanks for being so
honest with us this afternoon.
We really appreciate it.
No, that's all good.
Bree and Clint ZM.
Oh, we're going to do
a birthday banger.
Do you reckon I could
find me one of those?
What, Sugar Daddy?
Yeah.
I'm sure you could, but do you want to?
No.
No, I didn't think you did.
Brie and Clint on ZM.
Birthday banger.
A.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's birthday banger.
This is where we get your birthdays and we find out what was number one on your actual
16th birthday.
First one up is Jade.
Hi, Jade.
Hi, Jade.
Hi.
What's your birthday, Jade?
The 7th of August, 1992.
Okay, Jade, you were 16 in 2008 on the 7th of August,
and this is your birthday banger.
Katy Perry's first song, I Kissed a Girl.
Yeah, probably later back in the day.
Yeah, okay.
It was a tune.
Yeah, that's a soft pass.
It was a banger.
We haven't played that in Birthday Banger, you were saying.
We've never played that, no.
Seems weird that we haven't done that one.
Yeah.
Chevron?
Siobhan?
Hi.
Hi, Chevron.
Jesus.
You just hear the disappointment in Siobhan's voice.
No, someone spelt your name in a very weird way, okay?
That would be producer Ben from Christchurch.
He spelt it Chev.
Don't worry how he spelt it.
That's not what's important.
What's important is your birthday, banger.
What's your birthday, Chevron?
28th of June, 1989.
Okay, you were 16 in 2005 on the 28th of June,
and this was top of the Charts.
You get one of the songs from the death throes
of the Backstreet Boys.
That was their comeback.
Is this the comeback song?
That was the comeback song.
Did it work?
Well, it went to number one.
You get Incomplete.
Hang on, let's just go
to the last bit.
Oh, my God, they cut it off before that bit.
The perfect ending to the perfect song.
That was the only good part.
Did you like that song, Siobhan?
I was kind of hoping for something a little bit more upbeat.
Yeah, me too.
Okay, let's see what else happens.
Let's round it out with Shelley.
Hi, Shell.
Shelley's just dropped off the line, but we have Shelley's details.
We can do it without her.
I've got her details.
Shelley was, her birthday is the 6th of March, 1973.
So she was 16 in 1989.
And on the 6th of March, this was number one.
Oh, we've got a winner.
I feel drunk just hearing this song.
Let it rip, Clinton.
Feels like I'm at...
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, good.
I thought you were going to make me play the Katy Perry song.
Nah, get it in your New Zealand.
Get this in your New Zealand.
The flavors.
Go grab a drink and start drinking at work.
And start early.
It's the weekend.
Kind of.
Kind of ZM, Bree and Clint
That's a birthday banger that I am not ashamed of
Welcome back to the breeze
That's too energetic for the breeze, mate
That is not easy listening
That is get up, out of your seat
Grab yourself a vodka cruiser and start dancing music
How good is that at a wedding?
Someone just texted in and said
Wow, was the singer of this song always Scottish?
The thing is, you're just hearing that song for the first time sober.
That's the difference.
I still like it.
Also, Ross Boss came in in the middle of that song.
He was just shaking his head.
We told him to piss off, but he said,
I just didn't think that this is where the birthday banger segment
was going to end up so soon.
Last week you played Wham.
He goes, my wife messaged me last week and all she wrote was Wham.
Bree and Clint on ZM.
Bree and Clint, the negotiator.
All right, so this is pretty simple.
If you want these Friday Jams live tickets, all you have to do, we get two people on.
The first person says exactly why they want them,
why they need them.
The next person gets to say exactly why they want them
and need them.
Then we put them on the phone to each other for 30 seconds.
They have to negotiate who gets these tickets.
We've got extra tickets.
Thanks to our mates at Burger King who have hooked this up.
They're offering you the chance to preload
for Friday Jams with a Whopper,
and they'll make sure you get a free Whopper after Friday Jams as well.
If you can take Anton's situation yesterday,
because, I mean, if you take the nice angle
and you really plead with the other person,
I think that's the angle that might get you the tickets.
We haven't had a successful angle yet, though.
We haven't.
So you may have negotiation skills that we don't know about.
And maybe you really want these tickets,
but then maybe if you hear the other person's side,
maybe here's a chance to do something really nice for someone else.
Let's go to Witty first.
Hi, Witty.
Hi.
Now, you need to tell us, we're going to give you 15 seconds
to tell us exactly why you want the tickets,
and the other person who you'll be negotiating is listening, okay?
Okay.
I'll start your 15-second timer now.
I'm 17.
I work at a supermarket.
I've been saving for five weeks.
And just over a week ago, my car got broken into,
so now I have to pay it off and I have no money to buy a ticket.
Who's your favourite artist?
Usher.
How much do you want to see Usher?
Like, so bad.
I'm not even going to say anything.
Let's go to the next caller.
I'll say something.
I'd give it to Witty.
This.
Okay, wait there, Witty.
Okay, hang on.
You need to hear the other person's story first.
Adrian, hi.
Hi, Adrian.
Hi.
Hi, guys.
Did you hear that?
I did.
Yeah.
Okay, great.
Put that out of your mind for now.
Okay? Don't worry about it. You'll be negotiating great. Put that out of your mind for now. Okay?
Don't worry about it.
You'll be negotiating soon.
Now's your chance to say why you deserve them.
Go for it.
Okay.
Okay, so I'm Adrienne.
This year I've lost over 20 kgs.
I still have a long way to go,
but on Saturday I'm competing in my first kind of triathlon thing,
and I'm really freaking out, but I just want to do it.
And then on Sunday, oh!
There you go.
On Sunday, you want to celebrate.
You, Adrian?
Yeah, I would love to celebrate.
I didn't think you were going to have anything to compete with,
Witty's story, but now I don't know.
I like both of them.
Okay, I'm going to lock you in there, and I'm going to bring Witty back.
Are you there, Witty?
Yep. Okay, guys, now to lock you in there and I'm going to bring Woody back. Are you there, Woody? Yep.
Okay, guys, now's your chance.
30 seconds.
We're going to leave you alone and let's see if you can negotiate.
You'll hear a 15-second indicator and you'll hear a 5-second indicator, okay?
You can't split the tickets.
You sound like you'd be good friends.
You can't go together, okay?
Someone has to take both of the tickets.
We will give you a chance when the buzzer goes that if someone wants to give them up at the end, okay? Someone has to take both of the tickets. We will give you a chance when the buzzer goes
that if someone wants to give them up at the end, okay?
Here we go.
Okay.
Best of luck.
30 seconds starts now.
Hey, Woody, please, please.
Can you pick me, please?
Well, let's not let this go to the third corner.
Like, who cares about them?
It's me or you.
We've both been through struggles.
Please.
Please.
I'm old.
15 seconds.
You're 17.
You can go later.
I'm old.
I'm 29.
Gonna be 30 this year.
I've loved us just as before you were born.
Please.
Please.
Woody, please.
Time's up.
You guys are meant to talk to each other, not over each other.
Guys, that was the opposite of negotiating.
You meant to talk to each other and discuss it.
Oh, can we try again?
Give it one more 30 seconds.
Really?
Yep.
Do you promise you'll listen to each other?
Listen and actually talk to each other, guys.
I really want you to discuss this, okay?
Ask each other questions.
Go into this with an open mind.
Here we go.
No one else gets this.
30 more seconds.
Starts now.
Okay.
Do you want to talk?
What?
Oh, if you give me the tickets,
I could, like, come and support you at your competition.
Oh!
Oh!
If you give me... If you give me the ticket,
my husband can help fix your car.
I promise he'll help you.
It's going to cost so much.
How much will it cost?
Five seconds.
Like, the windows are broken
and then the stuff that's been stolen out of it.
That's it, guys. That's it. That's it.
Okay.
You've now had a minute.
We need to ask.
And you need to know that if you can't reach a decision,
we give the tickets away to the first person who gets through.
Just a random.
If either of you think the other person is deserving,
I want you to really think about maybe doing something selfless and doing something
nice for another person.
Okay.
Do either of you want to give up the Friday Jams live tickets to the other person?
Woody, do you want to give them to me?
Hello?
Woody?
Oh, I would. I just...
We can't have you guys negotiating again.
I need to know, and I'm going to give this five seconds.
Does anybody want to give up the Friday Jams live tickets?
Speak up now.
No, sorry.
Damn, I really wanted to, but hearing you say no sorry,
nah, you know what, you can have it, Witty.
I'll go with you, girl.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Adrian.
Oh, my God.
Can you hear how excited people are in the background?
Adrian, don't hang up.
Don't hang up, okay,
because we're going to make sure you get something out of this.
Witty, how does that make you feel?
Oh, honestly, kind of support you.
Thank you so much.
Oh, you're welcome.
Have fun.
And sorry about your car.
That sucks, girl.
Adrian.
Go have fun.
You've given me goosebumps this afternoon.
Good luck for your competition.
Thank you.
That is not the result I expected.
That is not what I thought was going to happen.
Adrian, good for you.
You've done something really lovely for another person this afternoon.
Woody, we will see you at Friday Jams Live.
And Adrian, we're going to find you a prize as well.
Okay, you're not going home empty handed.
Thank you.
All good.
Thanks, guys.
Yay!
We got one.
Success!
Finally.
Woody, you're going to see Eve on Sunday.
Let's go. Success! Finally. Whitty, you're going to see Eve on Sunday.
Yeah, girl.
We just did The Negotiator with Whitty and Adrian.
Adrian ended up giving up her tickets so that Whitty could go to the show.
Really, really lovely to hear this afternoon. The tickets we're giving away were provided to us by Burger King.
Yes.
Adrian's still with us.
Hey, Adrian.
Hi, Adrian. Hey. Do you. Hi, Adrienne. Hey.
Hey. Do you feel good, Adrienne,
that you've done something really lovely for someone else?
I do. I know that she'll be buzzing, you know.
And she's only
young. She's 17, been through a lot
already, so it's all good.
The people from Burger King were listening while we
did that competition, and they've just messaged me and they
said, please make sure Adrienne gets $100 worth of Burger King.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.
I don't know if you want a carbo load before you're a triathlon
or you want to do it afterwards.
Celebration afterwards.
It'll be my treat meal for after the big run.
See, karma is so good.
Thank you, Burger King.
Thank you, Adrian.
Thanks, Adrian. See, there you go. Everybody wins. Thank you, Adrian. Thanks, Adrian.
See, there you go.
Everybody wins.
How good's karma?
Can't promise that'll happen every time someone gives up their tickets,
but good result today, right?
It's good for today.
So one of the biggest celebrity conspiracies last year
was about Taylor Swift and how she went missing from the public eye
for weeks, months, a long period of time.
There was no photos taken of time. Yeah.
There was no photos taken of her.
People didn't know where she went.
There was this theory that came out in July last year
when an image surfaced of two of her bodyguards
carrying this really large black suitcase
from out of her New York apartment.
Yeah.
People said they reckon she was in the suitcase
and that's how she was dodging the paparazzi.
I remember that and most people were like, don't be stupid.
Don't be dumb.
You should see the photo.
Yeah.
It's a big suitcase.
Yeah.
She's 5'10".
She's a very tall person.
She's a very tall person.
She's thin.
Mm-hmm.
So obviously looking at the suitcase, she'd fit in there.
Yeah.
I reckon she would.
Yeah.
She'd have to be quite flexible. Yeah. She's a dancer. She's she'd fit in there. Yeah. I reckon she would. Yeah. She'd have to be quite flexible.
Yeah.
She's a dancer.
She's like a Bambi.
Yeah.
She looks like Bambi.
She looks like a baby giraffe.
So this was just a, yeah, literally, this was just a conspiracy
and all of her super fans went on and on about it,
but then it kind of died down because nothing really happened after that.
So in a Vogue UK interview, Zayn Malik,
who's good mates with Taylor Swift,
and they worked on the Fifty Shades series together last year.
The single, yeah.
Yeah.
And he's come out and said that in the interview,
she was travelling around in a suitcase.
Oh, he's confirmed it.
So he's literally confirmed the conspiracy.
He didn't say how many times or for how long, but obviously...
Once is enough.
Once is enough.
Once is enough to be a bit weird.
Part of me thinks brilliant.
Part of me thinks sad that you have to live your life on that road.
But she pulled it off.
They didn't get a photo of her for months.
Because they were just carrying the suitcase from her house to the car.
Part of me goes, get a house with an underground car park.
Yeah, I know. Like, get a back
door. You could afford it.
You're Taylor Swift. I said to
you this afternoon, I said
I wonder if we could get away with it.
I wonder if we could stuff me.
Because I'm 5'10". Yeah.
I'm the exact same height as Taylor Swift.
Yeah. The exact same build?
No. But
I'm a few kilos heavier.
I said, let's put me in a bag and you and producer Ben.
Carry you around.
Carry me around.
See if we can get you around the building.
The trick was, would it be noticeable?
Yes.
Like if we were to carry a body sized bag through the office,
would it be noticeable?
Spoiler alert.
It was incredibly noticeable.
Everyone goes, is there a dead body in there?
Someone literally said it looks like you're carrying a body in there.
The most exciting bit was inside the bag.
We managed to get a camera in there with you.
This is what it sounded like,
your journey around ZM inside a bag, Taylor Swift style today.
This is actually the perfect size for you.
Great.
Well, you'll know now if you ever need to get rid of me.
Take off.
People, help me.
How are you doing?
Holy shit.
You nailed me on that wall.
Oh, fuck. That was my head. You nailed me on that wall.
It's my head.
They're dragging me.
They're dragging me.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
I mean, not my most graceful moment.
No.
And I've never seen a bigger sweat moustache on a woman than when we opened the bag and you
were curled up in there. Alright, I had a soola.
I have a problem with getting a sweaty
upper lip, okay? Is that a soola?
A soola. Sweaty upper lip area.
Oh, cool. We're inventing words.
Sweet. There's a video coming of it
too this evening, after the show. You can see
what it looks like. I can't wait to see this video and
people's faces when they see you and producer
Ben carrying around this body bag.
Bree and Clint on Zit Im.
I went to dinner the other night with a bunch of mates.
Yeah.
And we were talking about the anniversary of a super famous TV couple and their first kiss.
Mm-hmm.
Which was the other day.
So it's been 23 years since this famous TV couple kiss.
Right. And it sparked a debate because the storyline in the show,
should we say who it is?
Yeah, you might as well.
Ross and Rachel from Friends.
Yeah.
It's been 23 years since their first kiss.
What a moment.
And the conversation went south when we started talking about if ross and rachel were
really on a break it's been the biggest debate of the last 23 years this is what i know about
that debate don't bring it up um around people you're not that familiar with because you can
end up yelling at each other and don't bring it up on a first, second or third date. It's like religion, money or politics.
And Ross and Rachel
want a break.
Exactly.
They're the four things
you shouldn't bring up
on a first date.
And it really split
the table in half.
We should really explain.
I mean, 23 years
is a long time.
It is.
Friends was a TV show
about six friends.
No, I don't have to
explain that much.
It was the bit
when they had a fight over something
and this is how they decided
to solve it.
Oh, I'm making this too hard. Okay, what do you
want me to do? I don't know. I don't know.
Look, maybe we should just
take a break. Okay, let's
take a break. Let's cool off, okay?
Let's get some frozen yogurt or something.
No.
A break from us.
So they're on a break and Ross sleeps with someone else.
And then she blows up and says,
we weren't on a break.
Why would you do that?
You've ruined our whole relationship now.
We're never going to get back together.
23 years on, what was the consensus of the dinner party?
It was 50-50, which I thought was really strange. Half believing? Half thought they were on
a break. And that what Ross did was okay? They didn't think it was okay
but they thought there was the loophole that they were on a break.
So she should have forgiven him in the end? Yeah.
And the other half were like, no way they were on a break. He shouldn't have done that.
What side of the table were you on?
I was on the, they were on a break.
That's the side I was on.
You and I haven't talked about this first.
No.
You don't know what side I'm on.
No, I don't know what side you're on.
I'm on the same side as you.
The same side as me.
I thought you'd be on the other side.
I thought you'd be on Rachel's side.
I thought you'd go, no, he shouldn't have done that.
Their relationship comes first.
To which I would have said, she put the relationship on a break.
Most couples, when they go on a break, they don't get back together.
They go, let's have a trial separation.
Well, that's the thing.
Any time, has that ever happened to you in a relationship?
Yeah, I've been on a break.
Where someone goes, I want to go on a break.
I think I said it. Really? Yeah, yeah.
Because that's just prolonging breaking
up. That's exactly what it was. Isn't
it? Yeah. And that's kind of what Ross
in Friends, I love how we're talking about them as
real people, that's kind of what he
says. He's kind of like, I don't know if
we're going to get back together. You said we're on a break.
You can apply it to real life.
That's the thing. We don't have to have this conversation about them.
It can be hypothetical. We can be talking about your relationship
if you've been in this situation.
Do you want to reopen the debate this afternoon?
I want to reopen the debate.
Were Ross and Rachel from Friends really on a break?
And is that okay?
Is it okay what he did because they were on a break?
Yes.
Which side of it are you on?
0800 dials at M or you can text us on 9696.
Bree and Clint, the hottest, most topical
radio content you've ever
heard.
We just love friends.
Bree and Clint on ZM.
The argument that's been dividing people,
friendships, couples, relationships
across the world for 23 years
is back. I didn't think there was a relationship
to jeopardise.
I thought we were broken up.
We were on a break.
That, for all I knew, could last forever.
That, to me, is a break up.
You think you're going to get out of this on a technicality?
I'm not trying to get out of anything, OK?
I thought our relationship was dead.
Well, you sure had a hell of a time at the wake.
Ooh.
The question really is, is that because if
they were on a break, does it
make it okay that Ross slept with
someone that night?
Yeah. It's not great.
I'm not saying he's done
the right thing. I'm just saying
I feel that I'm probably
on team Ross
because he hasn't
technically done anything wrong.
It's a tough one.
I love this text from the text machine and this makes you really think about it.
So someone on the text machine said,
when you're on a break, it's a break from each other to cool off.
It's to give yourself me time.
You can't sleep with someone else.
It's then not a break.
It's a break up.
But don't put someone on a break if you don't want
them to sleep with someone else. Well, I guess, yeah, you need
to talk about that, right? Don't. We'll have some
rules. We've got three calls. Do you want to do a
poll? This is the poll that's
hopefully going to end this argument. Take our
votes out of it? Take our votes out of
it because we're both on Ross's side.
Okay. Nisa.
Yeah. What do you think? Ross
and Rachel, were they on a break?
Yes, I agree with Rachel.
Oh, you agree?
Oh, you're on Rachel's team, Rachel?
Why?
Well, I'm sitting next to my husband, and he asked me what do I think,
so we had a discussion.
See?
And, yeah, I agree.
I think that when you're on a break,
it is just space to kind of get your head together,
see if you're in it for the long run
and if you want to continue with the relationship
or whatever, and then you decide
from there where you want to go. So why bother
with a break then? If it's not,
like if you can't go and do what you want, what's the point of a break?
Well, that's, yeah, that's the point
to see like if this is what you
want, you know, like to
Oh, my brain's being swayed!
Nisa, if I assume your swayed. Oh, no.
If your, I assume your husband agreed
with you, how would you feel if he didn't agree?
He better bloody agree.
Thank you,
Nisa. We're putting you in the Rachel column. Next
up is Kane. Hi, Kane. Hi, Kane.
How's it going? What do you think? Whose side do you want?
Ross or Rachel? Oh, definitely
Ross's. Of course you are.
And why, Kane? Oh, definitely Ross's. Of course you are. And why, Kane?
Well, she had his, like, jealousy, her workmate,
around there a couple of hours later.
And, well, when he rung up and the guy that he was jealous about was here,
of course he's going to go through the dirty.
Ooh, a friend's historian.
He knows the back story.
And to be honest, I thought that was very unfair of Rachel to do that to Ross.
I didn't appreciate that.
No.
Take Ross and Rachel out of it.
Let's say it's you and someone, Kane.
If your partner said to you, and remember that Rachel initiated this break, Ross didn't
want that.
Say your partner said to you that you guys are on a break.
You didn't ask for it.
Are you allowed to go and sleep with someone else?
Morally, it's wrong, but when you're on a break,
I'll take that as you're over.
Nobody ever comes back from a break.
No one ever comes back from a break.
Well, that's what people think.
I couldn't do it.
I couldn't do what Ross did, but I kind of see what he's saying.
Think of it as rebounding.
Was he not just rebounding?
That's a bloody quick rebound.
That's a LeBron James rebound.
Okay, thanks, Kane.
The last person we're going to go to is you, Sid.
Okay, so this is split.
Yeah, it's one in Team Ross and one in Team Rachel.
She's hardly a scientific poll.
It's only three people.
Sid, first of all, I need to know, are you a male or a female?
Male.
Okay.
Oh, this is interesting.
Traditionally, this would put you in the Ross column,
but I want to know.
Ross or Rachel, whose team, whose side are you on, Sid?
Rachel.
There you go.
Why?
Well, on top of them had, what was it?
They broke up that day and he slept with a girl at the end of the night, which is morally a bit weird.
Yeah.
They were friends for a long time.
There was a lot of emotional investment.
Even if there was a break, it wasn't really like a break from each other.
But the time also wasn't that long.
Also, I think he just, with the jealousy and everything,
he just took it too far.
So I guess the question we're really asking is a break.
Does a break allow you to hook up with other people?
What do you think, Sid?
That's tough.
I've been on a break, as I heard you guys saying before.
Yeah.
And I've gotten back with the person who I was on break with.
And did you hook up
with anyone else
on the break?
No.
If you had the opportunity
would you?
I wouldn't have.
No.
Okay.
There you go.
That's it ladies and gentlemen.
Nothing's sorted.
No we got a scientific poll.
We got two votes
for Rachel
and one vote for Ross.
You know what I love?
What's that?
I love that people
are just as invested
in this as me.
Yeah, 23 years on and here we are.
Bree and Clint on Zit Im.
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.
Recently you beat another Vodafone New Zealand music nominee in Kings.
Was happy with that win.
I read out plots to movies.
The first person who can guess what the name of the movie is
takes the point, and it's best of three.
So you verse the people, Bree.
It's 15 to me, two to the people.
You've got to say you do have a skill.
Surely I've proven that by now.
You've found your calling, yeah.
Maybe today's the day, Sophie.
Are you a movie buff?
I think I am.
Have you played this game in the car before?
Oh, yes. Yeah, okay. And how do you go? Are you generally this game in the car before? Oh, yes.
Yeah.
Okay.
And how do you go?
Are you generally quite good at it?
I'm usually pretty good.
Okay.
I'm going to start the first one.
You know the rules.
When you know the movie, you shout out your name as your buzzer.
You don't wait for me to finish.
Here we go.
Let's go, Soph.
First movie.
William is a London bookstore owner who's...
Brie.
Brie.
Brie.
Notting Hill.
Yeah!
Woo!
Did you know that one, Sophie?
I did.
Neck and neck, Soph. Sorry.
Sorry about that.
Next up to play,
Ursula.
Ursula.
Ursua?
No, so it's Ursula.
I'm kidding around.
Are you a movie person?
Kind of, yeah.
Ursula.
Here we go.
You buzz in with whatever variation of your name you like
when you know what this film is.
Movie number two.
Okay.
A depressed man is suffering from insomnia
when he meets a strange salesman and soon finds...
Brie.
Brie.
This has happened to me on this movie before.
Oh, I know what it is.
Come on.
I'm going to give you five seconds.
Are you going to sneeze?
It's a sneeze, yeah.
Limitless.
Limitless is incorrect.
Ursula, I'm going to give you a free guess.
If you get it wrong, I'll continue reading the plot.
Okay.
Sorry, I don't know.
That's okay.
That's okay.
We can keep going.
You want to chuck it in?
You don't want to throw a movie name out there just in case?
Anger management.
Anger management is wrong.
Continue reading.
He meets a strange salesman and soon finds himself living in a house.
Sorry, let me start this whole thing again.
A depressed man suffering from insomnia meets a strange salesman
and soon finds himself living in his house after his perfect apartment
is destroyed.
The two bored men
form an underground club
with strict rules.
Fight club.
Fight club is correct.
Get in!
I knew as soon as I said
the word club and fight
the game was over.
Sorry about that, Ursula.
Bye!
That's fine.
There you go.
That's 16 games to two points.
Some people more invested
than others.
