Starting point is 00:00:00 Z-Dams! Z-Dams! Let's go, go, go! Now let me see you dance! Z-Dams, Brie and Clint! Woo! Oh my gosh! Good afternoon, New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:00:13 Hello, Kia ora, New Zealand. Today, I'm just going to be honest with everybody, today is a sitting down show. Today I will be doing most of the show from a chair, whereas we'd normally stand. Just to give you a bit of a picture of what's going on in the studio, we've just eaten a whole lot of pasta. Just tried to perk ourselves up a little bit. And this isn't from being irresponsible either. This is just from a mammoth run.
Starting point is 00:00:37 You and I have been to the Music Awards. And we flew to Christchurch. For Cup and Show Week, which was fantastic. What a day Saturday was at Cup and Show. And then we flew back to Auckland yesterday for Friday Jams Live. In fact, if you attended Friday Jams Live last night and you're in a similar position to us, if you're having a sit-down day today, flick us a text.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Just let us know we're not doing this alone. 9696. How are you feeling? Yeah, and how good was yesterday? It's totally worth it. That was one of the best gigs I've ever been to in my life. It was a pretty proud moment. I looked around and thought, wow, this is something special.
Starting point is 00:01:11 And then we wake up to the news today that, speaking of concerts and amazing events, this is launched again. ZM Float with Tip Top Trumpet. Massive. Float is back thanks to Tip Top Trumpet. The line-up is massive. It is huge. You've got Drax Project, Mitch James, Jupiter Project, Saatchi,
Starting point is 00:01:33 the Balu Bagrada, who I've been checking out today. Those guys are awesome. Yeah, one of the guys is one of my good mates. And special guest Stan Walker, all on the bill at Lake Tikitapu, the Blue Lake in Rotorua. It is the only festival, the only music festival floating on water. If you haven't ever been before, this is the year to do it.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Tickets are going to go on sale pre-sales at midday on Wednesday and they're just $65. God, that's a good deal. It's a really good deal. So lots of good things to look forward to. Concert-wise, we're going to cover off plenty of Friday Jams live in the show today as well. But next, we've got another musician to celebrate, don't we? There's a big musician in history that it's been 15 years since a very significant moment.
Starting point is 00:02:18 And we're going to tell you who exactly that is. He's a special person to both of us. He's close to my heart. Look, he's a person who makes everybody feel good. Isn't he? And we're going to go into a bit of a battle with him straight after this. You don't want to miss this, New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:02:35 There was a clue in there for you somewhere too. You picked up on it. Brie and Clint, ZM. Bit of a milestone in music history today. The much-loved Guy Sebastian. It has been 15 years since he took the crown of Aussie Idol. This is his winning song, isn't it? Angels brought me here.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Is he the original Australian Idol? So he was the first one. And then Stan Walker came a couple of years later. Stan was in Australian Idol, right? Yeah. G-Smile Boy was in Australian Idol? She was in Aussie Idol. He's a trailblazer, Guy Sebastian.
Starting point is 00:03:14 He's done well for himself. You've met him? I've met him. What a nice guy. Lovely, lovely guy. Hang on a second. He turns from me. Lovely guy. Hang on a second. Magical memories.
Starting point is 00:03:31 He's a songbird. What an absolute songbird of our generation. You and I today, on the back of this news, 15 years, have been on a bit of a Guy Sebastian deep dive. Oi, let's be real. This is something I've wanted to do for months and it's never made the show. What's the best Guy Sebastian song? We've been waiting for it to be topical.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And guess what? Today it's bloody topical. Today it is 15 years. If you could see what I... If we're going to have this conversation, I've got opinions. Yep. And I know you do too. Strong ones, yes.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Is this a contender? Because if we were doing Stan Walker, Stan Walker's Australian Idol winning song is one of his best, Black Box. God, I love that song. Yes, and this is the song that launched Guy Sebastian. This was Stan Walker's winning song. Way better than Guy Sebastian's. Okay, chuck me a nominee from your list for best Guy Sebastian song.
Starting point is 00:04:32 It's got to be Guy Sebastian, Battle Scars. These are open. Woo! Now, I knew you were going to say this And I thought I might Because this is going to become a competition You know between me and you I thought I might catch you on a technicality
Starting point is 00:04:51 That this is actually a Lupe Fiasco song No, is it? Guy sings the chorus And Lupe does the verse But You're okay This song featured on both of their albums Okay, well that's alright then
Starting point is 00:05:04 It's a joint song It's a joint song. It's a joint song. I just think that there are a lot of really fun Guy Sebastian songs too. That one's quite intense. He's never going to top that song though. What about when he released this song? See, this is a banger for the whole family. Guy Sebastian, Like it like that.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Did that get used on an ad promo here in New Zealand? Oh, I can guarantee that was an ad for a new Ford Festiva or something like that. I'm pretty sure back home in Aussie it was for Coca-Cola. Yeah. It's got that sound to it. It's got the summer vibe. But that's the hallmarks of a good song.
Starting point is 00:05:42 It was a chain. Have you got any other nominees? Ooh, there's so many. What about Like A Drum? Oh, you want to go with Like A Drum. That was my backup song. Same vibe, same feeling, right? Such good vibes.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Okay, I got one more to chuck at you. Yep. What about this Guy Sebastian song, Who's That Girl? Oh, I'm getting a 50-50 from the producers. No? Okay, all right. No, I love that song. This is good, right? I think that's good.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Let's settle it. Let's go to New Zealand to find the best Australian Idol song, shall we? 0800 dial ZM. From that list, oh, maybe we've missed one. We could have missed one. What is the best Guy Sebastian song? Have we missed any?
Starting point is 00:06:38 New Zealand, 0800 dial ZM. This is great radio. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Guy Sebastian winning Aussie Idol What's the best Guy Sebastian song? We'll play the best one Yes That's a good deal
Starting point is 00:06:52 Or you can text us on 9696 What a day to be alive New Zealand Guy Sebastian 15 years Since he took the crown Of Aussie Idol. He might be, he might be our favourite Australian singer. I was going to say, he's up there. I don't know anyone who can say a bad word about Guy Sebastian.
Starting point is 00:07:21 If you don't like Guy Sebastian, that says more about you than it does about Guy Sebastian. You know? You need to take a hard look in the mirror. He's a nice dude. This afternoon, we've turned it into a competition because that's what we do. What is the best Guy Sebastian song? And you might forget he's got a lot of bangers.
Starting point is 00:07:37 He's got a hell of a lot of songs. This conversation has turned up a few more that we didn't think of. Michael's come through with one that we didn't have on our list. Michael, what song needs to be in consideration for the Best Guy Sebastian song of all time? Hey, guys. I'm a little bit biased, but I reckon, because it's got Jordan Sparks in it, Art of Love.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Now, what makes you so biased about that song, Michael? I don't know. I mean, I only know two Jordan Sparks songs, but between that one and Tattoo. What about No Air? Yeah, well, that was Chris Brown, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. Michael, are you sure you're not voting on
Starting point is 00:08:18 what's the best Jordan Sparks song of all time? Wow, wow. I mean, that would have to be No Air, though, wouldn't it? Okay, hey, very, very good vote. We hadn't considered it so thank you. It's a bit different.
Starting point is 00:08:29 A bit of a duet. Okay, let's go to Chelsea. Shows his versatility. It really does, really does and his international appeal. Exactly, exactly. You know,
Starting point is 00:08:35 he's bringing in superstars from around the globe. Chelsea, what's the best Guy Sebastian song? I definitely think it's Like It Like That. What do you like about this song so much Chelsea? I just make sure to get up and dance Like all the time
Starting point is 00:08:54 She likes it like that I've been really busy And I've heard it And I was like Play that damn song I'm sorry No no that's okay You're passionate
Starting point is 00:09:02 We like the passion He has that effect on people, Chelsea. It's totally fine. We can probably do with a song that's got that mood today as well. I do need to pick me up. What is the vibe from the text machine? There's a lot of songs coming through. There's a lot of Bloodstone.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Bloodstone. Actually, Tori called in about that one. Hi, Tori. Hi. Was that your vote, Tori? Yes. I've got to admit, and I'm embarrassed to say this, Tori. Hi. Was that your vote, Tori? Yes. I've got to admit, and I'm embarrassed to say this, Tori, I don't know Bloodstone,
Starting point is 00:09:28 but it's a Guy Sebastian song. You should be ashamed of yourself. It's one of his really best songs, I think it is. I agree, Tori. Let's have a quick listen to it together. I feel like you've gone into the back catalogue there a bit, Tori, but that's fine.
Starting point is 00:09:51 It just shows you're a true GS fan. No, I love it, Tori. What a banger. What a banger. What are we going to play? We're going to play one of these right now. What are we going to play? I mean, you know how I feel on the topic.
Starting point is 00:10:03 I know that this is the one you want to play. It's emotive. It is. It really is. But then we both managed to land on this song together. For the people of the country who have had a big weekend, whether you were part of Cup and Show, whether you were at Friday Jams Live,
Starting point is 00:10:29 or whether you've been getting punished by tornadoes and hail and snow in the South Island, what song do you think people need to hear today to pick them up? My, my waters. We are taking this so damn seriously. I'm being serious This is serious guys The vibe is like a drum
Starting point is 00:10:49 I feel like that's what we need What do the producers think? Let's go to them What do you guys think? Is that the song we're going to play? You can play that The one that Brie just found That black or blue
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah This is a hidden gem Oh don't chuck another one in the mix Oh sorry okay fine You're not being helpful Get it here we go No we're not playing A brand new Guy Sebastian song
Starting point is 00:11:17 No No Like A Drummer's great Like A Drummer's great Like A Drummer's great Or Ellie Producer Ellie's got something to say I do love the trill That Guy Sebastian does
Starting point is 00:11:24 In Battle Scars right in the middle. Yeah. I'm not going to try it. My voice is gone. But I do agree that Like a Drummer's a bit more upbeat for the way we're all feeling today. It is upbeat. Hey. Hey.
Starting point is 00:11:35 That'll do it for us, New Zealand. On his 15th anniversary, New Zealand's favourite Australian singer, Guy Sebastian. You're welcome, New Zealand. Brie and Clint. Sometimes I can't remember. Brie and Clint. Sometimes I can't remember. Brie and Clint on ZM. I saw this news story earlier today and I could not stop laughing. This is a serious news story today that people are reporting on.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Even the TV shows have jumped onto this. Listen to this. Arts competition in the uk has been rocked by a stinking row after two-time world champion gary anderson was accused of breaking wind on stage to put off his younger opponent well done now just just to confirm that was darts, not a different word, right? Yeah, it's a dart competition. That's been rocked by a fart.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Wow. You know, these guys that play the darts, they're reinventing sports. They don't look athletic. They don't train as in the gym. They're not in the gym. And now they've got new tactics to put each other off. It's actually a really serious story where the guy that's been rocked by this, which is Dutch opponent Wesley Harms, he's up in arms about it.
Starting point is 00:12:55 He said, he's put me off. He said, I'm not. He actually wants to take him to the judiciary. He's not Dutch, is he? No. He's not Dutch. Please, this story writes itself. He's been Dutch, is he? No. He's not Dutch. Please, this story writes itself. He's been Dutch oven. He's been put in a Dutch oven.
Starting point is 00:13:10 He's had a taste of his own Dutch medicine. Oh my God. There's big money involved in this sport too. And if he believes that someone else's bodily function has cost him the title, he's got real claim to something there. He said
Starting point is 00:13:26 twice world champion, that's who he's accusing, Scotsman Gary Anderson used it as a tactic to put him off. And I love the press conference after the match with the accused farter dart champion Gary Anderson
Starting point is 00:13:42 take a listen. Just spoke to Wesley and he said that it was smelly on the stage. I thought Wesley had farted on stage. Well, I think he thinks you did it. You can put your finger up the arse, there'll be no smell there. I thought he had s*** and I went, that's dirty. It was bad. It was bad.
Starting point is 00:13:57 It was a stink, I thought it was him. And you thought it was you. Oh no, hands up. Swear on my kid's life. So help me God, nothing crossed. The accents make this so much better as well You've got some Scottish guy Who you can barely understand
Starting point is 00:14:10 All I got out of it was Swear to God I'm not the one who farted When your main drink Your main sports drink Like instead of Powerade In a sport like that, is beer. Makes you gas.
Starting point is 00:14:27 This is bound to happen at some stage. To be honest, I'm surprised it's the first time that it's ever happened. But I mean, the All Blacks lost on the weekend. They've got another game to play next weekend. Maybe this is something they need to bring into their game. Imagine if they just bought on a red card onto the... Blue whistle, red card. Imagine they all pack down for the scrum
Starting point is 00:14:46 and all eight of them decide to do it at the same time. The air itself might even give them some forward momentum. Could get them over the line. We need to talk about the weekend and I want to talk about Cup and Show for a second. Oh, Christchurch. How good's Christchurch? How good is Christchurch? It's been a while since I've for a second. Oh, Christchurch. How good's Christchurch? How good is Christchurch?
Starting point is 00:15:05 Been a while since I've had a good knees up in Christchurch. And can I say, the city that shines, looking beautiful. Did not disappoint one bit. What a great day. Honestly, if you've never been to Cup and Show in Christchurch, you need to get yourself there. Because you've never had a racist experience like that, eh? No.
Starting point is 00:15:24 We've rocked up. And the part I love the most was how casual it is. Like I love that there's people parking their cars up and then they've got their boots open. People literally can have parties out of the back of their cars. It's great. You can't do that at the Melbourne Cup. No way. Also guys in suits, but also in jandals. You get both ends.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Oh yeah. Which I love. I love that there's diversity at the cup and show. I was actually overwhelmed with how lovely people were to us. It was actually so cool to get around and meet some people from Christchurch. Oh, as a new show, it's pretty cool to get out there and not have people throw full punnets of chips at you. They were half punnets.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And I thought, you've done a really nice thing. And it was more of a lob so he could catch and enjoy. Exactly right. No, it was really, really lovely. We were doing the thing where we took around the toy horse, Pick. And if you got a picture with Pick, you could win $1,000. Oh, this is great news as well. This is very exciting.
Starting point is 00:16:21 We've got a winner for that. There is a winner. And it's at our Facebook page or the Instagram page. We've uploaded the picture of, it's four girls. Yeah, we just, we uploaded the whole album to the computer and then just did a random scroll and we've got one with these
Starting point is 00:16:35 people in it. We don't know who they are. So we're hoping by the beauty of social media, one of you guys is going to know who they are so you can tag them. Well, seriously, did you expect us to make notes? Did you expect us to carry a pin and a paper? We were lucky enough to hold on to our camera
Starting point is 00:16:51 for the whole day. Mate, at one point, I saw a girl light a cigarette on a hair straightener. Like, that's how the day went, okay? Oh, it was so good. So we were never going to take notes. It was awesome. My favourite part about the whole day was when our team so there was you me producer ellie producer ben
Starting point is 00:17:11 we've gotten the car to go back to the hotel we've left the cup and show for the day and we thought we'd stop off at the bottle oh so we could get a few drinks and have them back at the hotel yes and we stop at this bottle oh the whole team's gone in and we were deciding what to get. And we've decided what to get. We've put it onto the counter and the guy at the counter goes, he looks at you, Clint, and how old are you? I'm 31. He says, I need ID from you, sir.
Starting point is 00:17:35 I was like, thank you very much. And then he looks at producer Ellie, which, how old are you, producer Ellie? I'm 26. He says, I need ID from you. And then he looks at me, I'm 28. He says, I need ID from you. And then he looks at me. I'm 28. He says, I need ID from you. And then we're all silent. And we all
Starting point is 00:17:51 look at Ben. How old are you, Producer Ben? 25. And then he looks at Ben and goes, you're fine. Bree and Clint on Zit Im. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger. If we've ever needed a birthday banger, I feel like it's today. Yeah, there's a fair amount of dust floating around the studio today.
Starting point is 00:18:15 And I think New Zealand as well. We've had a big week in this country. New Zealand's feeling dusty. We need a birthday banger to pick us up. This is where we take your birthdays. We figure out what was top of the charts on your 16th. Tim, we want your birthday banger to be that song. This is where we take your birthdays, we figure out what was top of the charts on your 16th. Tim, we want your birthday banger to be that song, okay? Ah, yep. Alright, let's do it.

You're in the running. There's one more to do. Hi, Jamie. Hi, Jamie. Hi there. What's your birthday, Jamie? 19th of September, 1988.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Oh, I feel good about Jamie's birthday. Yeah. You were 16, Jamie, in 2004 on the 19th of September. And this is your birthday bag. Oh, she's a banger. That is birthday banger. Oh, she's a banger. That is a banger. Juggernaut. One of the greatest party tracks of that decade.
Starting point is 00:19:54 And also, can I just say, one hell of a music video as well. Oh, not too bad at all. Not too bad. I recall those G strings very well. So does Jamie. I bet you do, Jamie. Jamie, this is your birthday banger, and I've got one thing to say to you.
Starting point is 00:20:10 It's get it in ya! Cheers, guys. You have a good day. You too, man. Bree and Clint. ZM. ZM, Bree and Clint. That is a great birthday banger from Eric Pridz.
Starting point is 00:20:22 That's Call On Me. That's just what I needed. We needed that. We needed a bit of that. Oh, yes. Yeah, good. Okay. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Sorry. How creepy is a whisper? Like a real audible whisper? Go. Let's test it. Hey, Brie, how are you going? It's me, Clint. Nah, I think it's just you.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Nah? Okay. Brie and Clint on ZM. From feel good to feel annoyed. We want to talk student loans for a second. Big day for one member of the team. Producer Bian, good afternoon. Hey, guys.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Today, you're celebrating a bit of a milestone. I know. Paid off the student loan. Oh, mate. Well done. Well done to you. You've paid off your student loan and you're only 25 years old. Correct.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Yeah, I don't like you very much. I only did two years of study though. Yeah, you studied at the same place as me, the New Zealand Broadcasting School. Yes. How much was your student loan to begin with? Great question. I want to say around 23-ish grand.
Starting point is 00:21:19 God, you've done well. Well, he's not a doctor. Yeah, true. Don't give him too much praise. Even to pay off, you know. The parents helped me a little bit. Did they? Yeah, they paid, I think, the first half or the first year.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Okay. They gave it a good crack. They paid your fees for the first half of your first year? Yeah, I believe so, yeah. Oh, that's a big help. Yeah. How good is it when the parents jump in and help? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Oh, yeah. It's so good. Help me, I'm poor. Help me? I'm a. Help me, I'm a student. Please, Dad. I just want to do well in life. So they took care of a quarter of it. That's still impressive, man, for you to pay off that
Starting point is 00:21:54 much. Yeah, in six and a half, seven years. Did you realise that was coming about? Because you said you just got an email saying, hey, paid off your student loan. Yeah, they're like, I'll just let you know, you've paid it off and we also owe you $600 plus because the company's still paying it. And I'm like, yep, you paid off your student loan. Yeah, they're like, I'll just let you know, you've paid it off and we also owe you $600 plus because the company's still paying it. And I'm like, yep, thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Fantastic. What a win. What a win, yeah. What is that? And this is a personal question because it's like a pay rise. I remember when I paid mine off and straight away your pay goes up
Starting point is 00:22:21 because I think you have to pay for your student loan above a certain threshold, but you have to pay 10% of your income to your student loan. It works the same in Aussie too. Yeah. They automatically take it from you. Yeah. Can we ask, what does that work out to as a pay rise for you?
Starting point is 00:22:39 I don't know the percentage of a pay rise, but I know how much more I'm going to get per month. Yeah. If that's how. Because you get paid monthly like we all do here. Yeah. How much more a month? It's just over about $400 now. Holy moly.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Yeah, so. That's decent. That's like, well, it is $100 a week extra. That's awesome. Drinks on you. Yeah. Well done, mate. Well done.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Nice work. There will be some student loans out there that make that look like an absolute pittance. They'll make it look like a student allowance. They'll make it look like course-related costs. I mean, imagine the medical degrees or like a lawyer degree. Yeah, but those people provided you, this is the thing, provided you finish, it's all relative because you earn so much more as a doctor or a lawyer. The ones that really hurt are when you start and then you drop out. Right, Clint? Okay. So it's all relative because you earn so much more as a doctor or a lawyer.
Starting point is 00:23:28 The ones that really hurt are when you start and then you drop out. Right, Clint? Okay. Okay. Excuse me. I'm just saying you would know how that feels. Yes, I dropped out. But I like to look at it this way.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I had like a fee saving because I didn't do any of the extra papers. So, you know. Good way to look at it. Yeah. A glass is half full. Yeah. That's what you say, who's... Good way to look at it. Yeah. Glass is half full. Yeah. That's what you say, right? Yeah, that should have stayed there.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Oh, 800. Dial ZM this afternoon. Here's a question. Here's your question. How much is on your student loan? And how old are you? Yes. Because it's all relative, right?
Starting point is 00:24:01 You could have just kept trailing that thing forever, Ben, but to have it paid off at 25... Yeah. My old flatmate, he's 23. His is 90,000. He's a pilot. Is he a pilot or is he training to be a pilot? He's training. My butt cheeks just got real tight. How much longer has he got to go?
Starting point is 00:24:18 I don't know. He should drop out now. It's too much. Let's see if you can do that. See if you can beat that. Or you can text us on 9696. Brie and Clint on ZM. Pretty exciting day for one of the members of our show, producer Ben from Christchurch. Paid off his student loan.
Starting point is 00:24:35 What a feeling. Done. There's no feeling like it when you look at that balance and it says nothing. You've got nothing to pay off. You're done. Finished. Until you go and get a mortgage and then it's like nine times as big. But don't worry about that for now. For now, you get a pay rise.
Starting point is 00:24:50 You don't have to pay your student loan anymore. Live it up. We're about to talk to some people on 0800DALZM. We're asking how old are you and how big is your student loan? Did you have one when you were in Australia? I did. I went to uni for a number of years. One of the years I pulled out of still had to pay for it.
Starting point is 00:25:05 My student loan ends up being a hefty one. Wait, what did you pull out of? Physiotherapy. You were just giving me crap for dropping out of broadcasting school. Yeah, but then I went back and finished one. But you're not a physiotherapist? No. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah, so that's a nightmare to begin with. Yeah. And then back in Aussie, if you don't start paying it off straight away, it gains interest. They don't call it that. And they also don't really tell you that. So for four years, I wasn't paying it off because I didn't earn over the amount
Starting point is 00:25:35 where you have to pay it off. Yeah. So I gained on top of my already student loan another five grand. What was your total amount? I think it was like $38,000. Could you, like if I sprained my ankle though, would you be able to help me? No idea. Oh, $800,000. Georgia, hi. Hi, how are you? Good, good. First of all, do we want to know how old
Starting point is 00:26:00 they are first? Yeah, how old are you first, Georgia? 23. And how much is your student loan? I have nothing to show for it and it's started out at about 15 or 16k. What do you mean you've got nothing to show for it? I dropped out after five months. Hey, but how good were those five months,
Starting point is 00:26:20 right? You would have got an O-week, you would have done some flatting. Best experience of your life? No. At least she's honest. Hey, Savannah. Hey. How old are you?
Starting point is 00:26:32 Oh, you sound sad. I'm 21. Oh, no. How much is your student loan? It's just around $23,000, maybe a bit over. I can see why you're sad. How's it that big and you're only 21? Well, I just finished my Bachelor's,
Starting point is 00:26:53 but with Psychology there's kind of a little bit more to go with that. Now, producer Ellie did a Bachelor in Psychology, didn't you, Ellie? Was that what you studied? Yeah, yeah, I know Ellie. Oh, you know Ellie? Bagley, Bagley. Yeah? Yeah, I sure did, I did I did and my loan was after three years
Starting point is 00:27:05 $34,000 cool but you're using it now aren't you I've got to deal with you mental bastards Savannah are you a psychologist um
Starting point is 00:27:14 no well you can't really get too far with a bachelor's so you kind of have to are you not going to finish oh like I can I can
Starting point is 00:27:21 I can finish but it depends like there's a lot to move into. Savannah, just come here and produce our show if you want to. That's what Ellie's doing. Oh, yeah, sign me up. I'll follow in the footsteps.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Yeah, good. Okay, cool. Alicia, hi. Hi. How much is your student loan, Alicia? So my student loan at the moment is $31,000. Okay, and how old are you? I'm 31.
Starting point is 00:27:43 So you've been paying that down for a bit or you're an adult student? No so I left home at 18 and went to uni and did two undergrad degrees back to back and I think my loan then was at about 58 grand and then I
Starting point is 00:28:00 went overseas for a couple of years and the interest blew it out to just over 80. Oh! I feel you. You sound like a professional student. Are you using any of your degrees that you did? Well, funnily enough, I am, and I also work at a university now.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Well, you're the diamond in the rough. Well done. Good luck with that. 31, you should have that paid off. Your 50th birthday should be quite good, I think. Ashley, hi. Hey, how's it going? Good, how are you? I that paid off when you're... Your 50th birthday should be quite good, I think. Ashley, hi. Hey, how's it going? Good, how are you?
Starting point is 00:28:28 I'm great, thank you. I just want to say thank you for having me on your show. I'm a huge fan of you both. Ashley. That's so nice of you. Are you looking for someone to help contribute to your student loan? Yes, I may need some help. What are we talking?
Starting point is 00:28:41 How old are you? I'm 23 and my student loan is about 73 and a half K. Do we have a fuel voucher for Ashton? What are you studying? Are you a doctor? No. So I got my law degree and then I got admitted to the bar. Oh yeah, that's good. Yeah. That's good, right? Yeah, no, it is really great, but it just sucks because when you're going through your law degree, the course-related costs don't cover your books for the year. So even though my student loan's like $73,500,
Starting point is 00:29:12 I probably ended up spending about $80,000 plus just getting my books. What kind of student loan doesn't cover books? That sounds like... Yeah, I know, right? Like course-related costs. And then you see the art students who have like $200, you know, with course costs. And then you're over here with your like $1,800 book bill. Let's be real, though. I think you're going to pay your student loan off a lot faster than the art students, right?
Starting point is 00:29:38 Oh, well, I hope so. Wait there. We'll get you a prize, okay? Cool, thank you. She needs one. There we go. I used all my books for doorstoppers. We know. Wait there, we'll get you a prize, okay? Cool, thank you. She needs one. There we go. Brie and Clint. I used all my books for doorstoppers.
Starting point is 00:29:48 We know. Brie and Clint on Zit Im. Hey, something over the last five months. Have you learnt this about me that I'm a woman of my word? Yeah. Even if I say something months ago, I always come through with the goods. Okay. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:04 This literally happened on air, I'm going to say two months ago. I've grabbed the clip of us talking about it, and today's the day. Take a listen to this. We all know the most important part of going to the gym is what you're wearing. Imagine how many yoga pants I could buy and then not do yoga in. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:22 But you know how comfortable yoga pants are to eat stuff in? I don't know, actually, because it's not socially acceptable for men to wear yoga in. Well, yeah. But you know how comfortable yoga pants are to eat stuff in? I don't know actually because it's not socially acceptable for men to wear yoga pants. Do you want me to buy you a pair of yoga pants? Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:32 2018. Yes. Can I get the high-waisted ones to come up with my belly button? Black? Yes. Done. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I'll hook you up, man. Oh, no. Do you remember that? Yeah. You remember when you remember that? Yeah. You remember when I said that? Yeah. And then you said you really wanted them? Look, I'm just going to assume where this is going.
Starting point is 00:30:52 You've got me some... Today's the day, Clinton Roberts! Can I just say that yesterday at Friday Jams Live, I wore the T-shirt that you made me wear. For those who don't know, I was in front of, I don't know how many people yesterday, wearing a T-shirt with a giant picture of my own face on it that underneath said,
Starting point is 00:31:08 I'm Clinton Roberts and I have a Kuru membership. Which I get is hilarious if you're in on the joke, but to those who weren't, I just look like an absolute W-A-N-K-E-R. There was one girl yesterday that goes, nice shirt, mate. And now you're going to put me in yoga pants. I'm going to live with you.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I'm excited. Are you excited? Yeah. Because guess what? From a comfort factor, I'm quite excited. From the pictures I know you're going to take and put on Instagram, I'm not excited. But, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:36 We're all high-end quality on this show. And our friends at Lululemon, God bless them, they heard that and we contacted them and they said, we need to hook you guys up. Good, I'm glad you got me good ones. Yeah. No, these are the real deal. And men, I'm telling you now, you can buy these.
Starting point is 00:31:53 These are men's ones. Yeah. These I'm going to pass over to you. That's a gift to you, Clinton Roberts. What size did you get me? I'm going to put these on right now. I hope you know. Put them on.
Starting point is 00:32:02 What size did you get me? I got you the right size. How do you know what size I am? Because I looked at your pants. When did you look at my pants? Oh, when you were intoxicated. So this is what we're going to do. You're going to put these on and you're not going to take them off for the next
Starting point is 00:32:16 two days, okay? Do you promise these are the high-waisted ones? They don't have much of an elastic band. Mate, they've got the pouch at the front to cosy up to your Mr. Mr. I was going to say, are they men's ones? They are men's ones. They are men's ones. You can buy these from Lululemon. And these are what you guys
Starting point is 00:32:32 wear when you go to the gym. This is what, no not just the gym. You can wear these anytime and that's why tomorrow you and I Clint are both going to wear tights to a buffet. And you're going to get the experience that all of us ladies get when we wear these beautiful creations.
Starting point is 00:32:52 I'm just bringing them up over the frankenbeans. How do they feel? And then over the top to the high-waisted part. Oh, there's a bit of comfort. Oh, they look good. There's a bit of comfort in there. Show me your bum bum. Well, I've still got my undies on, so I have a bit of comfort. Oh, they look good. There's a bit of comfort in there. Show me your bum bum. Well, I've still got my undies on, so I have a bit of VPL.
Starting point is 00:33:09 No, that looks good. You know what? I can see why you guys spend every hungover day of your life in these pants. I really can. I just want to. The movement is just. You look like Peter Pan. You know why this is good?
Starting point is 00:33:25 You know why this is good? You know why this is good? Why? Because it feels like I'm wearing nothing at all Mate And you're going to feel like that for the next two days When you do everything Because we've got activities planned And it's going to be a good time
Starting point is 00:33:39 Oh no I can't wear them in public No you'll be wearing them to the gym No no no no no no no We're going to go out in the streets and see what the people think. No, this is like a privacy thing just for us. No. Right? No.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Surely. No, you need to get the full experience. Let's just say nothing's going to be private in those tights. Do I look sporty at least? No. Oh. Do I have a butt for Lululemon pants? You do.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Yeah, good. Okay. Bree and Clint on ZM. Hey, just off the text machine, a lot of texts coming through saying that they're excited to see photos and videos of you wearing your new yoga pants from Lululemon. Can I say five minutes into yoga pants and chill? And I already get the appeal.
Starting point is 00:34:25 You're about that life. I don't believe that they've given me the high-waisted ones though. I don't believe because I know the ones that you girls like have got about 10 centimetres wide and it goes all the way around the middle. They hold in your muffin top. It's free flat tummy. So Lululemon are creating the
Starting point is 00:34:41 men's ones of those as we speak. So these are not them. Well they're still the men's top. those as we speak. So these are not them? Well, they're still the men's type. God, you're ungrateful. It's just not that type. I'm just saying. I think you look great. I think I need some women's ones.
Starting point is 00:34:55 You want some women's ones? I think for the true experience, we'll deal with that later. We'll deal with that. Okay. Friday Jams Live yesterday at Western Springs Stadium. The pitches coming out of it are incredible. I've just been searching the hashtag, hashtag Friday Jams Live, all the pictures that everybody put up.
Starting point is 00:35:09 In there, we found a video of something pretty special. There was actually, yeah, this is incredible. I love moments like this and that we can share it with these people because it's once in a lifetime. There is, do we say what it is or should we just bring them on? Let's bring them on.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Okay. Welcome to the show, Joey and Chelsea. Hi. Hey guys. Your video is amazing. Joey, I'd like you to tell us
Starting point is 00:35:34 exactly what happened at Friday Jams Live yesterday. Okay. So, first off, I just want to apologise for my, my dance moves.
Starting point is 00:35:46 They're going to watch the video. Just skip right ahead to 20 seconds or so. Yeah. First of all. No, I was feeling your moves, Joey. You were killing it. Secondly, what was going through my head, it's just something that needed to be done.
Starting point is 00:36:04 And because we both love music, old school and new, I figured, why not here? Perfect perfect place some pretty good music and stuff so literally the one place i wanted to do it and pretty stoked that i did it and what did you do joey um so in the but on the secondnd of October I had knee surgery So I kind of figured I'll be mean And play with it And pretend that You know, dancing hey And then pop my knee
Starting point is 00:36:32 Ouch Get down on one knee And the rest is history And you proposed, right Joey? Yeah, and I proposed Right then and there The video is so good because Chelsea,
Starting point is 00:36:46 you weren't expecting anything, were you? No, I was just obviously feeling myself and just me own mood, you know?
Starting point is 00:36:55 Yeah, yeah. And when he was like, oh, my knee, I was like, oh, babe,
Starting point is 00:37:00 you alright? Yeah, yeah. But then obviously you see my head go up and don't really care anymore. And he's like, hey, hey. And everyone's like, look, look.
Starting point is 00:37:09 And I was like, oh, my God. And I just started bawling. Yeah, it's an incredible video because you guys are obviously all surrounded by your friends. You're not expecting anything. Joey plays off the knee injury perfectly. And the bit I picked up in the background is these guys next were playing. And the track they were doing at the time was Wifey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:27 He didn't ask me to marry him. He didn't say, will you marry me? He said, will you be my wifey? Oh, Joey. Good from you. Yeah, it's very good from you. Can I tell you guys something about this song? I got married to my beautiful wife Lucy in February this year and this track
Starting point is 00:37:46 is the song we came back down the aisle to. Yes! Which was so weird because yesterday you looked at me when this was on and you said, told me that story and I was like, that's so incredible and who would have known you were proposing at that very moment.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Can you guys do me a favour and it doesn't matter where it is, can you make sure that this song is part of your ceremony somewhere? Of course. Definitely, definitely. That is so good. Can I just say, guys, my favourite moment about the whole video, once you've proposed and all that's happening, you guys just spent this really special moment
Starting point is 00:38:18 where you just were in the moment together and there's all these people going ballistic around you and you guys just were in that moment. Just you and Chelsea. It was incredible. We didn't care at that point. We figured we're in our own bubble at that point. Everyone else was just extras.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Also, how good was Friday James Live as well? Oh, my God. I mean, you guys had a better time than everybody else, but everyone else had a pretty good time too. Hey, do you mind if we put your video up on Facebook so everybody can see it? Of course. No worries.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Amazing. And a big congratulations from ZM and the Brie and Clint show, guys. Joey and Chelsea. Well done, guys. Congrats. The video's so good. Can we get it up, Ellie? We'll get it up very shortly.
Starting point is 00:39:01 You can check out the Brie and Clint page. Brie and Clint on ZM. Yesterday, Western Springs, Friday Jams Live, over 25,000 people. Ellie, we'll get it up very shortly. You can check out the Brie and Clint page. Brie and Clint on Zit-In. Yesterday, Western Springs, Friday Jams Live, over 25,000 people. It was an incredible atmosphere. There was Salt-N-Pepa, Eve, Genuine. Fat Man Scoop. Fat Man Scoop was there.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Lil Jon. The headline act. Your all-time favourite artist ever, Usher. Yep. Yesterday, this is behind the scenes stuff. There was opportunities to go backstage to meet some of the acts. There wasn't many.
Starting point is 00:39:38 There was very, very few. There was one spot to meet Usher and I said, it's got to go to my mate Clint. I put my hand up quickly because usually I'd go into a ballot for that sort of thing and anybody, whoever gets it, gets it. I really felt the need to put my case across yesterday and go, look, this is my guy.
Starting point is 00:39:58 This would be like if there was one opportunity to meet Channing Tatum, I'd be in. You know what I mean? That's exactly how it goes. That's the level. I got it. I got given the spot to meet Channing Tatum, I'd be in. You know what I mean? That's exactly how it goes. That's the level. I got it. I got given the spot to meet Usher. 15 minutes before the meet and greet with Usher,
Starting point is 00:40:14 I got a message from one of the ZM staff who was managing the backstage area, and it just said, Usher meet and greet cancelled. You were devastated. I was so gutted. Like, because this is the thing, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I've met one person who I truly fanned out over before, and this might sound a bit pathetic, but it was Katy Perry. And when I met Katy Perry, I've said this story before, I lost the ability to talk, and then I had a photo with her where I look like a tomato with small eye slits cut in. I didn't handle it well.
Starting point is 00:40:48 And I thought this is my chance of redemption. I'll go and meet Usher. I'll get a great photo. And I'll finally get to, you know. I'll do a peace up A-Town down with Usher. Oh, I had a Snapchat ready to go. I had all these things. Gets cancelled.
Starting point is 00:41:00 His manager, and this is nothing against Usher, his manager decided that they weren't going to do as many meet and greets as we originally thought and just the people who had won a competition to meet him. And I'm glad they got to meet him. Only they would get to go through. It was the moment where we found out our night's presenter, Cam Mansell, what a beautiful man. He's in the studio right now.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Hi, Cam. Hello. Comes out and says, I just met Usher. I had no idea Clint was such a massive fan. Like if I knew this, I 150% would have been like, Clint! Who were you passion backstage that you got to meet Usher? What happened? Well, basically there was a situation with another presenter where she was supposed to do an interview in Melbourne with Usher. What happened? Well, basically, there was a situation with another presenter
Starting point is 00:41:45 where she was supposed to do an interview in Melbourne with Usher. Again, last minute, the interview got cancelled. So they said, we'll try arrange an interview in New Zealand. At the least, we'll make sure you get a meeting group. So she was just like, oh, I don't think I'm going to get my meeting group. And I was like, oh, well, they've kind of promised it to you. So that's kind of like deal, you know.
Starting point is 00:42:05 You say something and someone should follow through with it. Which is how I believe life should be. So anyway, I just had a chat to one of the people who was organising all of that side of things with the meet and greets and stuff. And I was just like, oh. One of your friends, right? Maybe, yes.
Starting point is 00:42:20 You know this person. I do know this person. You schmoozed your way into the meet and greet. Is that fair to say? This wasn't even for me. This was just for the other presenter. Hang on. Who's this other presenter?
Starting point is 00:42:31 Belle. Did Belle get to meet Usher as well? Belle from Days. She is at the forefront of Friday Jams. She is the queen of Friday Jams. She is. And I'm happy for her. I'm happy for both of you.
Starting point is 00:42:46 I just had that one chance. Clint, as Usher says, you should let it burn. I sound like a spoiled brat. I sound like a big sookie bubba. You are. No, you definitely are. Cam Mansell, can you just tell me what's Usher like?
Starting point is 00:43:07 It was genuinely a situation of being in the right place at the right time, and I still don't believe it happened. It was such a brief meeting. It was such an honor to meet him because he's made such incredible music. He was super chill, super laid back, super nice. You meant to say it was terrible. But you're in and out very quickly. Did you get a photo? Yes, but I haven't seen it yet. You haven't seen it was terrible. In and out, very quickly. Did you get a photo?
Starting point is 00:43:25 Yes, but I haven't seen it yet. You haven't seen it? No. Why not? I don't know who took it. Oh, you didn't get to take your own photo? No. That backstage set up is so weird.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Honestly, it's not what you think it's going to be like back there. You've got to find that person. Yeah. Hey, Cam, like I said, really happy for you. I'll Photoshop it for you, Clint. We've got to survive Christmas yet, folks. Did you realise that?
Starting point is 00:43:49 I love Christmas. So do I. It's just a stressful time of year. It's expensive. It is expensive. You've got to buy presents for your family,
Starting point is 00:43:59 for some of your friends, the ones, you know how you've got those friends that you give Christmas presents to and then the other ones where you just go, sometimes work colleagues, guys.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Work is the one that I wanted to talk about. Yeah. This is the time of year when the email generally goes around about office secret centre. So this is controversial because the email's gone around within our team. Yep. And people have said, how much are we putting in? How much are we spending?
Starting point is 00:44:30 What's the present limit? And I imagine that's a lower limit. You have to spend minimum this much, right? Yeah. But very few people are going to spend more than that, are they? I always end up spending more. Do you? Yeah. That's good.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Because here at ZM, they've decided that there were two options, right? We only had two options. And we did it as a Facebook poll just in our office group. Should Secret Santa be $10 or $20? Unanimously across the board, everyone's come back and said $20 for Office Secret Santa. Which, so everyone's opted for the more expensive one. Yeah. I think because everybody wants to receive a $20 present,
Starting point is 00:45:07 I think that's it. There's not much you can get that you'd like for $10, right? Apart from a sandwich or... Oh. If anyone's listening and they get me, can you please get me a meatball sub from Subway? That's what you want? That's it.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Well, you could have two for $20. Oh, done. Two foot. I'm in. Two foot of meatballs. I'm in. Two foot of meatballs. I'm in. I think when it comes to Office Secret Santa,
Starting point is 00:45:32 because you never find out who bought it for you, right? It's a secret. You get given the gift and you don't know who got you and what gift you get. I believe there should be no price limit because what if you get a rich person from work? What if you get allocated the boss? Like what if we got like, you know, what if we got... Dean. Yeah, I was trying to think of our richest boss.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Dean. Imagine if you got him. He's got a reputation to uphold. And you get a car. You've got to get something really good, right? And that's the lottery of it all. That's the good thing. You might get like the apprentice or the intern or something who can't get you much at all.
Starting point is 00:46:06 But who cares? It's just a secret Santa anyway. You run that lottery that you're going to get the big one. The gauntlet. Also, rich people don't want your shitty $20 gift. To be honest. They won't even take it home. Their house is too flash.
Starting point is 00:46:16 They'll be like, I don't want this inside my house. Who wants it? Anyone else want this? Ew, yuck. Can I just say, not always the case. Really? My rich uncle, who's a multi-millionaire. This is the guy with the Ferraris, right? This is the guy
Starting point is 00:46:31 with seven Ferraris. Gave the crappiest gifts. God, they were crap. One year, McDonald's toys. What, free McDonald's toys? Yep. And then no joke, for three years in a row, his cranes, because he owns a crane company,
Starting point is 00:46:48 built the Sydney Olympic Stadium. He gave us Sydney 2000 merchandise. Right. I had a calendar that was Sydney 2000 branded. That was for the year 2000 and 2004. Oh, wow, that's a thought that counts, right?
