Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello everybody, and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. I'm going to open the podcast. Actually, no, I'll ask permission. No, I'll ask if you want it. I would like it. You don't know what it is, but I appreciate the confidence in me. Anyone else got that same level of confidence in me? No, I need to hear it.
Starting point is 00:00:15 Okay. Anybody like to have a fun fact to open the show today? Yep. Well, like Vaughn. Vaughn doesn't own facts, okay? He does a great segment with facts, but just because... He does do a segment called Fact of the Day. Yeah, well, okay, this is not the fact of the day.
Starting point is 00:00:30 It's another fact. And most of the time, they're very fun. Oh, don't put that kind of pressure on me. Fact of the day! Day, day, day. We're not legally allowed to sing this. Today's second fact of the day is about
Starting point is 00:00:51 George Foreman. The boxer who invented the grill. Oh my god. No, I get that. For another generation, he's more famous for the grill Everyone knows he was a boxer Except me
Starting point is 00:01:09 Not everyone we're learning Ben did you know that? I knew who he was yeah But I wouldn't be able to tell you who he fought So Ali He's a heavyweight boxer He fought Muhammad Ali Fought Muhammad Ali
Starting point is 00:01:17 Fought Joe Fraser Big big deal All these people Ali doesn't know either But that's Because he's a boxer That's why he knocks out the fat. Oh, nice. That's a good catchphrase.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Is that actually his catchphrase? Yes. That's good. Oh, my God. I didn't know anything. George Foreman has five sons. Their names are George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI. I was really hoping the last one would be Anne William.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Anne Willie. I thought you were going to say one was named after the grill because that's what made him all these money. The last one's named Grill. He has said that he's been hit in the head so many times by people like Muhammad Ali that he's not going to remember very many names. So he named all of his kids after himself.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Same as Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson has Prince Michael and then Prince Michael Jr. Doesn't he? Blanket's actual name is... Prince Michael Jr. I don't know which one's worse. Blanket or Prince Michael
Starting point is 00:02:22 Jr. Prince is a cool name. Prince is a cool name. Prince is a cool name for a dog. It is very self-indulgent to name your kids after yourself. Isn't it? Oh, I don't like it. Yeah. I think it's very old-fashioned.
Starting point is 00:02:37 My parents did it. Wait. Technically. Oh, your middle name, eh? Technically, my middle name and my brother are both named after my mum and dad. Love it. Your middle name's Steve. Yeah, Stephen.
Starting point is 00:02:51 It's Stephen. Is your middle name Big Steve? Yeah, it's Stephen, actually. No, yeah, so my middle name's Stephanie, after my dad, and then my brother's middle name, it's a terrible middle name, is Dion. Because of Diane. Diane. That's funny this is
Starting point is 00:03:09 I don't mean to be racist but this is some Kevin Kim shit I know this is like yeah and I've said to my
Starting point is 00:03:16 parents it's fantastic I've said to my we should call them up and give them shit about it Dion I was like mum
Starting point is 00:03:22 Stephanie I can get Stephanie I can get because why because your dad's Italian. And Stephanie is an Italian name. So at least it has some kind of tie in there. Where the fuck did Dion come from?
Starting point is 00:03:34 God, I hope that there's no one that's listening to this podcast with the name Dion. No, no, there's nothing wrong with Dion the name. It's just that as a translation from transliteration from Diane It's like Is it even worth it in the end? Why didn't they just call you Brianna Diane? Why didn't you get Diane? And then Aidan is Stephen Because obviously my dad was like
Starting point is 00:03:55 Well if we don't have another one I'm taking this one now Good point And then my sister who was born first She got the rawest deal of all What is it? Steve's Diane, Stevie Diane? Is it like a hyphen? So, and this is- Devon!
Starting point is 00:04:10 You know what I've done? I've never thought about this. My sister, so me and my brother named after my parents. My sister's named after one of my grandmothers. Okay. Yeah. So why did she get one of the grandchildren's middle names? Or was your sister last? She was first. Oh, first. Yes! Okay. Yeah. So why did she get one of the grandchildren's middle names?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Was your sister last? She was first. Oh, first. Yes. So her middle name is your grandchild's first name. Oh, shade to the other grandma. Yeah. So my sister's. The other grandma would have been sitting there when you were born going, oh, my turn.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I'll be getting a look in here next minute. Stephenie. Now that I think about it. I'm going to call you Stephenie. My mum's, my mum's mum's name was Edna so that's probably why she didn't get a look in.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Edna. You'll be Ed. No so my sister's middle name is Ninetta. Beautiful. Oh okay. After my Donna.
Starting point is 00:04:55 That's quite nice. And then people at school this is horrible people at school found out about it and they used to be like hey Amber www.ambersgotnitties.com
Starting point is 00:05:07 Kids are shit. It's not even good. It's not even clever. It's not even clever. Ben was about to say it was clever. I was going to say that creative. No.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Was anyone else named after their parents in here? I've told you about my middle name Paul. Yes. And I got that because my dad my middle name, Paul. Yes. And I got that because my dad's middle name is Paul. But he doesn't know where he got it from.
Starting point is 00:05:29 So it's not like it's got like a meaning. So Paul has no great meaning to our family. And I asked him at lunch one time. He goes, oh, I didn't know. I was like, well, you gave it to me. That's a great question. What's the history involved with that? What about your other brothers and sisters? Yeah, there's some history there.
Starting point is 00:05:40 My brother got Joseph, which I think has something to do with my papa. I feel like some of us are really ignorant now. I don't know. I'm going to get, if I some history there. My brother got Joseph, which I think has something to do with my papa. I feel like some of us are really ignorant now. I don't know. I'm going to give... It's not about me. I don't know. I'm going to give my kids a real crazy fucked up middle name. Why would you do that?
Starting point is 00:05:56 Because then if they have the personality, like Rocket or something crazy. Oh, yeah, cool. Yeah, so then if they're like crazy or whatever... Rocket is Basecraft or rocket like the vegetable? What's the vegetable? Let them decide. You know, the leafy lettuce stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Rocket. Oh yeah. What about you guys? Named after your parents? I think my middle name is named after my great-grandfather, which is Nelson. That's dope. Nelson. That's cool.

Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah. Brooke Fraser what? Did you not have Brooke Fraser in Australia? Who's Brooke Fraser? Kiwi singer. There's something in the water. Girl. No, not.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Never heard of that person. I wear a pashmina with a nautical theme what she wears what she wears what she wears hopefully it's a bit better when she does it there it is
Starting point is 00:07:12 nothing it's a long loop I was going to say it's a long intro on this she she does very Christian music. She's won a Grammy for Hillsong. Anyway, we're digressing massively now.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Anyway. Anyway, last piece of ad before we get into it. There's some good impressions in the podcast coming up of Matthew McConaughey. I just wanted to give anybody else who has a good impression the chance to do one before the podcast starts. Yeah, right. Anybody sitting on a good impression
Starting point is 00:07:49 that we haven't heard before? No, well, don't all come forward at once. I just do, I don't do any people. I'm not good at doing people. You do animals. I do, no.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Oh. I do more cartoon characters. All right, give us a cartoon character. Okay, I'll give No. I do more cartoon characters. All right, give us a cartoon character. Okay, I'll give you a choice and then you pick. I can do Scooby-Doo, Yoshi... From Mario. From Mario, the Mario games.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Yeah. Or... You did a good Cookie Monster the other day. No, that wasn't good. Or I can do Pikachu or Lilo and Stitch. But I'll do, I think, Stitch. You've got all the annoying ones. Do you want me to do Scooby-Doo?

Starting point is 00:08:50 Scooby, Scooby wants a Snoopy snack. This is McDonald's, you dumb dog. Would you like a Big Mac? I ain't got nothing else. I just dropped, you know, the iconic lines, and then if I have to say anything else, I don't know how to do it. Can you cut the impressions bit off the podcast intro? Come on.
Starting point is 00:09:12 That was good. It wasn't that bad. It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault. I went too deep. Why are you making out like it was the worst thing ever? Here's the podcast, everybody.
Starting point is 00:09:20 You listen to the podcast. He sets it up and he goes, oh, let's randomly do Matthew McConaughey. You knew we were going to do it before the show. I told you before the show. You had two hours to rehearse. Oh, and he's had his whole life. Yeah. That's what I've been doing with my life.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Matthew McConaughey. Here's the podcast, everybody. Bye. Zing! Let's go. Now let me see you dance. Zing's Brie and Clint. G'day, everybody. How you doinged Ambs, Brie and Clint. G'day everybody.
Starting point is 00:09:47 How you doing? Good afternoon, Brie and Clint. Good afternoon, crew. Everything's going good. Everything's going good. Everything's going good. We need to finish on time today because Clint and I are going on a secret date. We're going on a friend date, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:59 I've organised a secret friend date. My wife and child are away, so I was like, yeah, I'll go out after the show. That sounds fun. That sounds great. I've just gone and had a shower to get ready before the show. I don't know what we're doing. How do you feel about spiders?
Starting point is 00:10:13 Spiders, not good. Okay, right, check. How do you feel about, oh, I already know how you feel about this. Things jumping out. Not good. Okay. Lucky none of this involves that then.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Yeah, well good. I'll enjoy it. I've accidentally washed my hair with body wash. It's gone very fluffy. Is this what you would say is volumising? Is this volumising? No. How do you accidentally wash your hair with body wash?
Starting point is 00:10:40 I only bought body wash and then just muscle memory. I think I just reached for it, went into my hand and then straight into my hair. I was staying, I bought body wash and then just muscle memory. I think I just reached for it, went into my hand and then straight into my hair. I was staying at my mum's house one time and she put her, all of her stuff in different bottles.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Oh yeah. And I was using my sister's bathroom. Oh, like a mystery maze. Yeah. And then I was using this one shampoo for like the whole week and I was like, my hair smells amazing.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And my sister's like, who's been using my Femme Fresh? Oh! I mean, well, actually. It doesn't really matter. It's still fresh. You are Femme. Femme Fresh. There is hair everywhere. My hair was like extra greasy
Starting point is 00:11:17 though. A bit curly? Yeah. A little bit wiry. Today on the show, Unina or Pop Diva is back. We've got some more songs to play with, we hope. So before five o'clock, you can win for yourself some free mobile fuel. That's coming up.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yes. Oh, this is where I have to tease something. Just say what we're doing next. Oh, good idea. There's a really, you know how I'm in the property market at the moment? Yeah. I was looking on One Roof,
Starting point is 00:11:44 the website, and they have got one of the most sought-after properties in New Zealand up for sale. First time it's been up for sale in 50 or 60 years. Oh, fantastic. A bit of property news to start the show. Bree and Clint, this is ZM. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM.
Starting point is 00:12:01 That's a very good point. Why aren't there toilet brushes in hotel rooms? Well, I don't know. I guess we could call a hotel and ask. Anyway, speaking of property, this is a New Zealand-based story, which is exciting if you've got a tonne of money. Oh, yeah. So that knocks out a few of us.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I like to dream there's $9 million available in Lotto tonight. Yeah, well, yeah. If you're in the property market, this might be for you because a stunning world-renowned rural property is up for sale in New Zealand and you might recognise this property as it's been and featured in almost 20 movies and is used for about 10 TV commercial shoots a year. Sky Tower.
Starting point is 00:12:46 It must be the Sky Tower. Is it Sky Tower? Do they have to sell the Sky Tower after the fire to pay for the fire? No. No, not Sky Tower. It is the property that was used to film the Lord of the Rings outdoor scenes. Oh, you mean Hobbiton? Glenorchy Paradise Road.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Right. Glenorchy. I probably should have learned how to say it. It's bordered by the Diamond Lake to the south and Mount Appraising National Park to the east and a Dart River and Paradise property to the west. So what Lord of the Rings scene is it? Because there's Hobbiton and Meta Meta.
Starting point is 00:13:25 No. Property to the West. So what Lord of the Rings scene is it? Because there's Hobbiton and Meta Meta. No, so this one I'm pretty sure was for a lot of, yeah, a lot of the mountain scenes. Oh, yeah, which mountain? Was it Mount Doom? I've never seen Lord of the Rings, okay? On the Tongarello Crossing. I'm just wondering which, I mean, you're bringing us this property news. Where exactly in the Lord of the Rings does it feature?
Starting point is 00:13:44 I don't know, but I do know this. The guy who played Gandalf in Lord of the Rings. Sir Ian McKellen. Sir Ian McKellen. He calls this place his favourite place on earth. Behind Hobbiton. No, this place is his favourite. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:14:01 This is his favourite. Okay. And you can buy all of this, which it comes with a lot. There's a lot of bloody property to buy, and it's evaluated at $9,210,000. Oh, for a piece of Lord of the Rings. That's an absolute bargain. It is a bargain.
Starting point is 00:14:18 You'll have punishing Lord of the Rings fans showing up to your property from now and into the infinite future, though. Well, you could turn it into a business. Like the people who bought the outrageous Fortune House. You know, they bloody hate that show. They hate it because people just keep showing up. It's in West Auckland.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Well, why would you buy the house? Well, I think they already had the house. Did they, though? Yeah, they already had the house. And then they said, oh, look, can we film some stuff here? And then they said, yeah, sure. We'd love to make some money just for you filming some outside shots of our house. And then it became iconic.
Starting point is 00:14:48 It's basically the Bogan Simpsons house. It's like the New Zealand Simpsons house. It's like, because you know how they were talking about the Kath and Kim house was up for sale this year. Yeah, same situation, yeah. And if you renovate that house, you will be upsetting a lot of people. So Kath and Kim house is different again because they actually shot inside, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:15:05 They shot inside that house. So the house is inside and outside. Yes. Yeah, whereas the outrageous fortune house looks nothing like that inside. Just the outside. It was just a set. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Same with the Brady Bunch house, right? Oh, Ben's just brought up some pictures of Glenorchy. It was Helms Deep. Why don't you just say that, Bree? Because I've never... It was Helms Deep that they used in The Lord of the Rings. I've never seen it, and neither have you. You've only seen the first one.
Starting point is 00:15:28 No, I've seen all The Lord of the Rings. I have seen all The Rings. I have. You've seen all The Rings, haven't you? I've seen all of The Rings, yeah. I have. You are a ring connoisseur. You're the one who bought the bloody Lord of the Rings news.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Because I thought people would be interested. No one listening to this station has $9 million. Pull your head in, woman. There is also a nice property in Hamilton for about 50-something thousand. I'll bring that one tomorrow. Okay, great. Thanks very much. ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Aren't we living in a world, you know, where it's, I guess it's all glitz and glam, especially on social media. It's the same. I know people have heard this same old thing over and over again, but it's the truth. People only post the highlights on Instagram. And I guess I follow a few people who make their money because they are travelling influencers.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Oh, yeah. By that I mean they get paid to travel and go to resorts and, you know, post about it. I know a girl who's been doing that for 10 years. She started out doing it as a YouTube blog and now she does most of it through Instagram. But I'm like, girl, haven't you seen everything? Yeah, well, you do that.
Starting point is 00:16:40 You know when you go somewhere and you go and there's like the five must-do things in every city. She's been to every city like 12 times. Surely you're sick of it. Yeah, you get bored, wouldn't you? Bored of living out of a suitcase? Yeah. I just want to be home.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Actually, I mean, it could be worse. It sounds actually quite nice. But the social media side of it. I'd definitely get over it. Yeah, the social media side of it. You've got to be constantly jazzed for it. You've got to be like, oh my gosh. And you've got to constantly, I guess,
Starting point is 00:17:05 and I read an article somewhere that said something like most of the destinations people travel to these days, I think it was like a massive percentage, is because they saw a picture on Instagram. And even more than that, they go there to get that picture. Exactly right. So they don't go there. Yeah, to experience the culture or anything.
Starting point is 00:17:24 To hike the mountain and have that experience. You're going to get that picture of you holding up the people are travelling to experience the culture or anything. To hike the mountain and have that experience. You're going to get that picture of you holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Or sitting on the swing in the middle of the water and the ocean in Bali.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Yeah. You know, those iconic photos. Yeah. Anyway. Which is fine too. If that's what you want to do with your travel,
Starting point is 00:17:38 that's totally fine too. I saw a thing on Instagram that I quite enjoyed where it was, it was pretty much if Instagram travel bloggers were honest. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:51 And we've taken a little bit of it and this is what they say. This past summer in Bali was everything I wanted it to be and more. It was the kind of trip that gets you enough content to post on Instagram for a whole month. The kind of trip that changes you as a person and gets you at least 6,000 new followers. I've learned that fancy hotels are only $30 a night here, but everyone thinks I'm loaded. That to get that epic hiking photo,
Starting point is 00:18:15 just change into a completely different outfit at the top. I'm here to run through rainforests in an outfit that's not made for running and to run around third world countries in inappropriate outfits and go swimming in the clearest water you've ever seen, but this time in a different swimsuit. Basically, I'm here to show you how amazing my life is, but not how you could do it yourself. This is a travel flex. I love the idea too of like banking photos to post later
Starting point is 00:18:42 and you do all those throwbacks like, oh my gosh, take me back. Which I really liked it and there's a lot more because it actually goes for a lot longer and it's really quite funny. But it was a nice reminder sometimes that not everything you see on Instagram is real.
Starting point is 00:18:59 What are the real things you would post if you were a travel blogger? Diarrhea, like fits. Queues at the airport. Queues at the airport would be a big one. Layovers. Lost luggage.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Lost luggage. Yeah, this is the real glamorous side of travel. We probably need to travel more. Yeah, I was going to say. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM from iHeartRadio. This is the Latest. Live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Dean, people are drawing some striking comparisons between the latest Selena Gomez song, which we discussed with you, we believe it's about Justin Bieber, and an old Justin Bieber song. Yes, and it's making the rounds around the world. It's on Twitter. It's kind of blowing up online today.
Starting point is 00:19:44 A mashup of Lose You To Love Me, her Selena's new hit, which has already had, by the way, 110 million views on YouTube in like a couple of days. And Justin Bieber's Sorry. Have a listen to this and have a listen to how well these two songs have been blended. It actually makes a dope mash-up. Yeah, it does. Sounds like you're singing a duet, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:20:20 And, Dean, we learnt the other day that that's the first number one Selena's had. Yeah, Dean, we learnt the other day that that's the first number one Selena's had. Yeah, that's right. You know, I mean, it's got so much talkability. Everyone was, you know, wondering whether it was about Justin, so everyone listened to it. It's a really good song as well. Great way for her to put her foot back in the music pool too.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I think it's a great song. I think she did really well with it. Yeah, she just dropped two songs at once. Okay, well, there's the tea. That's Dean McCarthy live out of Los Angeles with the latest. Brought to you by Amplify Kombucha. Taste Amplified. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:20:56 As New Zealand's leading radio for both maritime and aviation-based news, we are proud to bring you news when it surfaces. And today is one of those days, folks. There's the sting, so you know it's real. Okay, no one's messed with it. No one's messed with it. We're good to go. A Chinese pilot has had his wings clipped after an incident. See what we did there? He's had his wings clipped. He's been grounded. He's no longer allowed to fly after he allowed a female to have a photo sitting in the cockpit in the captain's seat. Excuse me, excuse me once again. Oh, sorry, I've got an almond stuck in my throat. Oh, you didn't need to know that, but anyway.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Anyway, back to the story. He's not allowed to fly anymore because he let this lady have a photo in the seat. You know that classic photo that you get if you're lucky when you get to go and get a tour of the cockpit? So he's been banned for letting her have this photo because he allowed it to happen while the plane was flying. She's literally in the pilot's seat. It's pitch black outside because they are in,
Starting point is 00:22:04 oh, God knows where, flying over, who knows. And he's gone, yeah, attractive looking lady. Of course you can come for a tour of the cockpit. And of course you can sit in the seat and have a photo. She could have kicked the joystick. She could have put it into a nosedive. She could have done anything. It's on autopilot though.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Oh, well, that's half the problem, right? What do you mean? Well, get in there and do some work. What are we paying you for, Pilot? You know? You can't just do this. Land and take off, I think, mostly. You can't just do this and let people sit in the seat. You know what it'll be, right? He'll be
Starting point is 00:22:35 flexing. He'll be trying to impress the girl and he'll be going, hey baby, why don't you come up to the cockpit? No one was allowed in the cockpit. So that's part of the rules too. Since 2001 you're not supposed to allow anybody into the cockpit. No one was allowed in the cockpit. So that's part of the rules too. Since 2001, you're not supposed to allow anybody into the cockpit whatsoever because of 9-11. Unless it's flight attendants and they have like the secret code word or something.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Yeah, there's some system to do with that, yeah. But even then, it's monitored how long they go up there for because they don't want the pilots to be distracted, you know? How would you feel if you were sitting on the plane and you knew that some girl was having a photo in the, and sorry, I shouldn't say some girl, like it's a bad thing. Some person was having a photo in the pilot seat.
Starting point is 00:23:12 You'd be pissed off, wouldn't you? Well, unless she had qualifications. She doesn't. Well, what if she did? She is currently attending the tourism university in China. So she's not a pilot. Tourism means you've got to fly somewhere so technically
Starting point is 00:23:31 she could have maybe rolled that into one degree. No deal. Sorry. He has been suspended from flying duties for life. He's never allowed to fly again. Which now that I think about it, it actually seems a little bit heavy-handed. Yeah, probably would have been easier
Starting point is 00:23:48 to just meet a girl at a bar, wouldn't it? Like how other pilots do. Exactly. I've heard. So I've heard. Anyway, that is your aviation news. Wow. Two original stings in one aviation news. That plane sounded like the girl was flying it.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. People love a good parking rage story, don't they? Oh, yeah. And I don't know what it is, but it is, I guess, kind of frustrating when you're trying to find a park. Remember when we told the story about that lady who stood in the car park? Yes, and saved it?
Starting point is 00:24:21 Yeah. I don't agree with that still. Yeah, no, I don't think you can do that. I don't think so. No. No, it's a no-go. But this is not really to do with actual parking, but it's more to do with buying the ticket for your car park.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Okay, yeah. So this morning I was going to an appointment and I finally found a car park and I've pulled in and it was just a car park on the street and then there's like a ticket machine on the side of the road. Anyway, so I've walked over to the ticket machine and there was a couple of guys there, a couple of business guys. One guy was standing right in front of the machine and I'd just seen him park his car. Yeah. Right. So he was obviously just parked his car. He obviously was buying a ticket. So he was the only person there buying a ticket
Starting point is 00:25:06 but I walked up behind him and I stood behind him. Anyway, I was waiting there and he was on his phone, right? He was having a conversation on his phone. Yeah. And he wasn't buying a ticket. Okay. He was finishing the conversation on his phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Which I waited for about, I want to say, 30 seconds. Felt like 30 seconds or was 30 seconds? I reckon, yeah, it felt like 30 seconds to a minute maybe. And he wasn't getting to the point? Well, enough for me to go, okay, well, he's obviously not wrapping the conversation up. It didn't sound like he was wrapping the conversation up. So at that point I sidestepped him and went straight in front of him and went to buy my ticket.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Fair enough. That's when he made a comment to me. Yeah. And said, oh, excuse you. And I turned around and said, well, excuse you. You should be more thoughtful and realise that you're having a conversation. You're not even buying a ticket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:09 You know, I've got places to go and I'm sure you do, but you need to finish your conversation. Yeah. Anyway. Those ticket machines are a punish as well, by the way. Which they do take a fair while and I'm pretty sure he wrapped up the conversation as I was just getting my ticket. Anyway, I kind of thought about it afterwards and I was like, was I in the wrong or was
Starting point is 00:26:32 he in the wrong? What, to step in front of a guy who was just faffing around on the phone? Well, I didn't think I was in the wrong, but then he made me feel like I was because he said something to me. Yeah, and then you had to awkwardly stand there and go, oh, what's my number plate? Yes, it was very awkward. You've got to get the app, by the way. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:26:49 I need to get that app. Level up. Screw those machines. Yeah, the app is good because then it gets you right down to the minute. You slide the timer and you can end it when you get back. Oh, get the app. It is good. Anyway, you don't have the app and because of this,
Starting point is 00:27:00 you're in an altercation with a businessman. Do I think you're in the wrong? No, I think screw them. And I think you're in the wrong? No, I think screw him. And I also, what about the producers? Is there any split decision? No, he just sounds arrogant. I think you should get the air.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Because you know what else I don't agree with? Because it made me, because I started thinking about it again, because it actually made me angry that he said something to me and I was like, how rude are you that you think... Did the altercation go anywhere else? Like after you'd said, excuse you... He didn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:27:31 It shut him up. Yeah, he didn't say anything after that. Yeah, well, well done. Yeah, well, I just was like... Yeah, you won. But I also hate when someone's standing in line at, say, a coffee shop and they're on the phone and then I... This really irks me.
Starting point is 00:27:44 I hate when someone's on the phone and then they walk up and they go, hold on, hold on, hold on. Can I get? I'm like, just wrap up your conversation and then go order. Yeah, okay. It's quite rude. But I want to know from people. I know 800 dials at M.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Should you get the app? Are you on the businessman's side? No one's going to call to be on the businessman's side. Well, he might call. He obviously thought I was in the wrong. Yeah, okay, yep. But I don't know. Is there any argument?
Starting point is 00:28:12 Because technically I did push in front of the line. You could have been a little bit more polite. You could have just gone. He wasn't. You suggested that thing. Do you mind if I just, do you mind if I just get in? Can I just, sorry, do you mind if I just? And no words are actually coming out. You're just mouthing it. It's like when you're in the car. Excuse me, do you mind if I just... Do you mind if I just get in? Can I just... Sorry, do you mind if I just... And no words are actually coming out.
Starting point is 00:28:25 You're just mouthing it. It's like when you're in the car. Excuse me, do you mind if I just... And you're over gesticulating everything. You liked that one, did you? Yeah, I really got myself there. Oh, $800. Even if you just want to ring up for a bit of an argument,
Starting point is 00:28:41 try and defend the businessman. Yeah, I'd be up for that. ZM Spree in Clint, the podcast. I parked my car, went to go get a ticket, but there was a guy in front of me who was on the phone and he was about to buy a ticket, but he wanted to talk on the phone for a good couple of minutes before he went to buy his ticket,
Starting point is 00:28:59 so I stepped in front of him and bought a ticket. And just used the machine. Yeah, and then he had a go at me. And then I had a go at him. Get the app. No, how about people? Just be a little bit nicer. Don't be so rude.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Do you think you could have given him a courtesy, even though he was on the phone? Do you think you should have given him a courtesy? Do you mind if I go first? No. Because you even could have been past ag about it. You could have gone, sorry, while you finish up your call, do you mind if the rest of us get on with our day?
Starting point is 00:29:27 Oh, yeah, because that's way better than subtly just going in front. You could have shot him a couple of barbs. Someone on the text machine goes, sounds like Bree may have been a bit impatient. Yeah, well, there is that option. And then they laughed afterwards, so obviously they're looking to stir me up. Well, we're looking for a bit of honesty this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Yeah, no, let's bring it on. Scott's here too. Kia ora, Scott. Kia ora. Hello, Scotty. What have you got for me? Okay, so in my opinion, the businessman was wrong for staying on the phone
Starting point is 00:29:58 and standing in front of the machine and not getting the ticket. But, Bree, you actually could have mentioned something or motioned something to just let him know, hey, I'm going to push in front of you sort of thing. Yeah, that's fair. But Scott, do you think he deserved it as he saw me coming and then continued to be rude? This is a very good point, Scott.
Starting point is 00:30:22 We're not sure of this. Was he aware that you were waiting as well? Yes. Oh, he did know you were there. He saw me. So as I was walking, he literally looked directly at me. Well, if there was a 100% fact that he did know you were waiting, then yeah, he's a douche.
Starting point is 00:30:38 But if on the chance that he didn't know that you were waiting, then yeah, kind of... That's different. I agree. Can I't know that you were waiting, then yeah, kind of. That's different, I agree. It could have been a bit nice. Can I ask what neighbourhood you were in? In Newmarket.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Oh, okay. Fancy, yeah. Yeah, and he looked fancy. Bill's here. Kia ora, Bill. Hello, Bill. Hi, guys. How you going?
Starting point is 00:30:57 What's happening, Bill? Yeah, well, I think the guy was blatantly rude. I think he could have been a bit more courteous. And as for what Scotty was saying, people have got to accept their own behaviours. If he's being rude and an ignorant prick, it's like, own your shit. You know, you shouldn't be abusing people and just stepping in front of people. You might run a business. You don't run the world.
Starting point is 00:31:23 So what you're saying, Bill, is if you want to be rude, then own it. Own it, bro, yeah. Yeah, I get what you're saying. For those who don't know, Bree cut in front and he goes, excuse you. Well, it's lucky that Bree was there. Some guy might have just decked him. You're a no-nonsense kind of fella, aren't you, Bill?
Starting point is 00:31:44 I like you, Bill. Own your own behaviour, mate. What part of the country are you from? Hutt Valley Hutt Valley What a legend, Bill Can you call the show anytime? Yeah, anytime, bro All good, guys
Starting point is 00:31:54 All right, have a good one Own your own behaviour I like that from Bill Erin's here Erin, before we get your opinion Do you have any sage life advice? Like what Bill just offered us? Oh, no, I don't actually.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Put me on the spot. It's okay. It's okay. Who's in the right? Who's in the wrong when it comes to the arrogant businessman? I think that Bree was in the right. Oh, I thought you were about to say that. I'm Tee Bree all the way.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Erin, she was just about to rip your head off. I thought you were about to go me, Erin. She fired up. I'm not. I'm not. And I was like, Erin, don't have the same demise as the businessman earlier today. I am willing to hear your opinions on the show this afternoon, unless you disagree with me, in which case you can do your stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Erin, you can call any time also. Oh, awesome. I'm a big fan, by the way, guys. Oh, thanks, Erin. You guys are awesome. Nice to hear from you. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Have you ever wanted, have you. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Have you ever wanted, have you ever felt the urge, or have you actually done it? Have you gone streaking on the field before? Um, no, but a good friend of mine has. During a game or? Yes. Right, not just on an empty field. No, it wasn't an empty field.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I mean, that'd be pretty easy, wouldn't it? Male or female? Female. And how did that go? Not well. Did they get tackled? Female. And how did it go? Not well. Did they get tackled? Yep. Did they get banned from the stadium?
Starting point is 00:33:09 I can't remember. I think they got fined, but it wasn't like a huge stadium. It was like, you know, one where there's like maybe one side of the stadium. It was like one of the lower games. Oh, yeah, like a regional one. It was still telecast, though. It was still on TV. Yes. Telecast? Yeah, that's what it's called, isn't it? This is the lower games. Oh, yeah, like a regional one. It was still telecast, though. It was still on TV. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Telecast? Yeah, that's what it's called, isn't it? This is the 1960s. I've got an analogue TV. Was it in colour? No, it was in black and white back then, actually. I quite rate a streaker in a game in the States, NFL game between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys last night.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Had to be stopped while there was a streaker on the field. The streaker was black. Okay. Very hairy as well. And had four legs. Not a good look. No. And then four legs as well. The streaker was a cat. The cat that got onto the
Starting point is 00:34:02 field. And this is not some regional kick around. This is the NFL, baby. This is a big game. Between the Cowboys and the Giants. How did the cat get in there? So they believe that there are a number of stray cats that live underneath the stands. Good spot to live.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Imagine the food that would go down there. Yeah, right. Yeah, you'd have your pick of everything. Anyway, he's got lost. He's come down the tunnel and he's come straight out onto the field and the commentator has covered it perfectly. And the cat is in the CDW red zone. CDW, people who get it now, a policeman, a state trooper has come on the field and the cat runs
Starting point is 00:34:36 into the end zone. That is a touchdown. And the cat is elusive. Look at, they're trying to corner him and they got him in the end zone. There are state troopers all around this cat which now climbs up into the stands. There's nothing funnier than watching grown men and professionals who are like in security wear and stuff trying to navigate a cat. You'll never catch a cat that doesn't want to be caught.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Hell no, they're so quick. That is rule number one of cats. I was going to say, it's the same situation when you see them trying to corner a naked person. Same thing, right? And they're trying to get them. I do appreciate when the streakers are really good at dodging them. Yeah, and they've got a good step on them. And you realise how unfair
Starting point is 00:35:14 it is that all security guards, like the chub security guards or whatever it is that sit around the side of the field, they all put them in those Gumby-ass black leather shoes that have got no grip. It's very hard to run in. No grip whatsoever. If you really want to step someone, step a security guard in those shoes and they will fall over
Starting point is 00:35:29 and the crowd will love it as well. Please tell me you guys got the footage of, he was an Aussie cricketer back in the day. His name was Andrew Simons. And there was a naked streaker that ran onto the field during a game and he absolutely dropped this guy with his shoulder. Yeah, I do remember that. There was another one where the guy caught him
Starting point is 00:35:50 and he started spanking his bottom with the cricket bat as well. I didn't see that one. Ma'a Nunu put in a really good tackle on a streaker one time as well, but he went full face to naked groin situation. Well, that's not ideal. Yeah, I know, right? The cat, however, they weren't able to catch it.
Starting point is 00:36:07 They weren't? No, so they just shot it. No, I'd made that bit up. Oh. I was going to say, this is a rim end to this story. Cat's fine, I think. It just ran out of the stadium.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Would have been a big fine too because he was naked. ZM Spree and Clint the podcast. Last week was it last week Jennifer Aniston joined Instagram?
Starting point is 00:36:29 No it was a week before. Two weeks ago. She's sort of the most recent big addition right? There's a few celebrities left who haven't dipped their toe into the soul sucking
Starting point is 00:36:39 environment that is social media and Jen gave herself over. Today another big deal celebrity has come on board. Probably not as big as Jen, but still, people like this person. I feel like this person's quite well liked. The newest member of the Instagram community is Matthew McConaughey. I don't mind Matthew McConaughey.
Starting point is 00:36:59 He's a likeable guy, right? Yeah. He has come on. He does a lot of videos. Everybody has their thing. Jen went with a Friends reunion picture. Matthew McConaughey posts videos, and he puts quite a lot of thought into them.
Starting point is 00:37:15 He's announced his arrival on Instagram with a bit of a poem or a rhyme or something like that. Born November the 4th, 1969. Got my dad's name the very same day, but not until I turned 50 today did I become officially McConaughey. That's my
Starting point is 00:37:33 Instagram handle. See you there. See what he's done there? I hate poetry. I do like him though. He also is quite a deep guy I guess he is I think he is he's quite thoughtful
Starting point is 00:37:49 so here are Matthew McConaughey's thoughts about joining Instagram when people go to my page I want them to see me look this is my first venture into sharing myself and my views I'm looking forward to
Starting point is 00:38:03 sharing who I am with you if it tickles your funny bone if it makes you think a second makes your heart swell up a little bit Varying myself and my views. I'm looking forward to sharing who I am with you. If it tickles your funny bone, if it makes you think a second, if it makes your heart swell up a little bit, let's have some fun with it, though. And let's, again, let's keep the high eye, not the low eye. High eye. Keep the high eye.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Is he drunk? Actually, I think that a lot of the time when I see him. The main reason I wanted to play those clips was to get a reminder of how Matthew McConaughey sounds because this afternoon, Bri and I are going to compete in a Matthew McConaughey off. Well, this is rigged. Obviously, you do a good Matthew McConaughey, so now we have to do a Matthew McConaughey off.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Who says I do a good Matthew McConaughey? I bet you. Wait, I'm calling it. Who says I do a good Matthew McConaughey? I'm not saying. I haven't heard you. You're the leadinghey. I bet you. Wait. I'm calling it. Who's just going to do a good Matthew McConaughey? I'm not saying. I haven't heard you. You're the leading impressionist on this show. Only one of us.

There's been so many bad decisions I've made on this show. So all you've got to do. I'm betting that is what's coming. All you've got to do. And we've got Ellie in here

Starting point is 00:40:44 Yanina A pop diva. Pop diva. Janina, a pop diva. Originally, the game was created with a YouTuber named Janina who would do covers of big pop divas and she'd do great impressions and you'd have to pick whether it was her or the real pop diva. We now just do cover of the song. Yeah. Or is it the real person? It needs another name.
Starting point is 00:41:09 The original. Cover or other, someone suggested last week. Yeah, but then the pop star's not really the other. They're more than another, aren't they? Danielle's here. Hi, Danielle. Hi, Danielle. Hi, guys.
Starting point is 00:41:19 How are you? Good. You still understand the concept of the game? Yes, I listen almost every week. Okay, perfect. You should be good at this, Danielle. You're taking on Ryan. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Hey, Ryan. Hello, Rising. Good afternoon. Whoever gets the most correct in this game is going to win for themselves some free mobile fuel, okay? Awesome. Perfect. Sweet. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Danielle is first. Here comes your first one, Danielle. Oh, is it too late now to say sorry? Because I know that I let you down. Is it too late to say I'm sorry now? All right, Danielle. Is that the real Justin Bieber or someone doing a cover? I'm going to say, ooh, someone doing a cover. All right, locking in someone doing a cover.
Starting point is 00:42:11 No, it's the real Justin Bieber. It's the real Biebs. Okay, that's all right. You have a go, Ryan. I think this has made this game harder. I think it has too. Just doing random covers or the real ones. It's added a dimension to it.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Here we go, Ryan. You call me baby. I know I'm not the only one. Oh, easy one. Easy one. Is that Sam Smith or someone doing a cover of Sam Smith, Ryan? You say it's an easy one. I'm really quite stumped.

Starting point is 00:43:06 Ooh, I'm nervous. I'm going to go with the real. All right, let's lock in the real Freddie Mercury. No, that is a cover. That is an incredible cover. I'm pretty sure that's a guy from TikTok, is it, Ben? No, not from TikTok. Okay, Ryan, if you get this, you win the game, okay?
Starting point is 00:43:25 Cool. Here? Cool. Here you go. Alright, Ryan. Is that the real Lady Gaga or a cover? I'm going to go with the real Lady Gaga. Locking in the real Gaga herself for the win. Well done, Ryan. Oh, good game.
Starting point is 00:43:49 You've nailed it. Good game. Good game. We'll send you out some free mobile fuel, man. Well done. Nice work, Ryan. Thank you. Well done, Danielle.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Oh, yeah. She's... Oh, he was not lovely, wasn't he? Zidim Spree and Clint, the podcast. You never like hearing about family feuds that break up, you know, families. The family. It's sad. It is sad.
Starting point is 00:44:09 And this story is exactly that. It's about a guy named Pasquale Parente. He was working at his dad's smash repairs business, had been working there for a while. I feel like I'm Judge Judy right now. Car smash. Yeah, smash repairs. Penal beaters, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Yeah, pretty much. Anyway, on Sunday, March the 10th, apparently he was late for a family dinner at his dad's place. Yeah. He arrived late. His parents got very angry because he was late, apparently. And they argued before Pasquale was told to leave and never come back to either his parents' house or to the business.
Starting point is 00:44:55 What, because he was late for dinner? Well, obviously there was probably more stuff to it. Okay. But that's what the straw that broke the camel's back. Okay. You were late. You're out. You're out.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Anyway, due to that, he hired a lawyer. Anyway, took his family to court. Yeah. And he's been awarded $10,000 in compensation after he was unfairly dismissed from the family business because they deemed that being late for Sunday dinner wasn't a fair enough reason. It's not a fireable offence. You would have to be a pretty strong-willed person
Starting point is 00:45:33 to be a family court lawyer because that would be mucky. You know, where you're giving custody of kids and all the rest of it. Oh, you're dealing with kids, you're dealing with breakups, but you're also dealing with pittiness as well. Yeah. Like real squabbly stuff. People are like, I breakups, but you're also dealing with pettiness as well. Yeah. Like real squabbly stuff. People are like, I'm not giving her the boat. I'm not giving her the boat.
Starting point is 00:45:49 I'm not, Dad's dead, and you're like, I'm not giving up Dad's bloody. I'm not giving her Dad's watches. Never. That sort of thing. And those sort of things. People hold grudges forever. And a lot of the time I find, because I'm trying to think of big family feuds that have broken out in our family, because, I mean, we've all had them.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Maybe not to the point of, you know, the extent of where you never talk to someone again, but those things do happen. My family's got one of those. Really? I can't really go into the details, but, yeah, there's one person that's been annexed from the family, yeah. It's just murky.
Starting point is 00:46:18 It's horrible. It's deep-seated because you've known these people your whole life. Yeah. You know, and it gets really personal as well. Yeah, I got shunned. Is that why they sent you to New Zealand? That's why they sent me here. They shipped you off to boarding school.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Yeah. They didn't correct you, so now they've deported you. Then I got let back in and they go, nah, she hasn't changed. We'll get rid of her in New Zealand. Which is an interesting turn of events because normally they ship the convicts to Australia. Wasn't there convicts here too?
Starting point is 00:46:42 Did we get some? I don't know. Not that I know of. No. So we got them all. Yeah. I love this term. Australia was a penal colony.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Well, at least we got James Squire. Do you know that story? No, I know. Ned Kelly. James Squire? James Squire, he was a convict and he pretty much made beer for the first time in Australia. Like he bought beer to Australia and then he was sentenced to death
Starting point is 00:47:08 and he got off with 150 lashes. Oh, what a bargain. Because he gave two things of beer to the judge. Really? I don't know if it's a real story, but that's what they say. That right there is an Australian fairy tale. Australia. They read that to kids as they tuck them in.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Literally. We want to hear your stories this afternoon on our 800 dials in. Dials in. We want to hear everything from the real petty family fights to maybe the fights that obviously are a lot more complicated. Yeah, sure. But any type of family feud that's happened in your family, what got between you and your family?
Starting point is 00:47:45 What tore the family apart? Good conversation at Christmas. That's where the fights start. It might have happened on Christmas. That's where they all start. I'm keen for the pettier ones. I'd love to hear those. Is there a reason that you don't talk to your family anymore or they don't talk to you? Can be serious too. You can share it with us.
Starting point is 00:48:01 You can text us on 9696 or call us 0800 dial ZAL-ZM. Let's open our own family court on the air this afternoon. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. A family feud broke out between a man and his family after he worked at his dad's smash repairs business and then he was late for a Sunday lunch
Starting point is 00:48:22 and they decided to give him the sack. They said never come back to here or to work. So he took them to court and he's been awarded $10,000 in compensation after he was unfairly dismissed. Ten grand. Sue your own family for ten grand. Is it worth it? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:48:40 The answer is no. Oh, okay. Sorry, I wasn't sure what the answer was. Suing your own family. I don't want to sue my family, but I don't know the situation that this guy's in, do I? I just, yeah, I don't know. I don't think it's worth it for $10,000.
Starting point is 00:48:54 We're asking you this afternoon, what tore the family apart? Was there something that happened that meant that you guys no longer talk to each other or you've been kicked out of the will or something like that. Yeah, there's a few texts coming through on this. Someone texted through and they said,
Starting point is 00:49:09 the family feud started when my brother hooked up with the German exchange student. My mum kicked him out and didn't talk to him for years. They ended up getting married and they had kids. Him and the German exchange student? Yes. They are now divorced. Can you say I told you so?
Starting point is 00:49:30 I wonder who mum was angry at too. Was he like, she's a guest, don't you touch her? Yeah, I wonder. Or was he angry, was he like, no, don't go anywhere near her, she's yuck, we don't want her in the family. Well, I don't know, that's interesting, isn't it? Alyssa is here. Hi, Alyssa.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Hi, Alyssa. Hey, how's it going? Good. What was the family feud that broke out in your family? So I decided to move to Auckland for my career and my parents just didn't approve of it, so I ran away from home. What, they didn't want you to live in Auckland? No. Can I have a guess where your family's from? Christchurch. I was going to say Christchurch. Wait, and so how old were you? So I ran away from home when I had just turned 18.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Oh, that's not technically running away. That's just moving out, isn't it? You're a free woman. No, I wrote a four-page letter and booked a one-way ticket, told my parents that I was going to stay at my friend's house for the night, and I didn't go back. Oh, buzzy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Are you guys in contact again now? No. Oh. Not really. How old are you now? 22. And how are you doing? How's life?
Starting point is 00:50:35 Yeah, it's pretty good. Like, I've got a good job now and I've got, I live in a really nice house and I've got a really good partner and I've pretty much got my life together. What's the career that you couldn't do in Christchurch? So I was studying Japanese in Christchurch, but the university up in Auckland provided you with basically better experience and you got to actually be involved in the businesses. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:50:57 But so the university in Christchurch. Any more questions about the degree? No, I'm just curious. I just don't understand. I don't understand why Auckland would be such a deciding factor in the relationship. Is it because of the blues?
Starting point is 00:51:10 I think it's just because it's a real cultural thing for them. They wanted me to do set things what they had hoped for. So basically like, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:19 go to high school, go to college, get a degree, get a good office job, settle down, have kids, that's it. I mean, like, there's so much more to life. Silly, totally silly to, yeah. Some birds you cannot cage, Alyssa.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Thank you very much. I love this text. This is probably my favourite text today. Someone texted through about a family feud that broke out in their family. They said, my uncle accused my dad of cheating in Monopoly. This resulted in a board being ripped in half and they didn't talk for years after it. It's a problem with board games. They tear families apart.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Well, Monopoly always ends like that. You've got to know the family members that you're playing with them, if they can handle that sort of pressure or not. Jess is here. Hi, Jess. Hi. Jess, what have Hi, Jess. Hi. Jess, what have you got for us? What was the family feud that happened in your family?
Starting point is 00:52:09 I will keep a very long story very short. So basically, my ex, we were together for about five or six years. I had got wind that he may have been cheating. He denied it. Also, coincidentally, my cousin was pregnant at the time. Turns out, first cousin with his baby. And so it's completely torn the family apart.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Mum doesn't talk to that sister anymore. Yeah. Your mum doesn't talk to her sister, who is the mother of your cousin, who had the baby. Right, so they've had to chop that whole branch of the family tree off. Well, they all knew about it, and no one... They knew it was going on? Well, the mum must have known, surely.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Surely, yeah. Like, her mum must have known, yeah. Jess, oh, that's horrible. I seen them at a funeral not long ago, and I did not say a word. Are they still together, your cousin and your ex? Yep, they're still together. They have multiple children now. Does that make it better or worse?
Starting point is 00:53:09 I don't know. Like, I always kind of said, like, if it was a random, I probably, it still would have sucked, but I would have been able to deal with it. Yeah, exactly. It was such close family. Yeah. Well, you get rid of it, you know.
Starting point is 00:53:21 If it's a random, you kind of move on from that part of your life, whereas it's a cousin, so it stays in your life. Cheating. It's this thing that happens, you know. If it's a random, you kind of move on from that part of your life, whereas it's a cousin, so it stays in your life. It's this thing that happens, you know. It's like a cloud over you. Cheating's cheating, but cheating within the family is some Nick Lev douchebag stuff, right? It's just grubby. I think I dodged a bullet anyway.
Starting point is 00:53:37 I think you did too, and I'm so glad something like that hasn't happened in my family because that guy would be ball-less. My dad would be after-less. My dad would be after him. He can't. He'd be the father of your dad's grandson. What? No, but I thought...
Starting point is 00:53:55 If your boyfriend... Oh, no, because it'd go across the family. Oh, wait, so he'd be the father of his niece's... He'd be the father of your dad's sibling's child's grandchild... He'd be ball-less. dad's sibling's child's grandchild. He'd be ballers. That's the end of the story. Top of the charts on these people's 16th birthdays.

Starting point is 00:54:58 I love that song. It's good. I thought it was good times. And I think it'll go good in a couple of years too. Ellie hates Drake, so she's dreading if that gets you. She's left the room. Yeah. She's literally left the room at that point. Let's go to Ann June.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Hi, Ann June. Hi. How are you? Good, thanks. What's your birthday? 9th July, 1978. Okay, you were 16 in 1994 on the 9th of July, and back in the 90s, this was number one. And I swear, I swear, by the moon and the stars and the stars,

Starting point is 00:56:35 It's so good and I don't think it's ever come up in birthday banger before. It's not the default Christina Aguilera song to go to either, is it? No, it's not. I think we're going to do it, Kate. I think you win birthday banger. Jeannie in a Bottle. Here you going to do it, Kate. I think you win birthday bagger. Jeannie, get a bottle. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:56:46 For you, Kate. Thank you. The year is 1999. You've got those butterfly clips in your hair, and you've got a crop top on, and this is the song that's number one on the charts. Prima. Let's do it.

The music's playing and the lights down low.

Baby, baby, baby. Oh, oh, oh.

Thanks to the winner of Birthday Bangers Day from the year 1999, Christina Aguilera, Genie in a Bottle, for Kate. What a girl. What a girl.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Isn't it weird looking back at that because we were all probably very too young to be singing those lyrics? I've never analysed what the lyrics are about. I'm a genie in a bottle, baby. You've got to rub me the right way. I'm a genie in a bottle, baby Come and let me out Yeah, that seems like a metaphor to me.
Starting point is 01:00:51 No, no, metaphor is what you're saying it is. It's absolutely a metaphor. Look, there's real risk in overthinking these things, you know? You do that, next you won't even be listening, you won't be able to listen to S&M by Rihanna. Yeah, Genuine Pony. God, I've got really bad hiccups.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Boom! Thank you. I appreciate that. Hopefully that means no harm. Hopefully that didn't scare anyone else. I didn't even think about that. Oh, damn it! Well, you just drove off the road because of the fright.
Starting point is 01:01:20 We apologise too. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. If you feel like getting riled up this afternoon, I've got a story for it. Oh, yeah, girl, get me riled up. Get me really hot under the collar. Oh, you wait.
Starting point is 01:01:33 It's another wedding situation. It all seems to come from the weddings. People get uptight. They get stressed. They're a high-pressure situation, which means they are a hotbed for tension. People get uptight, get stressed. They're a high-pressure situation, which means they are a hotbed for tension. Right, I'm going to read out an email that was sent around the group of family members that were meant to attend this wedding.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Yep. Which, so a little bit of background, this couple, the bride and groom, had organised a present or a gift registry where you could donate money into that registry and then they could uh buy gifts essentially maybe when they bought their house or stuff for the house wishing well yes so wishing well essentially but um it would go to this website. But this is what she said. Hi, invitees to the wedding. After much reflection and tear-filled conversation
Starting point is 01:02:31 with our closest family members, we have decided to cancel our upcoming winter wedding. We will further notify this group when we are in a better place to reschedule our wedding. Isn't that sad? It is very sad. We thank each and every one of you for your generous early donations to our money fund.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Can you believe we have raised over $30,000? Whoa! Unbelievable. Don't worry. The money you have donated will not be spent in vain, but rather used towards a honeymoon in the coming months. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, no, wait, there's more.
Starting point is 01:03:13 After we regain financial stability and hold calm in our hearts after a honeymoon, we will announce a new wedding date and reopen our money fund for any further gifts. Weddings are expensive. Oh, wait, that gets better. Oh, they're about $30,000. We are blessed to have generous family members who gave us these large donations.
Starting point is 01:03:38 It will help offset honeymoon costs and to scale to an even better future wedding. You don't. We really couldn't have made it this far without you. Plus, stay tuned. In the meantime, I'll be updating our gift fund registry to Amazon if anyone would like to gift us something to take on our honeymoon. You don't get a honeymoon because you didn't have a wedding.
Starting point is 01:04:03 There is no honeymoon. You've just crowdsourced a holiday for yourself. You've just done a give a little so that you guys can go on a holiday. As mentioned, we will keep you updated when we are reopening our money fund and have a new wedding date in the works. Don't be too sad. The new wedding is going to be a hit. Um, nah.
Starting point is 01:04:24 There's so much nah in that. If you don't get married you give the money back. What is going on there? Back in the day the gifting situation because you get married and then you start your life together that's what it was so you'd give things like microwaves and jugs to get people started. These days
Starting point is 01:04:39 your life's already started so I definitely look at the wishing well situation as me paying for my seat at the wedding. I'm paying some money towards the cost of the wedding. So how much would you put in the wishing well? Oh, about $100, $150 usually put in there. And what if it was two of you? About $100, $150 in there.
Starting point is 01:04:57 You're not trying to pay for the whole thing. You're just trying to, you're doing a gesture. But if I don't get to go to the wedding, I want my money back. I want my money back. I want my money back. I didn't give you some money. I didn't give you some money for you to go gallivanting around. I just think it's so casual how they're so open about they're going to use their money to go on a honeymoon when they haven't even been married yet.
Starting point is 01:05:19 It's just weird when they're talking about tough financial times and then they go, we've got $30,000. Well, it's kind of like if you're in a bad financial state, then why are you going on a honeymoon? Some people are very oblivious. Some people are just, they just don't get it. Would you be going to the wedding? The next wedding?
Starting point is 01:05:36 Yeah. Yes, if I'd already paid, I've got to get my monies worth. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I want to talk about Emma Watson. I love Emma Watson. Which I love her too. She's so like, I think it's just because she's so smart. She's just such a smart chick.
Starting point is 01:05:53 And if you don't know who I'm talking about, it's Hermione Granger. She will forever be known as Hermione Granger. Brilliant actress. I mean, she's done more than just that. But I mean, that was pretty epic. Wonderful spokesperson for women's issues as well. She's addressed the UN. Yes. Very, very smart woman. She went off and got a degree. Let me rephrase that. Not women's issues, human rights. Yeah, she's great.
Starting point is 01:06:16 And she's in the news today because she, so wrap your head around this, she doesn't see herself as single But she's not in a relationship Okay, this sounds like a riddle She doesn't see herself as single But she's not in a relationship Okay, is this a moaning myrtle type situation?
Starting point is 01:06:46 Is there a ghost? There's a good message behind it, I promise. Is there a ghost involved? No. Is it a trick? No. Is she in love with an inanimate object? No.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Is it a self-empowerment thing? Yes. Okay. So she's not single. Okay, let me get one crack at this. She's single, but she's not in a relationship. What? She's not single? Wait. Hang on.
Starting point is 01:07:13 She doesn't see herself as single, but she's not in a relationship. I'm going to have one crack at this and then I'll let you reveal what it is. Is it because single suggests that you're looking for someone else to make you happy and that's not what she's doing. She's focusing on herself. Kind of, yeah. I could give you, kind of give it to you. Yeah, pretty much.
Starting point is 01:07:35 She considers herself, and I love this phrase, to be self-partnered. Is that a new thing? No, well, she's just kind of made it up. Ben's rolled his eyes. You can't roll your eyes, mate. Don't roll your eyes because you listen. Self-partnering might be the next big thing, okay?
Starting point is 01:07:50 You listen to the reason behind it. And you know what? She's 29. I'm 29. And I honestly have not related to something more than this in the last like however long. She says she was sick of feeling all of this anxiety and pressure to be in a relationship and have babies by now and do all this crap. So she was like, well, pretty much the stress and the pressure that society put on a woman when they're 29 and they're about to turn 30.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Yeah, but let's not call getting married and having babies crap. You know what I mean. Kind of crap. That stress crap I mean. Kind of crap. That stress crap where someone's pressuring you. Anyway, she was like, you know what, I'm self-partnered. I don't need anyone else at the moment because I'm enough. Yeah, wonderful. Yeah, which is really cool.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Okay. When I first read the story, I was like, wait, does she actually believe she's in a relationship with herself? With herself, yeah. And then when I read the story, I was like, oh, yeah, makes sense. So you relate to this quite hard, you were saying. Yeah. Which is weird because you announced on the show this week
Starting point is 01:08:55 that you're actually in a relationship now. No, I said I was seeing someone. Wait, okay, so you're seeing someone, but you don't see yourself as being in a relationship. See, this is the pressure I was talking about All of these things are fuelled by jealousy at their core, really But it doesn't mean we can't have a good old chat about it And this one centres around producer Ben's favourite all black, Sonny Bill Williams
Starting point is 01:09:20 Oh, producer Ben does love Sonny Bill Why do you love him so much? Oh, just so many reasons. Yeah, just tons of reasons. Ben, like all Cantabrians. He goes on and on. Ben, like most Cantabs, hates Sonny Bill for no good reason. Even though he's a great crusader.
Starting point is 01:09:38 He played for the Crusaders. He was. Yeah. Yeah, he was a good, yeah, he was okay. Then why do you not like him then? It's probably jealousy. Yeah, and after this, I don't think this will make you like him more. I think Sonny Bill is a great All Black.
Starting point is 01:09:49 I think he's also a great person. I think he has grown into a terrific role model. His All Blacks career is finished. He's always said that at the end of 2019, win or lose, he's done. He's done. He still has some more footy in him, I guess. Look at him. He's definitely got some footy in him And he has signed a new contract Sonny Bill Williams
Starting point is 01:10:12 Next year will be playing For the Toronto Wolfpack Rugby league team I called it Going back to rugby league Yeah he's one of the jumpers And he's talented enough to do that Not everyone can do that.
Starting point is 01:10:26 They're not... Go back and forth. They're not... Well, he's won an NRL championship. He's won a Rugby World Cup. Actually, he's won two of each. He's won the Super Rugby Trophy. He can do whatever he wants. He's won a heavyweight boxing title. He's incredible. He's a great athlete, yeah. Anyway, he signed on for two years with the
Starting point is 01:10:41 Toronto Wolfpack. So, wait, this is in America, obviously. No. On a weight. The Toronto Wolfpack, weirdly, years with the Toronto Wolfpack. So wait, this is in America, obviously. No. Oh, no, wait. The Toronto Wolfpack, weirdly, play in the British Super League. So they play, yeah, the Toronto Wolfpack, based in Canada, play in Europe. I love how I was like, oh, in America. Yeah, Toronto, Canada. Same, same. That's not even the best bit.
Starting point is 01:10:59 Sonny Bill is playing two seasons. So he'll be in the UK for two years playing. And he will earn $10 million. Oh. Ha ha, look at the bed. $10 million for two seasons. Do you hate him more now? Yeah, but like Clint said,
Starting point is 01:11:18 that's more than Dan Carter ever got. The greatest All Black of all time. Well, I'll give you a couple of stats on that. Yeah, but can he play rugby league? Yeah, can he play rugby league? That's where the money is. Dan Carter, when he finished after the 2015 World Cup, got $1.4 million a year to go and play
Starting point is 01:11:34 in France. Which is a ton of money. Ton of money, but nothing on Sonny Bill. Sonny Bill's getting $5 million a year. The highest played NRL player is Daley Cherry Evans. Yes. He gets $10 million For the Manly Sea Eagles But he has to play 8 seasons
Starting point is 01:11:49 So 4 times as long as Sonny Bill Williams That's still a big contract in the NRL And you can get $10 million if you're Lance Franklin Playing in the AFL, Aussie Rules But you need to play 9 seasons to get your $10 million I know right Crazy man So as you drive home tonight Maybe go via the gym but you need to play nine seasons to get your $10 million. I know, right? Crazy, man.
Starting point is 01:12:09 So as you drive home tonight, maybe go via the gym, and then after the gym, hit the park, do some shuttle runs, chuck the ball around with some fellas, because, God damn it, you're not going to make anything unless you convert to rugby league ASAP. Inspirational. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I think this is probably my favourite story I've read today. It's a good one and it's about an English teacher over in China
Starting point is 01:12:33 who has chucked a sickie, essentially. Oh, yeah. I'm calling it sickie expert level gone wrong. Oh. So he had a good idea and then he's failed massively. Failed in the execution. Yeah. So this English teacher, his name was Mr. Du.
Starting point is 01:12:49 He was 23. Well, he is 23, sorry. He teaches at a private school. How do you do, Mr. Du? In China. And anyway, he was on holiday and he wanted to extend his holiday, so he came up with this plan where he bought a fake tuberculosis diagnosis x-ray. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:14 Chest x-ray. Yeah. And he bought that, I think it was around $100 and something he bought that for. Yeah, that's commitment. And, I mean, if you don't know much about TB, it's quite horrific. Like, it's not something where it's like, oh, you've got a chest infection. It's not a day off, right? No.
Starting point is 01:13:31 Yeah. It's quite bad. Anyway, so he's bought this fake tuberculosis diagnosis chest X-ray, and he's sent that through. And pretty much they were like Yeah, of course Like obviously Don't come in Don't come into work
Starting point is 01:13:48 Like you've got tuberculosis Anyway The bad part was Is that with TB It's very contagious And the thing about working in a school Is that if the teacher says They've been diagnosed with that
Starting point is 01:14:04 What happens? They screen every single child in the school. Exactly. It's like a measles epidemic. No. So this is what happened. 18 pupils in his class had to be screened and tested for TB. And this is where it gets a little bit sad.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Turns out two of the students actually did have it. Well, that's not sad. That's good. Well, it's not sad. That's good. Well, it actually is good because, you know, then they can be treated. So two of the students were diagnosed with it. So then they were like, you know, these two students have it. And then he had to say, because now the parents were like real angry and they were like, you've given this to our kids.
Starting point is 01:14:44 He was like, okay, I kind of need to tell you. It was a joke because I wanted an extended holiday. I don't have TB. Anyway, heaps of the parents didn't believe him, so he had to be tested a bunch of times. And then, yeah, turns out he definitely did not have it. He definitely didn't have it. No.
Starting point is 01:15:02 And this is the problem with teachers taking sick days. One, you get enough holidays already. That's enough. Alright? So chill out. Stop being so greedy. And second of all,
Starting point is 01:15:13 go, next time you do it, pick pneumonia. Yeah, pick a way more low level, go for a cold sore or something like that. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:15:19 cold sore's good. She's sitting, freeing Clint. The podcast with mobile smiles. Register, fill up, redeem points for rewards. Easy. If you enjoyed this podcast, Sounds good.
