Starting point is 00:00:00 Z-DAMM! Z-DAMM! Let's go, go, go! Now let me see you dance! Z-DAMM's Brie and Clint! Kia ora everybody! Welcome to the show, Brie and Clint! How is everyone? How you feeling, mate?
Starting point is 00:00:15 You asking me specifically? Yes, you specifically. I am feeling very... what's the word I'm looking for? Tight. Tweet. Tweet. I've got my yoga pants on today. You got your Lulu lemons on?
Starting point is 00:00:28 Mm-hmm. These are the pants that you shouted me yesterday. I hope it's okay that today I've worn a modesty short just to cover the, you know, the Frankenbeans. The crotch area. That's exactly what it is. I don't think you need them. What? I don't think you need the modesty short.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Is that an insult? Kind of. I've worn the longest T-shirt that I have and just a little bit of, you know, just a little bit of coverage. I've worn my Lululemons today just to give you some moral support. And I also took you for your first workout in your Lulus. Yeah, the real place people wear fitness pants. To the buffet. We went to eight.
Starting point is 00:01:10 That place is awesome. Yeah, it's unbelievable. How many courses did we have? To be honest, just like a normal workout. I can't really remember it. It's all a bit of a blur. This is the time that I wanted those high-waisted ones as well, just to hold everything together. because you've got the ones
Starting point is 00:01:26 that come right up above your belly button. How are you going? Good. Yeah. It's the one time where I feel like I don't have a muffin top. Does it push the food back up into your chest, though? That's the thing I'd worry about. If there's no room for the stomach to expand, where does it go? Yeah, look, let's not talk about that.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Hey, great show coming up, but next we need to talk about one member of the ZM staff. You'll know this person too. They've been on the air a lot. Who's doing something we think pretty gross. And for once, it's not me. I'm stoked with that. It is, I'm just going to say it.
Starting point is 00:02:01 It's unhygienic. It's unprofessional. It's disgusting. And he's going to own that thing that he does next. And we'll debate it as a team, you know. That's just our opinion. You'll be able to have your say too. We want to hear what you think.
Starting point is 00:02:13 We'll get him in after Bruno Mars. Bree and Clint, ZM. Let me just say, brace yourself for what you're about to listen to because this is disgusting. It is foul. It is not good. It's unprofessional. We think it is anyway.
Starting point is 00:02:33 It's unhygienic. Welcome to the show, the person responsible for this dastardly deed, the man formerly known as Soundkeeper Gary. Hello, guys. Do you know what this is about, mate? I saw we had a staff meeting today. I saw something on the wall that said Gary yuck. Yeah. And I've been clueless ever since and wondering what this is.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I'm quite nervous because I have no idea what this could be. There's a few things you do that it could be. How do you get to work? How do you get to work each day, Gary? I e-bike. You e-bike to work? Yeah. When you get here, what do you do? I take my helmet off. Yeah. I take my earphones out and I go up and start working. If you've worked up a little bit of a sweat, which is not easy to do on an e-bike, but say you have, then what do you do? There's showers here at work, isn't there, Gary?
Starting point is 00:03:29 Yeah, there's showers, but... You like to have a shower and sometimes you're caught off guard. Sometimes you need to have a shower and you've forgotten a towel. Haven't you, Gary? That does happen from time to time. Okay. If you want to use the work showers, former soundkeeper Gary, and you haven't bought a towel, tell us what you'll do to dry yourself. Look, there's like 40 towels hung up in the bike rack.
Starting point is 00:03:58 40 towels that belong to people who work in this building. Strangers, most of those people, unknowingly leave their towels down there. To dry. To dry, and they think they're safe, not knowing that Gary from ZM is picking and choosing different strangers' towels to use. Mate. Guys, this doesn't happen heaps. Okay, it's like once a week, Tops.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Once a week? Gary! I thought you were going to say once a year. Once a week. Okay, okay, okay. Let's break this down. Let's break this down. I want to know what's going through your head
Starting point is 00:04:39 when you're doing it. What's your selection criteria? Are you looking for the nicest towel or are you looking for the driest towel or do you just grab the first towel that you can see? I go by colour. Yeah? You go by colour.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Do you sniff them? No, I don't sniff them. I go colour first. Yeah. And I want plain colours and, like, you know, your lavenders, your pinks. Because the way we're attacking this first is from a... And I know why he's choosing the lavenders and the pinks. Why?
Starting point is 00:05:04 Because they're more likely to be owned by a woman. Is that true? Is that true? I haven't thought about it like that, but they just look the cleaner. You're disgusting. We're looking at it
Starting point is 00:05:16 from a grossness perspective for you first, that you're rubbing some other stranger's towel on your body. We're not even worrying about the fact that some poor unsuspecting person is having Gary
Starting point is 00:05:27 wiped all over their body each time they go for a shower. What are you thinking, mate? You use that thing to dry your private parts. Gary juices are on it. Look, hygiene's not like the biggest priority on my list here. I grew up in a big family. We used to share socks and undies. Rugby changing rooms.
Starting point is 00:05:42 You just borrow each other's towels. With your family. Not with Sue from accounting you've never met. Can I also say, and I'm sorry to attack you, but this is the time to do it. You're lucky you're married. When you trot out sentences like, hygiene is not the biggest priority for me.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Mate. Far out. I can just imagine Fred who works up in marketing He's driving home right now and goes I'll leave my towel down there And it's lavender Oh no That's my good towel
Starting point is 00:06:14 Because I knew that didn't smell like me the other day I used that for my face wash Look, I'm going to own it I'll say that no, I don't think I'll get any complaints from this around the building. You think it's okay? I don't think anyone's going to say, hey, Gary, I have a towel down there. Stop it. You're delusional.
Starting point is 00:06:31 You are absolutely delusional if you think that's what's happening. I'll defend this. So you're saying you won't get any complaints from around the building. What about all of New Zealand listening right now? Shall we ask them? Like someone else's towel. Let's hang you out to listening right now. Shall we ask them? Like someone else's towel, let's hang you out to dry right now. 0800 dial ZM.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Is it okay to use a stranger's towel without them knowing? You can text us as well on 9696. You need to stay here for these results, okay? You need to stay here and face the music. It is the Gary roast. Bree and Clint on ZM. Oh, there's controversy in the studio this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:07:11 It's blowing up. And a vague feeling of, like, illness in the back of my throat. It's not great. No. Can I just ask, do you guys hang towels? Do we hang towels? Down there. No.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Downstairs? No, especially not now. Thank God I don't. You've got nothing to worry about then. This is Soundkeeper Gary in studio with us at the moment. He's been caught out. We've just found out that Soundkeeper Gary has been riding to work and on the days
Starting point is 00:07:35 where he forgets a towel, he just picks any old towel that's down in the workroom to use. Strangers from the building. People who are using those showers to go to the gym at lunchtime. That sort of thing. And you might think that this sounds occasional, and he considers
Starting point is 00:07:51 it occasional, but to him it's once a week. You'll use a random's towel once a week, Gary. You're literally playing roulette once a week. Towel roulette. In my defence. Okay, yes, I'm thrifty. Okay, we live in an eco-friendly
Starting point is 00:08:07 world. Oh, don't even try and spin this one in that direction. If I need a water bottle, there's plenty of good ones in the bin. I'm just saying, the towel rack in the bike shed is public property. You know what's eco-friendly? Bringing your own towel from home. And that's
Starting point is 00:08:23 all you have to do. Then you're welcome to the title of Captain Planet. You can have it, okay? But there is the possibility here, and we're going quite hard on you, that we're being a bit prudish, right, Brie? There is a lot of text coming through, and we've asked the question this afternoon. Oh, 800 dials at M.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Is it okay to use a stranger's towel? Let's go to Shelley first. Shelley, you have all the information. What's your opinion? Oh, it's so gross, Gary. It's so gross. What if somebody's got a disease? What if they've got dermatitis and their skin's on your skin?
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah, what if you get dermatitis? Yeah, what if they've got foot rot or tinea? Yeah, what if they've got those things, Gary? Gay bees. Yeah. Gary? Yeah, Gary. What about your wife, Gary?
Starting point is 00:09:02 What the hell, Gary? What if you didn't think of your wife, Gary? Hi, Gary. Hi. What are you talking about? Can you hear them what about your wife, Gary? What the hell, Gary? What if you didn't think of your wife, Gary? What's up, Gary? What's up, Gary? What's up, Gary? What's up, Gary? Ask permission, Gary. Oh, yeah, ask permission, Gary,
Starting point is 00:09:17 and I guarantee you won't be given it. Now, you've said that you picked the lavenders or the pink towels. On the text machine, someone's texted in, teach him a lesson by putting out a crab-infested lavender towel as bait. He'll soon stop. Life's a risk. You've got to roll the dice. You've got all the lines.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Rosalie, hi. Welcome to the show. Hi. Is it okay to use a stranger's towel without permission? Definitely not. What are your thoughts for Gary, Rosalie? I'm a complete germaphobe. I don't even wash my towels with my son's towels
Starting point is 00:09:51 and it's cleaning them, so why would I use someone else's towel at all? Okay, well, take it out of there. What if you forget something? Like maybe you forgot a lunchbox. You just, oh, I'll just borrow a Tupperware container. Yeah, because you can wash it. It's plastic. Also, oh, I'll just borrow like a Tupperware container. Yeah, because you can wash it. It's plastic.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Also, Gary, you don't wash, you don't rub a lunchbox on your bum. You don't. Well, it's Gary. We don't know you. That's the thing, Gary. This towel goes
Starting point is 00:10:15 into very intimate places. Crevices. I'm just picturing you down there with it between your legs and running it back and forth to dry your undercarriage and then some poor guy's
Starting point is 00:10:24 coming and drying his face with it. that's the bit that I don't think you understand that's in orifices it shouldn't be in hey Matt welcome to the show what do you think Matt is it okay Gary wow I just want to know I want to know your thought process because you're not using any other form of transport, so why aren't you taking a towel every time? Yeah, because I pack my bags. Well, actually, I don't really pack them very well.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I just forget my towel. I go computer, lunch, shoes, someone else's towel. This isn't really a hygiene issue. It's a time management issue, he's been Gary. I'm buying you like eight towels for your birthday. Seriously.
Starting point is 00:11:10 There is a text message here as well that we've received. This text, oh God, this is legit, comes through on the text machine, Gary. None of this is rigged, okay? I want you to understand
Starting point is 00:11:19 this is the real mood of the nation you're receiving at the moment. There's a few texts saying Gary's a rock star, Gary a legend, but there's also one text that says, I used to flat with Gary in Dunedin and he would use our exfoliating gloves and thought that was okay. Hi, Courtney. One thing you will know about our show, Clint, is we're the leading show for maritime and aviation news.
Starting point is 00:11:48 That is absolutely true. It's one of my proudest achievements in radio. We're pretty proud of that title, and that's why I'm bringing you some aviation news this afternoon. Pretty exciting. Because I think our maritime news sound effect is still broken. Is it? I'll just check. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Yeah, no, it's still broken. Is it? I'll just check. Hang on. Yeah, no, it's still broken. That sounds pretty spot on to me. We're not going back down this hole. We are doing aviation news. Sounded like a ship. Air New Zealand, pretty exciting news from them out today that they will be replacing a lot of their A320 fleet with a new plane. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And it's called the A321neo, which is exciting. It's an Airbus. It's an Airbus, yeah. So these are the planes that I think that are going to fly from New Zealand over the ditch and for the longer haul flights. You know, I don't mind an Airbus these days. For the longest time, my stance was if it ain't Boeing, I ain't going. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:12:43 I'm really warm to the Airbus, especially the A320. So this sounds like an improvement. Please tell me more. God, I love some aviation chat from you. So do I. So good. The most exciting news about these new planes that are going to roll out, I think from the next couple of years, they're going to start replacing them over the next six years, is that the seats are going to be bigger and that's all of the seats. That is something that I, as a larger man, am so happy to hear. So apparently the aisle seats and the window seats are all going to be gaining a centimetre width. Oh, just a centimetre?
Starting point is 00:13:18 Just one centimetre. In width? In width, yeah. Over the next six years? Yeah. Because I plan to gain more centimetres in width Over the next six years than that Well this could be exciting for you then
Starting point is 00:13:29 I mean the worst seat is the middle seat Yeah We all know that I hate a middle seat It is the worst seat to get Especially if you're flying alone With strangers Not great
Starting point is 00:13:40 They're set to gain an extra three centimetres Okay So they're going to have an extra three centimetres. Okay. So they're going to have the biggest width out of all the seats because at the moment the seats are all the same. Yeah, they're all the same. I'm pretty sure they're all the same. Yeah. Which it was interesting to me, which I think this is something you need to share with the people.
Starting point is 00:13:56 We discussed a little while ago about how much it sucks to be in the middle seat. Oh, my middle seat rule? Yeah, the middle seat rule. Someone else, I didn't invent this, someone told me this, and once you hear it, it makes so much sense. You said to me, if you're in the middle seat rule? Yeah, the middle seat rule. Someone else, I didn't invent this, someone told me this, and once you hear it, it makes so much sense. You said to me, if you're in the middle seat, this is what you should get. So the window seat gets the window. The aisle seat gets the aisle.
Starting point is 00:14:16 The middle seat gets both the armrests. Brilliant. It's the only advantage you get sitting in the middle seat. So, you know, because sometimes people jostle you get sitting in the middle seat. So you know because sometimes people jostle you for position with the armrests and they'll just passively aggressively elbow you off the armrest. Rightfully if you're in the middle seat
Starting point is 00:14:33 you should get both of the armrests. You deserve both armrests. But we need to say this thing out loud more often because it's not like you're going to be in that middle seat and say you're squashed between two bigger people and you feel like, I don't know, maybe you're a bit intimidated or something, you're not going to go, excuse me, do you know the rule?
Starting point is 00:14:50 I heard on the Brigham Clint show, the leading maritime and aviation news-based radio show that the aisle gets the aisle and the window gets the window and so I should get both the armrests. I've just realised what we've done. What's that? There's going to be a lot of angry people coming after this show. Why?
Starting point is 00:15:07 Because. What if people don't agree? Oh. You know there's always the people that don't agree. Whoa. What, angry window seat people? What? We should probably get out the rule about the man spreading.
Starting point is 00:15:18 What's that? Don't do it. Oh, yeah. It's a good man spreading rule. But we need to spread that rule. Spread it with your friends, New Zealand. That's your latest dose of aviation news. Just check that horn one more time.
Starting point is 00:15:35 You still broke him. Spot on. It's a lovely ship. Clinton Roberts, I think I've received some of the best news ever in the last 24 hours. If you know me well, you will know that my favourite food is... Garlic bread. Someone has invented probably the best thing that I have heard
Starting point is 00:16:01 for a long time. We talked about the garlic chips on this show. Yeah, they were disappointing. It was a bit of a flop. Bit of a disappointment. Great idea. Great idea. Poorly executed. Didn't pull it off. News out today that Domino's
Starting point is 00:16:15 are releasing a garlic bread crust. Okay, I can get on board with that. We've had the cheesy crust. Did garlic, because I know Pizza Hut do a good one. Did Domino's do a good garlic bread? Because that's what it all comes down to, right?
Starting point is 00:16:31 So apparently, other than a pizza, garlic bread is the most ordered item off the menu. Really? From Domino's. Okay. It's very popular. I don't know why they haven't thought of this sooner. It's ridiculous that it's not been on the menu. We got cheesy crust. I know't know why they haven't thought of this sooner. It's ridiculous that it's not been on the menu. We got cheesy crust. I know, cheesy
Starting point is 00:16:47 crust, but you would have thought garlic bread crust. It was even a chicken crust for a while where it had like chicken breast in the crust. There was a hamburger crust. There was hamburger crust. Remember that? Garlic bread just makes sense. Just makes so much sense. Yeah, okay. And I was so excited to receive this news. Yeah. And then the
Starting point is 00:17:03 thing that really has rocked me, because I read it off the NZ Herald, it said, available in Australia. Oh, gutted. You're not allowed to go back there. So that's a problem. So this is available from December in Australian stores. I thought I need to put in the call for all of us here in New Zealand
Starting point is 00:17:23 and I need to see whether or not we're going to get it here in NZ. Sure. So I put in a call this afternoon to one of my really good mates that works at Domino's. Yeah. And this is what happened. Hi, thank you for choosing Domino's Pizza. You're speaking with Jackie.
Starting point is 00:17:42 How can I help you today? Hi, Jackie. I was just calling. I just read an article online that Domino Pizza. You're speaking with Jackie. How can I help you today? Hi, Jackie. I was just calling. I just read an article online that Domino's in Australia were getting garlic bread crust on the pizzas. And I was just wondering, because apparently that's coming in in December over in Aussie. I was wondering if we were going to get it here.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Oh, no idea. I have no idea when we will get it. Okay. So you haven't heard anything from head office? No, not at the moment, sorry. Are you keeping a secret, Jackie, from me? No, no, no, not really. Because, yeah, I didn't hear anything about that, so I can't say anything.
Starting point is 00:18:19 So you're not saying that it's a definite no? Actually, I don't know. Are you keeping all the garlic bread crust for yourself? No. You promise me? Yes, because we didn't get anything at the moment. So actually, we didn't know. So what is that garlic bread crust?
Starting point is 00:18:43 Because, yeah, different country, maybe different type. So I can't say anything. You wouldn't lie to me, hey? No, it's not like I wouldn't like you. It's like I don't know like this. So how can I tell you like this? That's fair. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Okay, so you haven't heard anything. If you hear something, Jackie, can you let me know? I'll give you a call back and then you can share that information with me. Yeah, you can call me maybe on December to double check it. At the moment I didn't hear anything about this. Alright, if I hear something I'll let you know and if you hear something
Starting point is 00:19:16 you let me know. Oh yeah, what's your name please? Bree. Yeah, okay. Alright, I got your back Jackie, you got mine. Yeah, if I got any information I'll let you know. Alright, cheers Jackie, have a good day, Jackie. You got mine. Yeah, if I got any information, I'll let you know. All right, cheers, Jackie. Have a good day. You too.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Bye-bye. See you, mate. Bye. I love Jackie. Bree and Clint on Zit Im. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
Starting point is 00:19:39 This will cheer you up, mate. Yeah. A birthday banger for a Tuesday. We find your birthdays. We figure out what was top of the charts on your 16th. Then we play one in full. First up is you, Finn. Hey.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Hi, Finn. Hey, how's it going? Good, thanks. What's your birthday? 22nd of September, 1998. Okay, Finn, you were 16 in 2014 on the 22nd of September. And this is your birthday bang. Yeah, the Vodafone theme song.
Starting point is 00:20:08 It is at the moment. Sigma, changing. Yeah. How do you feel about that? Yeah, it's pretty good. It's a banger. It's upbeat. It's a good tune. Yeah, cool. Alright, let's see if that's a winner. Let's go to somebody else. Let's go with Arpie. Arpie, hi.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Hello. Hi. What's your birthday? 23rd September 1980. Okay, Arpie, you were 16 in 1996 on the 23rd of September and on that day this was number one. R.I.P. Warren G. This is a sexy, sexy R&B jam.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Are you feeling that, Arpy? Oh, totally. Sitting in my car, absolutely loving it. Okay, let's see if it's good enough to take our birthday bang. Do you? I really like it. Do you like Warren G? Yeah. How good was it when the DJs played Regulate at Friday Jams Live?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Probably one of my favourite moments. Yeah. That was a tune. Oh, God, there's a lot of favouritism going towards that song. Let's see if Wendy has a birthday banger that can beat it. Hi, Wendy. Hi, Wendy. Hey, how are you?
Starting point is 00:21:16 Good, thanks. What's your birthday? 8th of July, 1983. Okay, Wendy, you were 16 in 1999 on the 8th of July, and on that day, this was number one. Oh, this is good too. This has to be from one of those American Pie movies, right? Like, it's got to be the theme song to...
Starting point is 00:21:38 Was that the theme song to Dawson's Creek? Mmm. No, it's not the theme song. No? Someone will know. What do you think about this, Wendy? Do you like it? Does it bring back good memories?
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah, I'd just say Warren G, to be honest. Do you? Yes, Wendy. We're not going to go past that then, are we? I think it's Warren G this afternoon. Regulators! I wish it was. Not quite.
Starting point is 00:22:14 This is a tune, though. This is a birthday banger for you, Arpie. Awesome. Yeah, Arpie. Get it in ya. That still isn't quite caught on. Not yet. That's right.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Bree and Clint, sit him. Sit him. Bree and Clint with a birthday banger and a public apology. That was Warren G. A birthday banger for Arpy. Yes, you said R.I.P. And I may have gone out with an R.I.P. Warren G. He's alive. He's alive.
Starting point is 00:22:48 He's not even that old. I got him. Who'd you get him mixed up with? Nate Dogg. Right. He worked with Warren G. I sincerely apologise. Regulators. I sincerely
Starting point is 00:23:03 apologise. We're damn good too. To Warren G especially. Geek off the street. You might remember this going off at Friday Jams Live if you were there. Oh, by the way, this song that we were talking about before. Kiss me. Kiss me, Sixpence and I'm the Richer. The movie was...
Starting point is 00:23:18 She's All That. She's All That is the one we were thinking of. Thank you on the text machine. And the song you were trying to think of for Dawson's Creek was... Paula Cole, I Don't Wanna Wait. That was the theme song for Dawson's Creek. Wait for it. R.I.P. Paula Cole.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I mean, I don't know if she's dead. Why are you doing that? I'm just saying it for everyone now. Stop chucking out R.I.P. R.I.P. me. Brie and Clint on ZM. Found out today that my friend Brie has something in common with Kendall Jenner. I always knew I would.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah, you and the Kardashians. I was always hoping. You could be friends. You have the same phobia. As Kendall Jenner. She was on James Corden's show, whatever it's called, Late Night with James Corden or something like that. Late Late Show.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Is that what it's called? Yeah. She was talking about her phobia, which is trypophobia. Listen to this. Have you got any phobia? Is there anything you're scared of? What? I'm trypophobic.
Starting point is 00:24:21 What does that mean? I'm afraid of tiny little holes. What do you mean? All together, like a cluster of tiny little holes, they genuinely freak me out. Later today, go Google trypophobia and the pictures that pop up with it, that freaks me out. Trypophobia.
Starting point is 00:24:36 My heart is beating so fast. This is not a joke. Can you explain it a little better than she did? So essentially, I have a fear of clusters of little holes. People in the office think it's funny to mess with me. Jordan, our promos girl, always wears this. I'm getting itchy just thinking about it. Where's this top?
Starting point is 00:24:58 You're really uncomfortable. I've had it since I was the youngest I can remember having it was when I was about eight and I pulled off this piece of bark from this tree and I think it was termites had eaten through this tree and there was like a cluster of holes and I was like, I can't deal with it. What does it do to you?
Starting point is 00:25:18 It makes me feel sick. Oh. Do you, I mean... My hands are so sweaty. I didn't know it was that serious. I know I don't really want to upset you too much, but are you in the mood to face your fear this afternoon? No, I'm in a fragile mood already from the weekend that we've just had.
Starting point is 00:25:34 Right. Well, we don't have anything else planned, so... Just prepare with me now to face... I'm just warning you, this isn't going to be good. Your trypophobia. Okay. I have a number of pictures that are all trypophobic
Starting point is 00:25:51 images and I'm going to hold them up one by one and I just want to know your natural reaction to each of them. Okay. We're going to start out. There's ones that I really dislike more than others. Yeah, okay. And people who are also trypophobic will know, well, they might be different, but the human ones,
Starting point is 00:26:08 and ugh. Let's start with something easy. Okay. How do you feel about a sponge? Oh, yeah. I'm okay with that one. Normal yellow sponge. It's got a cluster of little holes on it, though.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah, but they're not all the same. Oh, okay. So it's the symmetry that you need. That one's though. Yeah, but they're not all the same. Oh, okay. So it's the symmetry that you need. That one's not too bad. I don't love it. How about this dried sunflower seed? It's okay. I've put it down.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I've put it down. No, I have put it down now. I have. I promise. I promise. I promise. I promise. Oh, my God. I'm going to cry. We've got it down. No, I have. I have put it down now. I have. I promise. I promise. I promise. I promise. Oh my God. I'm going to cry. We've got six to get through. Okay. That's two. That's one. To be honest, that's one of my most hated ones. I've got goosebumps. Really? That's one of the main images that comes up when you Google trypophobia. Yeah, I really don't like that. Tell me when you need to stop. Okay. But how do you feel about
Starting point is 00:27:01 honeycomb? Oh yeah. It's okay. Honeycomb is more the like hexagons, right? Yeah, I don't mind that one. So it's the roundness that you're worried about. Yeah, I don't hate that one. Okay, let's take honeycomb down. How do you feel about... I'm itchy. And I'm going to hold up the picture to you.
Starting point is 00:27:21 How do you feel about strawberry skin? No, I'm okay. Strawberry skin. So think of the red bumpy skin with the little seeds in it. They're not holes. Oh. So you're okay with dimples? Yeah, I'm okay with that one.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Okay. And I love strawberries. You might be fine with the next one too then. How do you feel about this picture with your trypophobia of a close up image of someone's nose with blackheads. I'm okay with that. Oh! You're fine with
Starting point is 00:27:52 that one too? Yeah. Have we just got you over your fear? No, that's not holes. I think maybe we've got you over your fear. How about this picture of Donald Trump's face with holes in it? It's a picture of Donald Trump and they've photoshopped holes all over his face. This is the number one image doing the rounds behind that hand that's got the holes in it at the moment for trypophobia.
Starting point is 00:28:17 I don't like it. I want you to look up and have one more look. I can't. Go on, have one more look. It's gone now. You're not crying. I'm crying a little bit. I can't. Go on. Have one more look. It's gone now. You're not crying. I'm crying a little bit. You're not.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I really don't like it. Then why did you agree to do this, Pat? Because sometimes you need to push yourself. Yeah, you really did. And to be honest, I thought I was getting over it. Are you okay? I feel exhausted doing that, honestly. It's so bad.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I'm just so glad you didn't show me the one of like the hand or the foot. Oh, no, the hand and the foot are disgusting. The hand and the foot. We could do that next. No. Or we can take some calls from people who have weird phobias. I think I weed a little bit. Like tropophobia.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Oh, wait. This is our question for you this afternoon. 0800 dial ZM. What's your weird fear? Like trypophobia? Yeah. Do you have something irrational? We shouldn't say weird. I can't actually even think. I can't think straight. All I can think about is that last photo. What, this picture of Donald Trump?
Starting point is 00:29:18 Don't show it to me again, you bastard. Bree and Clint on ZM. We just learnt about Bree's phobia of small holes. Clusters. It's called trypophobia. She shares it with Kendall Jenner. And we're learning quite a few New Zealanders as well.
Starting point is 00:29:38 A lot of other people are coming to my aid saying horrible that you've done that to me. Oh, okay. I said I wanted to do it. Yeah, and I did feel bad when you started crying. Yeah. It wasn't like it. I'm okay now. You're okay?
Starting point is 00:29:53 Kind of. To be honest, that will probably stay with me all afternoon. Okay. Do you want to hear about some other people's weird phobias? I'd love to hear some other weird phobias. And I hope weird is not offensive. Let's call them irrational. No, they might be rational to you. Just phobias. Hi, Christy.
Starting point is 00:30:08 What is it for you? Oh, you're talking to me? Oh, Kirstie. Sorry. That's alright. I forgive you. My husband has got a crazy, crazy ass fear of couscous. Couscous? Of couscous? Couscous. Like he's genuinely afraid of it.
Starting point is 00:30:23 It's amazing if you're in the supermarket, you've left a bag of it at him, he starts screaming. Really? That is hilarious. Couscous. So nice they named it twice couscous. How can he be afraid of a food group? Why is he so afraid of it, Kirsty?
Starting point is 00:30:36 Because he is weird. I don't know. You married him. I can't explain it. Yeah, that's a good one. You can't explain that a lot of the time. I can't explain why. Yeah, that's a good one. And you can't explain that a lot of the time. I can't explain why I'm afraid of clusters of little holes. I can't explain why I have a phobia of fruit that other people have opened.
Starting point is 00:30:54 It doesn't make any sense. Old fruit, that's your fear, right? Used fruit, I like to say, but yeah. Zahina, is that it? Zana. Yes, that's it. What's your irrational fear, Zana? I'm afraid of chickens.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Chickens? Yeah. Bad chicken experience? I don't know why. Were you pecked as a kid? No, nothing. Just hate them. Absolutely hate them.
Starting point is 00:31:15 I want to know, do you eat chicken? Yeah. What? When they're dead and cooked, it's fine. When I'm in charge, When I'm biting into their flesh That's when I'm Yeah I'm not an idiot
Starting point is 00:31:26 Okay, but a live chicken What is the idea of Say you get some grain In your hand And you go over And you hold it into the chicken coop Don't do that to her And the chicken's just pecking from your hand
Starting point is 00:31:38 What does that do to you? No, because I wouldn't do that No, I know But imagine you're doing it No, no And you're feeling that little picky beat Throw it away. Just nibbling.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Throw the grains at the chicken. And run away. Zana is afraid of chickens. What is it for you, darling? Darian? You're in close. Darian? What is wrong with me today?
Starting point is 00:32:00 I just can't, I don't think I can see it. Can you do the names from now? I'll do the names. Darian, what's your irrational fear? So my fear is nylon stockings. Okay, why? So I can't explain it either. It's just one of those things where if it touches me,
Starting point is 00:32:17 like the feeling of it, I literally freak out and I do it exactly what you did when you saw those holes. I can't handle it. Was it touching it or what if you just see it? What if you see someone walk past with some stockings on? Yeah. If they get closer to me than a metre, I start getting all sweaty and start freaking out. I tell you what, high school winter in Tapo was an absolute traumatic experience for me
Starting point is 00:32:41 because everyone wore no stockings and shoes. What about when you see someone with a letter in their stockings? Oh, that is the worst because I know how they got it. It's probably from like when they, you know, when you get goose bumps
Starting point is 00:32:51 and you get the hair and it sticks to the stockings. That's, oh, it's making me freak out as I think about it. Yeah, you're strange. Yeah. Interesting one.
Starting point is 00:33:01 There's a few interesting ones in the text machine. Yeah. And they've got real weird names. Like one is, my fear is pyrachioneophobia. It's a fear of stickers. Really? Mm.
Starting point is 00:33:15 I don't know what about the stickers would be scary. Or sigdonglobophobia. It's a fear of cotton wool. Right. I wonder if every phobia has a name too. Hi, I'm going to get this name right. Is it Matt? Yes, mate.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yes. Well done. One out of four. I called the last girl darling. Well done. Good work, man. What are you scared of, Matt? Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Even talking about the chickens picking at the grains. Bloody hell, that got me feeling disgusted as it was. But I've got something that's called misophonia. Which is misophonia, not the soup. But it's about hearing someone eat. So as soon as I hear someone eat, I just get goosebumps and want to vomit. So what do those ASMR videos do for you? Oh, yuck. Horrible.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Really? What about drinking? Yeah, what about... I used to be a real loud eater as a kid, and my parents just rolled it into me. I can't even sit at the same dining room table as them anymore. What if it's... Because I can hear them.
Starting point is 00:34:11 What about fake eating? I want you to do this with me, Matt. I want you to keep listening as we go. Yeah, no, that's fucking not real. Oh! Matt! Matt! You know what I've got.
Starting point is 00:34:21 At least we know it's a real phobia. F-bombs on the radio. Absolutely shutting down the internet today is the iPhone hack that is absolutely blowing people's minds. I learned this just today and it is so good. And you've probably heard people talking about it. Fletchvorn and Megan were talking about it this morning. People are posting it on their social media.
Starting point is 00:34:47 It's going crazy. But if you haven't heard, it's where you hold down the space bar when you're writing a text message and you can actually move the cursor anywhere inside where you're writing the text message instead of trying to use your fat thumb to do it inside the text. The best bit about it is it's so accurate. Yeah. to use your fat thumb to do it inside the text. The best bit about it is it's so accurate. Like literally your thumb becomes a mouse and it'll just move anywhere for you.
Starting point is 00:35:10 If you've written a whole paragraph and there's a spelling mistake right back up the top, boom, just hold your thumb down on that space bar and just push up a little bit. Mind blown. Crazy. That's a game changer. Isn't it amazing the thing that's blow our minds these days?
Starting point is 00:35:24 It's crazy. Our parents were like, what? We can get from Auckland to Sydney in just three days? Whereas us, it's an iPhone hack. Amazing. We're like, oh, I can use my thumb to fix my spelling mistakes. Sick. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I thought I would share a few more iPhone hacks, which you probably already know, but maybe you don't. Yeah. Just to see if I can, but maybe you don't. Yeah. Just to see if I can blow people's minds this afternoon. Yeah, go on then. And I want you to get your iPhone, Clint. Don't get your iPhone if you're driving. You can do this when you get home.
Starting point is 00:35:53 You can test these out. Did you know the iPhone hack? Don't unlock your phone. Sure. So say you're in a situation where you need to call, like you need to send an SOS signal. I want you to press the lock button on the right of your iPhone. Just once? Really quickly three times.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Or maybe it's four. Four times. Nothing. Five times? Five times. Give it a go. The lock button five times. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Oh, there we go. It's come up. Five times. So what have you got now? I've got the ability to turn the phone off, to access my medical ID, or an SOS emergency dial swipe button. Well.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Well, mind blown. I mean, if it was an emergency, say I was bleeding to death, and I was like, is it four clicks or five clicks? And I'm desperately trying to do these clicks. All right, mate. Isn't that a great one? Just trying to help you out.
Starting point is 00:36:52 But, yeah, cool. What about the hack where you can go into your photos? So I want you to go into a photo. Yeah, cool. And this is for mainly photos you don't want someone to see. Yeah, okay. So this could be for a saucy photo you've taken. I don't know if I've got any of those, but yeah. If you've taken a photo and
Starting point is 00:37:10 then you go share, so click the share button. Oh, that little up arrow in the box. Yes. Down towards the left of the screen. Yeah. I've just seen the button. And then I want you to scroll right down the bottom and there's a button that says hide. Yeah. And if you click that, it gets sent to a certain folder in your photos section where you can then hide that folder. How do I find it? How do I find that folder again? So if you go to your photos and you scroll all the way down in albums, it'll be down all the way bottom. Hidden, there it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Oh, yeah. So why can no one else just go to that folder? And then I think you can name that something different. Oh, I see. So I could name it definitely not nudes. Yeah. Good, all right. The people will never look at this.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I'm going to go with mind interested on that one. Okay, this is, I think, the best one that I've got this afternoon. Sure. So I need you. This is a feature. So the best one that I've got this afternoon. Sure. So I need you. This is a feature. So when you look at your iPhone, you would say majority of the screen when you're in different apps or different whatever is white. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Right? I want you to go to settings. Yeah, settings. I want you to go to general. General, yeah. And then if you go to accessibility. Accessibility, yeah. And then if you go to display accommodations. Display accommodations, yeah. And then if you go to Display Accommodations.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Display Accommodations, yep. I can't wait to see your face on this one. Invert Colours. Yep. And then I want you to hit the Smart Invert button. Smart Invert. Whoa, everything's black. Oh.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Did I get you on that one? I like that. No, it looks like an Android. It does look a bit, but also you can go, I've got an All Blacks phone, so I don't mind that. There you go. All right. Was that the best one?
Starting point is 00:38:49 Yeah, one out of three, not bad. You're welcome, mate. It's an emergency. Please click my lock button five times very, very quickly. Is that four or five? I'm dead. Oh, too late. Oh, my God. I heard dead. Oh, too late. Don't want to keep, keep, keep. Brie and Clint on ZM.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Oh my God. I heard she bought all her followers. She would. She's such a bitch. It's time for Brie and Clint's Insta Fame Game. This is the game where Brie and I go head to head in a competition to guess how many Instagram followers famous celebrities have.
Starting point is 00:39:25 You can play it in the car too. Producer Ali will give us the celebrity and then see if you can figure out in 10 seconds how many Instagrammers you think they have. This is going to be so stressful for me over the next four weeks. Well, it could all end here because at the moment, the score is 11 games to you, seven games to me.
Starting point is 00:39:41 There's four weeks left. Yeah, we're going to reset that clock at the end of the year. Yeah, so it means I need to win every single game if I want to tie. Yeah. I have said to you, if you tie, we'll go to a death match. Okay, cool. On the last day of the show, we'll do a sudden death and that person will decide the Insta Fame Game champion for the year.
Starting point is 00:40:02 I feel like it's going to be over a lot earlier than that, but that's good knowing that that is at the end if I actually get there. You've got to win every single game. Producer Ellie, hello. Hello. What have you got for us today? All right. Probably my favourite Friday Jams live artist the other night.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Lil Jon. How many Instagram? Does Lil Jon have? I started following him yesterday. And you ended up, you were actually on his Insta story, Ellie. Yeah, he re-shared my lit story of Brie and I. You know, I went and looked at his account too.
Starting point is 00:40:35 And I've got a ballpark idea. Okay, let's do it. 10 seconds. 10 seconds. Crap, now I can't remember. I'm pretty confident. I know this can't remember Yeah, I'm I'm pretty confident I know this isn't quite right, but Alright I've gone for a round number
Starting point is 00:40:52 For Lil Jon, Clint, you have said 800,000 Yeah Brie, you've said 610,000 Lil Jon has 600,000 Well done. That was luck. Can I say Lil Jon deserves more Instagram followers? I agree.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I was shocked when I saw that. He was so good the other night. He has so many bangers. It's because he doesn't have the Usher body, you know? It's a classic bikini babe situation. It's not fair. Okay, who else you got for us? All right.
Starting point is 00:41:21 In the news at the moment, Ruby Rose. We were talking about her yesterday. Who was the Veronica she was with? Jess. She was in a feud with her yesterday on Instagram. She's got to have more than Jess, right? Because she's been like full US TV famous. She's blown up in the last
Starting point is 00:41:37 couple of years. Okay, Ruby Rose, 10 seconds. And she's a babe. She is a babe. Yeah, she's a babe. It's a babe. She is a babe. Yeah, she's a babe. Yeah. It's a hard one, though, because, you know, she's... All right, Clint, for Ruby Rose, you've said $3 million. Oh, I've went too big. Brie, you've said $7.9 million.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Ruby Rose has $13.4 million. Are you serious? Yeah. What is going on? I don't know. This is meant to be the game where I... You went too low. I thought I went too big. Are you in co-hoots?
Starting point is 00:42:14 No, no. Are you feeding Bree the answer and she's making herself just ever so slightly off? Mate, don't be a bad loser. You haven't lost yet. Okay, it's first to three. I need every single point Come on Clint You can come back I need every single point From here
Starting point is 00:42:26 You can do this Give us another one Ellie Alright now he's From the 2000s But we're all a fan Ashton Kutcher Are we fans? I'm a fan of Ashton Kutcher
Starting point is 00:42:34 I quite like Ashton Kutcher Can I ask why Ashton Kutcher? I just thought of him The other day I was literally watching Punk'd in the weekend And I was like It's a good one for Instafame
Starting point is 00:42:41 God I love that show Same Okay Ashton Kutcher He was at one stage The most followed person On Twitter Oh I didn't know that and I was like, it's a good one for Instafame. God, I love that show. Same. Okay, Ashton Kutcher. He was at one stage the most followed person on Twitter. Oh, I didn't know that. But how does his Instagame go? Ten seconds.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Oh, he's so hot. Yeah, I guess so. Oh, I think I've gone too big. All right, Bree. For Ashton Kutcher, you've said 17 million. Oh, no, it's a redraw. Are you joking? Clint's also said 17 million?
Starting point is 00:43:12 That means we need to go again. Okay, go again. We'll go again. Yeah, go again. Okay, 10 more seconds. Oh, who's going higher? Who's going lower? What is he up to? Oh!
Starting point is 00:43:23 I've got a feeling that I'm closer this time because he was just on Ellen. Remember, he gave away a million dollars on Ellen? That's right. Oh, he did. He would have got a lot of, like, stay-at-home mums follow him after that. Poor.
Starting point is 00:43:38 All right, Clint, you have said $20 million for Ashton Kutcher. Yeah. Bree, you've gone only slightly up, 17.1 million. Literally only slightly. Ashton Kutcher has 2.9 million. Is that me not winning? That means you just got the point. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:43:57 It's one step closer. What are you on? I don't know. How are you doing that? Is that two games in a row that I've won? It is. Two games in a row. Oh, Clint, mate.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Oh, no. It makes the score. Honestly, I was coasting to a victory here. You were. This will be the best comeback in history. I was the All Blacks at the start of this year, and now all of a sudden I'm the All Blacks at the end of this year. Good game. Good game.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Good game, mate. 11-8. It's always next week. 11 games to 8. Bree and Clint on ZM. Want a bit of science? Bit of news? Yeah, go on.
Starting point is 00:44:33 And this is in regards to what skinny people have that obese people probably don't have. Okay. And this is not some far off zany science that I've got from the internet. This is from the University of Otago. Oh, so this is a New Zealand study. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:51 It's come out of their Department of Food at the University of Otago. Scientists believe they have revealed a link between obesity and scent, finding that the better a person can smell, the more likely they are to be slim. So if you've got better sense of smell, A better sniffer.
Starting point is 00:45:15 then you're more likely to be a thinner person. They said they found obese people's ability to detect and discriminate smell was not as efficient as slim people. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know about that. I mean, you're no scientist, but I'll take your word for it. It comes down to this. You know how your sense of smell is directly linked to your sense of taste?
Starting point is 00:45:38 Yes. And that's why if you don't want to taste something bad, you can hold your nose and it should dull your sense of taste a little bit. What are we saying is something bad, you can hold your nose and it should dull your sense of taste a little bit. What are we saying is something bad though? Well, they're saying that people who have a bad sense of smell require more stimulation in their food and that's why they opt for foods that are higher in salt and saturated fats. Foods like bacon or things covered in maple syrup as opposed, and this is in the scientist's words,
Starting point is 00:46:07 to people with better sense of smell and a better sense of taste who would opt for a low-fat cereal with less sugar. Yeah, because it doesn't really matter to them. They're saying that if you can smell better, that that sort of stuff tastes better to you than a Big Mac. One of my friend's dads, this could be true, because one of my friend's dads, actually, no, this is the opposite. He was in an accident and he lost his sense of smell. Yeah, so he lost his sense of taste.
Starting point is 00:46:30 Yeah, he lost both. So he couldn't taste anything, couldn't smell anything. Oh, that's my newest nightmare. He lost a heap of weight. Because nothing tasted good anymore. Well, he didn't really want to eat anything because... No, that's different again. So he's gone, I can't taste it,
Starting point is 00:46:46 so why would I waste my time with junk food? Well, that's the thing. Whereas these scientists are saying that if you have an impaired, not a removed, but an impaired sense of smell, that you need more stimuli. You need more salt in your food to get it going. I would possibly argue the other way around. I'd
Starting point is 00:47:01 say more, it's like thin people can't smell or taste good because for some reason they think things like kale taste nice. Like who thinks kale actually tastes good? Like have you had the seasoning on KFC chips? Yeah. Have that. It tastes amazing. And then have a piece of celery and seriously,
Starting point is 00:47:19 tell me who's got the better sense of taste. Well, that's so true. Bree and Clint on ZM. Hey, I want to talk to you about the Prime Minister of Australia and apparently what you're not allowed to say to him. This is important because if you're going to Australia, which you are this weekend, say you run into the Prime Minister, you could get arrested if you use these two words to him.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Right, because I was preparing myself if I did see ScoMo, who's the Aussie Prime Minister. ScoMo, Scott Morrison. Yeah, I was preparing something to yell out at him. Hell of a nickname, ScoMo see ScoMo, who's the Aussie Prime Minister. ScoMo, Scott Morrison. Yeah, I was preparing something to yell out at him. Hell of a nickname, ScoMo. ScoMo. What would Jacinda's be? Jess Dern.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Jassard. Stick with Jacinda. I love just watching you trying to come up with that. This is a story about Australian man, Alan McCall. He's 26. He's from, and I want to know if you know these places, Berrydale? Berrydale.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Berrydale, close to... Jindabyne. Jindabyne. Yes. You know the place? Yep. What sort of area are we talking about? We're talking country.
Starting point is 00:48:18 If you had to compare it to somewhere in New Zealand... Palmerston North. Oh, okay. Yeah. A bit like that. Outskirts of Parmy, sure. He's been fined $500 for insulting the Australian Prime Minister
Starting point is 00:48:28 at Bathurst, the big car race. Right. So, So, ScoMo was kicking around Bathurst. ScoMo's down there visiting the Bogans. Okay. And he was taking photos with people when Ellen McCall yelled out at him
Starting point is 00:48:42 and you need, if there's young ears listening, I'll just give you a second to give them an iPad. He yelled out, he said, Hey, ScoMo, you're an effing Muppet. I mean, you know, everyone's got opinions. Hey, ScoMo, you're an F word Muppet. He said it several times.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Police came in, arrested him. Oh, so he didn't just go for the one big mic drop. He went for seven. No, but he didn't try and physically attack the prime minister. Right, he was just yelling it out. He didn't throw a big toy at him like they did at the New Zealand politicians that time. God, I love that video. You know, he just used his words and his freedom of speech and they arrested him for it.
Starting point is 00:49:26 That's BS. Now, police took him in and during a routine search of his bag, police found a quantity of cannabis, which Alan described as, in his words, just enough for a joint. I was going to smoke it while I watched the race. Why is he drawing attention to himself? If he's got that.
Starting point is 00:49:50 If he's got that. Searched his bag a bit further, and they found in Alan McCall's bag five tabs of LSD. Oh, come on, big Al. McCall was then given a court date. He was released. He was given a court date. He failed to turn up to court for his court date.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Surprising. After being convicted of behaving in an offensive manner, that's the one they got him for the swear words. And then after that, they fined him $500. I don't agree with that. Why? I mean, I agree with obviously if he's got, you know, illegal drugs and whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Yeah. But I think you should be, that's freedom of speech. No, of course you should. But at the same time, he's got off very lightly. That is pretty light. Oh, wait. That's it. That's all he got.
Starting point is 00:50:44 That's all he got. And he didn't even show up to court. So really. Well, he did get off pretty light. Oh, wait. That's it. That's all he got. That's all he got. And he didn't even show up to court. So really. Well, he did get off pretty light. Exactly. Really, the moral of the story isn't defend your rights to free speech. You can swear at the Prime Minister if you really want to, but just don't do it with a bag full of drugs at Bathurst.
Starting point is 00:50:59 So should I yell at the Prime Minister? Hey, ScoMo, get out your areola. Yes? Give it a go. Let's see if you make it back. I had a dream. Bree and Clint on Zit Im. Last weekend, we stayed at one of the best hotels I've stayed at for a while.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Oh, wasn't it good? Crown in Christchurch. The Crown Plaza. The Crown Plaza in Christchurch. Oh, that place was lush. This hotel that I'm about to tell you about is probably one of the worst places you could stay. Okay. And it's in London.
Starting point is 00:51:28 It's in Westminster and it's getting a heap of heat online at the moment. Westminster's where like, that's where the royal stuff is. Yes, exactly right. So knowledgeable. So it's actually around all those really big churches and the palace and all that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's in a really great spot. But there's a lot of people talking about this one particular room
Starting point is 00:51:52 at this hotel and everyone's saying that you shouldn't book room number 97. Why, someone got murdered? No. They reckon it's one of the smallest hotel rooms in the world. Okay, because I've stayed in some small hotels. And it's not one of the small hotel rooms like in Japan where it's like really futuristic and you can pull out a table here. Oh, the pod hotels?
Starting point is 00:52:14 Yeah. Because they've got some of those in Christchurch too. See, they're cool. Well, at least you know you're getting a pod hotel. Well, that's it. This is just a dingy room at a hotel. And apparently the other rooms at the hotel are pretty small, but they're nothing like this room.
Starting point is 00:52:28 Okay. Tell me how small. So let me break it down for you. The room measures five square metres, which half of that is taken up by the bathroom. Yeah. So let me just put that into perspective. It's about not even a full car park.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Oh, really? Not even a full car park oh really not even a full car park it fits one single bed i was gonna say part of it's got to be for the bed too one single bed and there's no room literally to put your suitcase is it like a bunk bed so that the bed's off the ground and you get some room underneath it no right it's a dingy old bed and then the bathroom is so small, you can sit on the toilet, you can put your feet in the shower, and also brush your teeth at the same time. Well, that's just efficient.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Oh, so good. And then I thought. It's nothing like a good old poo brush. I thought to myself, I wonder how much does it cost? Yeah. You know, how much a night? Oh, London's steep. We went there on honeymoon earlier this year.
Starting point is 00:53:26 One of the most expensive places. So expensive, right? Everything in London is expensive. Oh, you can get this room for a bargain at $97 a night. What is going on? For $97 a night, I'd rather share a bunk room with seven sweaty Swedish backpackers. Honestly. We know what you do with your weekends.
