Hi everybody and welcome to the Friday edition of the Bree and Clint podcast and the first time that we're doing something new.
We promised it and it got a massive response on our podcast group on Facebook.
Yeah, what's the name of that podcast group again?
We're changing it. It's too hard, too difficult and that's why we have no people following it.
But we said we would do a birthday banger edition for the podcast listeners.
Yeah, for the people who live overseas and can't call our show each day. Because it would be frustrating. You'd be like, what's my birthday banger edition for the podcast listeners. Yeah, for the people who live overseas and can't call our show each day.
Because it would be frustrating.
You'd be like, what's my birthday banger?
Oh, what's mine?
So today we get to find out.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
It's three and Clint's birthday banger.
The podcast.
Yeah.
This is great.
It's awesome.
So we got you guys to comment your birthdays. And we've picked out three.
Is that right, Clint?
Yeah, we've got three people.
And what we're going to do is we're going to give you the number one song
in New Zealand on your birthday where we are.
And then also the country where you are.
If you've told us where you live,
we can tell you the number one in your country as well.
So first person we've got is Libby Hutchins.
Libby Hutchins.
And she actually messaged our group because it was her birthday this week.
And we tried to get her on the show, but it was too difficult. But now we're doing her birthday group because it was her birthday this week and we
tried to get her on the show but it was too difficult but now we're doing her birthday
banner so happy birthday for this week to Libby and she was born on the 5th of November in 1983
so that means she was 16 in 1999 on the 5th of November and And in New Zealand, this was top of the chart.
That's a great birthday banger from Mariah Carey.
Oh, that was when she was at her peak, wasn't it?
She's from South Australia, though.
South Australia.
Big shout out to the South Australians.
On the 5th of November, 1999 in Australia, this was number one. A little bit of Monica in my life.
Now let's rock it.
A little bit of Erica by my side.
A little bit of Rita.
I love Vintage Mariah, but you'd opt for that one if you had the choice, wouldn't you?
I mean, it's iconic mumbo number five, Lou Bega.
Okay, next person up is Christine Cullivan.
Yes, and Christine is from Wentworth, New Hampshire.
Have we got people listening to our show in New Hampshire?
Yeah, shout out to everyone in New Hampshire.
Christine was born on the 9th of September in 1987,
which means she was 16 in 2003,
and this is her birthday banger.
People killing, people dying, children hurt,
and you hear them crying.
What a tune.
Black Eyed Peas.
I think the last Black Eyed Peas song that didn't have Fergie on it,
or does it have Fergie on it as well?
No, this has got Fergie.
And Justin Timberlake.
Yes.
This was number one in New Zealand on the 9th of September 2003.
But in New Hampshire, this was number one.
Yeah.
Nelly.
Charlie. no.
Was it P. Diddy?
P. Diddy.
Yep.
Shake Your Tail Feather.
Shake Your Tail Feather.
And I'm pretty sure.
Murphy Lee is the other one.
We always forget Murphy Lee.
This was the theme song to Bad Boys.
Bad Boys 2.
Bad Boys 2. And how exciting a new Bad Boys is coming out.
Bad Boys 3.
Yeah.
Okay, next one's for Greg Gould.
Greg Gould was his birthday's 11th of February in 1968.
So he was 16 in 1984 on the 11th of Feb.
And we'll do his New Zealand one first.
Billy Joel.
Can't beat that.
I went on a Billy Joel deep dive just recently.
That show we were watching, The Politician, that we've been talking about?
Yes.
On the last episode, which we agree should be the first episode of the second season.
Yes.
The song he's playing on the piano, Vienna, is a Billy Joel song.
Right.
Yeah, Billy Joel's awesome.
Billy Joel is awesome.
Okay, so that's your Kiwi number one, Greg Gould.
Yes, but Greg is in Charleston.
Is that what?
South Carolina.
South Carolina?
South Carolina?
South Carolina in America.
Yeah.
So this is what was top of the charts where Greg was.
Come a, come a, come a, come a, come a chameleon.
You come and go.
Two icons. Billy Joel and Boy George.
Boy George, yeah.
Apparently there's a Boy George movie in the making,
like the Elton John one and the Queen one.
I would love to watch that because he, imagine, I mean,
he was so different and is still so different,
but imagine back in the day, back in what, 1984?
Yeah.
How hard that would have been.
If this was the real birthday banger, which one of those songs gets played?
Which one?
I think...
I'm going to say Uptown Girl.
You think Uptown Girl?
Out of those two?
No, out of all six.
Oh, out of all of them.
Who wins?
For me...
This or Mumbo No. 5?
For me, it's between this, Uptown Girl, and Shake Your Tail Feather.
If you go Uptown Girl, I'll vote for you.
Right, Uptown Girl.
Let's play it.
Well, we're not going to, but there you go.
We're not going to play The whole song are we
Nah
No
Nah we've got to get
Into the podcast man
Okay
Just enjoy this bit
I vote
That we play the song
On Fridays
For the podcast
Birthday banger
Edition
A whole song
In the podcast
Mate we ramble on for eight minutes sometimes.
ZM, let's go, go, go.
Now let me see you dance.
ZM's Brie and Clint.
Start the radio engine, baby.
We're ready to fly.
Did you see that just then?
Producer Ben just commando rolled through the studio to open the door.
What is he doing?
He's always ready.
Battle stations, everybody.
We're about to go to radio war, okay?
Everybody's coming for our crown.
We've got to be ready to fight them off.
I love when Producer Ben catches something
and he literally yells the same thing every time.
What are you, the Black Caps?
What are you, the Black Caps?
The Black Caps playing today. Is that Caps. The Black Caps playing today.
Is that on today?
Tomorrow.
I think it might be today.
Who knows?
It's good vibes out there
at the moment, isn't it?
Yeah, but that's not
the biggest competition
going down today.
No, the biggest competition
going down today
involves you
and me
and a little song
that you've chosen
and I absolutely
hate you for
for Friday Oaky.
But there's a good reason, you know. Is there a good reason you've chosen Carly absolutely hate you for, for Friday Oaky. But there's a good reason, you know.
Is there a good reason you've chosen Carly Rae Jepsen?
She will be in the country, in Auckland, in a month.
In a month?
You did a Christmas song last week.
Because it's Christmas.
It's two months away.
Because it's Christmas.
No, Christmas is two months away.
Carly Rae Jepsen is one month away.
This is what you're in for at five o'clock today
and you've got Brie to thank for it.
Hey, I just met you.
No, this song is not for me.
But here's my...
I can't go up any higher.
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad.
That's not bad.
I think I'm on picture.
All that and more in today's edition of Friday Okie.
We want to play some Friday jams this afternoon too
because we never get to play any Friday jams.
So we take the rain sometimes on a Friday.
Yeah.
And we ask for your guys' help pretty much
if you want to text through your suggestions for the best Friday jams.
We'll play the best one.
The best one.
The best one.
Zuh.
Zuh.
After brand new 660, their new record dropped today.
This is on it.
It's called Long Gone.
Friday afternoon on ZM.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM. Do you have, the podcast. ZM.
Do you have a crazy amount of annual leave?
Do you have a really good amount?
Do you have more annual leave than you have to work in a year?
Wouldn't that be good?
Well, I mean, it was a big thing in Aussie for a long time,
all the people that would work out in the mines.
Yeah.
And you do two weeks on, two weeks off.
That was the best roster you could get.
They spend like 12 to 14 hours a day underground, a lot of them, don't they?
Oh, it's not an easy job.
It's brutal.
But some places you do a month on and a month off.
Yeah, I could do that.
So you work six months a year.
Yeah, that'd be fun.
But this is big news for BNZ employees who will be now getting six weeks of annual leave a year,
which has bumped up from four and increased
to six.
That's good.
That's awesome.
Just out of the, what, kindness of their heart, they're going to give them 50% more annual
leave.
I don't know if it's 50.
50%?
Yeah.
Well, what's half of four weeks?
Two.
Oh, so it is.
Oh, but.
It's a 50% increase.
What's
going on? What's wrong with you?
They had four weeks.
Right. And they've gone up to six weeks.
Yeah. So it's been increased by
50%. Right, yeah, no, I see what you're saying.
Yeah. Yeah. Why did they get it?
They pretty much said
they wanted to
give their employees more leave,
extended parental leave, and also flexible hours
because they're keeping with the focus of well-being.
That's great.
Everybody deserves that much leave.
Which I totally agree.
Good on BNZ for doing that.
I reckon that's a really nice thing to do for your staff, if you can.
It helps if your company is pulling in millions and millions of dollars if you can afford
to.
And they should be doing that because they can afford it.
And I think it's super important for people's mental health and well-being.
It's an awesome move by BNZ.
Mad Dog's called through.
G'day, Mad Dog.
Happy Friday, mate.
Hello, Mad Dog.
How's it going?
Happy Friday.
How much annual leave do you get?
All right, so not the job I'm at now, but my last job, we used to get off on the 17th of December,
and we wouldn't come back to the 14th of February.
Whoa!
And then, like, but that's plus, like, on top of, like,
so many ruthless sick days, like,
just using my kids as, like, a ruthless excuse.
Like, oh, my kid's sick.
Mate, your kid's been sick for a month.
Oh, I don't care care i can't come to
work wait wait wait wait wait wait are you a school teacher i know no i send down oh
i'm sorry i've seen poo down the hill i'm a drain layer i see poo down the hill what you're a what
mad dog i'm a drain layer i've seen poo down the hole. He puts pipes down. Right. You like cable, Mad Dog.
Hence why our phrase should be life on the pipe.
And it's like not on the silly pipe, it's on the PVC pipe.
Yeah, we get it, big man.
Why can't you work from December until February?
Is the ground too hard?
Because the boss don't want to pay you.
He's like, oh, here, we'll just make you guys go over here
and we'll give you a little bit of money because, you know,
if you do X amount of hours, right, say during the week you do 40 hours,
right, he'll pay you for 40 hours.
If you go back to work, you do 55, 60 hours.
He doesn't want to pay you that.
Yeah, right.
He'd rather just pay you this base amount of 40 hours, six amounts.
You know what I mean?
It pays good money.
Welcome back to Talkback Radio.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've got Mad Dog on the phone.
Mad Dog,
we're going into Christmas break.
Thanks for calling, mate.
We appreciate it.
Yeah, have fun laying that cable.
And thanks for all your hard work.
Oh.
Just hung up.
Bree and Clint.
Yeah, cable delay.
ZDM's Bree and Clint.
The podcast.
From iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Coming to us live from the red carpet premiere of Disney's Frozen 2,
Dean McCarthy, come in.
Hello, Dean.
Good morning.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Yes, I'm literally the world premiere of Frozen 2,
standing on the red carpet as we speak.
They've closed down the whole street.
They're using the Dobby Theatre
and the El Capitan Theatre.
I've never seen them do that
for a movie premiere ever.
It's huge.
Keep an eye out for a six foot eight man
with a moustache
and 5,000 Instagram followers.
That's our boss, Ross Boss,
who somehow has managed to get himself
onto the red carpet
to walk the red carpet
for the Frozen premiere.
Oh my God, I will be looking out for the Frozen premiere? Oh, my God.
I will be looking out for him because I know what he looks like.
I've met him.
He's very tall.
I love a good mustache.
He's hard to miss.
And I'm going to find him.
Yeah.
Tell us, let's go with Chris Brown,
who has decided to hold a bit of a yard sale to make a bit of money on the side.
So most random thing in the entire world.
Yesterday, Chris Brown literally just, as you said,
held a garage sale at his own house in Tazana. People came in and entire world yesterday. Chris Brown literally just, as you said, held a garage sale at his own house in
Tizana. People came in and bought
his stuff. Gucci jackets,
Balmain shoes, Balenciaga.
One woman walked away with
a jacket. I think it was Armani or something. And when
she got home, she put her hands in the pocket,
found a bag of weed. Oh, whoa.
No!
Score! Gift with purchase, they call it.
Gift with purchase.
I thought you were going to say like a roll of cash or something like that,
but no, it's some old Chris Brown weed.
Yeah, I got old weed.
So, yeah, it was really weird that a celebrity would do that,
especially at their own house.
Must be strapped for cash. It's an unusual thing for someone that famous to do,
especially at their own home.
Yeah, full on.
Okay, all right, well, we'll get you back to Frozen 2 premiere.
Say hi to Ross for us. Yeah, say hi. Okay, all right. Well, we'll get you back to Frozen 2 premiere. Say hi to Ross for us.
Yeah, say hi to Ross and all the other stars, but mainly Ross.
Yeah, tell him we're not doing anything bad here in New Zealand.
That's Dean McCarthy, our Hollywood correspondent,
live out of Los Angeles.
Thanks to Amplify Kombucha.
Taste Amplified.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
That's hot girl bum.
Uh.
Friday afternoon. Oh's hot girl bum. Friday afternoon.
I do love.
You love?
Hot girl bum.
Oh, no.
I do love a good bum on someone.
I do.
I'm not going to lie about it.
Good for you, mate.
Yes.
Get it.
I am a bum girl.
Yes.
No, I shouldn't have said that.
Producer Ben and producer Ellie are in studio
Happy Friday guys
Ben congratulations
You've had an entire week's worth of radio show
To produce the high low
It's been a long time since there's been a full week
Of this show
Yeah she's been a good one
Also thank god your moustache is coming back in
Oh really
Didn't like a clean shaven Miguel?
You just look like someone I don't know.
Ben runs a full moustache, a very full moustache,
and then he whips it off for November each year
and starts from scratch.
It's been a week,
and I have already grown more hair than Clint has now.
Got him.
Yeah, it is kind of true, mate.
All right.
Here's the high-low for the week.
This is a new show.
Hey, guys.
Welcome to yet another week of Bram Clint's highs and lows,
or the high points of the week,
and unfortunately, the low points of the week.
This week, we decided to write haikus about life.
A haiku is a Japanese poem consisting of 17 syllables,
and one of us didn't quite know what that meant.
As a community, we've all written haikus about our lives.
I don't have a title for mine,
but I've tried to be as relatable as possible.
Mine goes like this.
I've lost an earpod.
What am I having for tea?
I need a haircut.
That's good
You know, it's trying to
It sums up everything
It's everyday life for everybody out there
Mine doesn't have a title either
I'm just going to title it
Life
Grated cheese for dinner
Netflix asks
You still watching?
Took my bra off
When?
Do we need to do a syllable check on yours?
Yeah, ready?
Yeah, go slowly, yeah.
Grated cheese for dinner.
Oh, that sucks.
Grated cheese for...
Damn it!
And last week, this was said on here.
I think the most famous person I've ever kissed on the lips.
Tom Sainsbury.
No, I haven't had the pleasure.
He's so cute. I would definitely kiss him. So Ellie and I decided to get the man lips? Tom Sainsbury. No, I haven't had the pleasure. He's so cute.
I would definitely kiss him.
So Ellie and I decided to get the man himself,
Tom Sainsbury, in the studio to give them both a kiss.
Tom's just walked into the room carrying a dozen roses.
How are you here to kiss?
Well, I'm here to kiss both of you.
Are you?
Yeah, I am.
I've literally just had a coffee.
Yeah, perfect.
Don't try and...
We are kissing, mate.
We are kissing. All right, here we coffee. Yeah, perfect. Don't try and... We are kissing, mate. We are kissing.
All right, here we go.
That was lovely.
That was so, so good.
I do love a man kiss.
So I'm going to take these roses away from you and go to the next one.
It's a beautiful thing.
Do you want me to really turn it on?
I'd love you to really turn it on.
Okay, get ready.
Okay, three, two, one.
Oh, it's open now.
Wait for a full one.
Oh, it's open now. I'm up full one. Oh, it's open mouth.
I'm talking to it.
Oh, I feel funny.
You're a good kisser.
He's a really good kisser.
I can't believe...
I've kissed a celebrity.
This week we asked you,
why did you get suspended?
David came in hot
with a great story,
but it turns out
Brie was more interested in him
than the story itself.
Hey, David.
Hello.
Hi, David.
What happened?
It was my first date
and I thought me and the lads
would be good to go
have a wee smoke.
Your accent,
can I say, David,
before you continue,
I love.
That is a hot accent.
Thanks, man.
Hey, mate,
I think the same
about your Aussie accent.
It's cracking.
Appreciate that, David.
What about my Kiwi accent, David?
S*** you, bro.
Love it.
So you and the boys
are smoking the Mary J at school.
Got it.
Yeah.
And then we walked back and the teacher was asking where we were
and we were saying that we were just having our beer down the Liffey.
No idea what you said, but I enjoyed everything in this.
And I thought I'd end on the biggest high of the week.
Do you think, Ali, do you think this needs a drumroll?
I think it definitely needs a drumroll.
Because I wouldn't normally do a drumroll.
I think it definitely needs a drumroll. Okay, here we go do a drum roll. I think it definitely needs a drum roll.
Okay, here we go.
Let's do a drum roll.
This was said on air, finally.
Tell us the story, you're in a safe place.
Okay.
Recently, I have started seeing someone.
Okay.
No, we're not making a big deal out of it.
We're not making a big deal out of it.
Can we make a small, big deal about it?
No, no.
We know this.
We've got to get to the story. This is not news to us. Can we make a small, big deal about it? No, no. We know this. I'm gonna get to the story.
This is not news to us.
We've been waiting.
Can we have two seconds?
Just two seconds.
Look at the producers
that are giving me the thumbs up.
Well done.
Yeah.
It's out there.
Hey, Ben,
I know you said that was the last bit,
but I'd really like to touch on
this off-air moment of Clint
because I think it gives you
a really good insight
into what he's really like. Like a positive
insight? A positive, really great
insight. Friendly, lovely.
Play it. Check, check, check. Hello, hello,
hello. When the mics are off.
I'll send you that Reddit thread.
Five minutes later.
Ben, where's this
thread of this suspension thing?
Is it on the sheet?
Are you joking?
He literally just walked in here thread of this suspension thing. Is it on the sheet? Are you joking? Right.
He literally
just walked in here
and said
I just sent you guys
the link to the thing.
Where is it?
Ringway.
Mother f***ing
line.
I won't do the brain.
I have no memory
of what you said.
What do you mean?
He literally just said
I have no memory
of it.
And that's the high load for the week.
Join us next week for another week of the Brian Clint Show.
That's been, I think, my favourite off-air moment.
That wasn't me.
That was a voice actor who sounds remarkably similar.
He has no memory.
Oh, I love it.
ZM's Brian Clint, the podcast.
We are the leading show for maritime and aviation-based news.
Nobody even remembers how or why we assumed the mantle
of being New Zealand's leading.
It was just pure fact.
Yeah, right.
We did the research of what was being broadcast,
and we are the leaders.
Yeah, also those looking for maritime and aviation news,
we found were being drastically underserved with news.
So we said, you know what?
We can take up that.
We can take that on.
I had a thought the other day that I just want to throw in here
before we get to this amazing gayviation news.
It's our first gayviation news too.
Yeah, I thought, you know, maybe next year or something
we could like open and spread our wings into,
maybe we could, because we are the leaders in maritime and aviation,
maybe next year we could even take the crown of rail.
Rail-based news.
There's not a lot of it.
Like we could just say that we are now.
I'm happy to say it and just include it.
Maybe just.
And just if it ever comes up, if there's ever some rail news.
I do love to ride that rail.
Anyway, can we get into this gayviation news?
Of course.
Do you mind if I can get into this?
Yes.
What's happening?
No, the sound effect's been messed with again.
And I told you this is our first rainbow aviation news.
What you just did by changing that sound effect, that's homophobic.
What you just did.
Yeah, it should have been more.
Let's try this one.
There we go.
Air New Zealand is launching a rainbow flight from Auckland to Sydney.
This is great.
So on February the 28th next year, a special flight to Sydney for Mardi Gras.
We need to catch this flight.
And go to Mardi Gras.
Hell yes, we do.
So it's a bit of a party on board.
The whole flight is themed.
When you get on, you will be entertained by two drag divas on board the flight as well.
Oh, yes, please.
Buck Wheat will be on there.
And also Tess Tickle.
I'm so keen.
Tess Tickle.
That's a great name. Tess Tickle will be on the flight. Tess. Tessess Tickle That's a great name
Tess Tickle will be on the flight
Tess
Tess
Tickle
Tess Tickle
Wait I didn't get it
Tess
Tess
Tickle
Tickle
Tess Tickle
Will be on the flight
Specially themed cocktails
Are going to be available on board
That's a hoot
Plus prizes, games
And dancing on the flight
There's going to be dancing on the flight
Do you reckon And I always have this I guess fantasy Plus prizes, games and dancing on the flight. There's going to be dancing on the flight.
Do you reckon, and I always have this, I guess, fantasy that Britney Spears will come out like she does in the film clip for Toxic?
Yes.
This would be the place to do it for Britney.
With Martin Henderson.
Yes.
Yeah.
That would be a great option as well.
I would love to see that.
And we'd go down a hoot on the Mardi Gras.
It's called theardi Gras flight.
The Pardi Gras.
Is it actually coloured rainbow?
Because I saw a picture
but I don't know if it's real.
No, it'd cost a lot of money
to colour a plane.
Does it cost a lot of money?
Yeah.
Planes aren't that big, are they?
They're a little bit big.
499 return.
That's good.
That's pretty good.
That's awesome.
That's almost cheaper
than a regular flight to Sydney.
I do worry about,
I don't worry,
it's their problem,
but imagine that your slightly backwards older uncle gets on that flight
and he doesn't know he's on the party graph flight
and all of a sudden he's in a rainbow paradise.
He is so far out of his depth.
He's just, the one guy's like, I'll have a window seat, please.
Window seat.
Hey, that would, I think, maybe make him embrace
the rainbow community.
Once he saw how fun it was.
Oh, it'd be so much fun.
The Pardigra flight.
That's Friday, February the 28th.
Possibly the most fun way
to go to Sydney for Mardi Gras
if you're looking to do it
on Air New Zealand.
Did we say it was on Air New Zealand?
Air New Zealand.
We've got to get on that flight.
I'm keen to get on it.
And, interesting, I did read the hosties don't have to point out the exits on that flight.
Why not?
Because everyone knows where they are.
Gonna let that one simmer for a second.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Shall we play the one second song challenge?
Time is waiting.
You only get one second
of a song.
No hesitating.
You only got one second.
One second.
Oh, this game is so easy.
You're a dick.
This is the game where
Bree and I compete. Well, it's meant to be a dick. This is the game where Bree and I compete.
Well, it's meant to be a competition.
At guessing songs based on one second of audio.
Are you right over there?
Oh, I just feel like...
You know how some people say the All Blacks were too good for too long
and that's why they lost the World Cup?
Because no one was challenging them enough?
No one?
No one was challenging them enough. No what? No one was challenging them enough.
Challenging?
All I'm saying is the score for the year is 32 games to one,
and I'd really like you to put some effort in this week, Bree.
Oh, that's a nerve there.
Mate, you're treading on ice,
because I believe I've only lost the last however many games by one point.
Exactly.
You're very close. You're very close.
You're very close.
Oh, don't patronise me.
Maybe this week is the week that Bree is going to do it.

ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
If you've ever failed your driver's test,
this story might make you feel a little bit better.
Okay.
Because there's a man...
Is this directed at me, is it?
Is this a personal attack on me?
Have you? Did you fail?
Maybe.
How many times? Just once. personal attack on me? Have you? Did you fail? Maybe. How many times?
Just once.
Okay.
Was it manual or auto?
It was the scratchy test.
It was my learner's.
It wasn't even in a car.
I think I failed that too.
Oh, okay, good.
Yeah.
Good.
Okay, sweet.
But I didn't fail the real driving test.
Oh, no, smash that.
Yeah, smash that.
That's all that matters, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Get me behind the wheel, baby.
I'm good to go.
Who cares about the road rules?
It's just the theory. And as I say, as I've always said, and I think you say it too, theory's all that matters, right? Yeah, yeah. Get me behind the wheel, baby. I'm good to go. Who cares about the road rules? It's just the theory.
And as I say, as I've always said, and I think you say it too, theory shmeary.
Right?
Right?
That's how you should live your life.
Exactly.
I've got street smarts.
That's all you need.
Get me on the road and I'm good to go.
That's something this guy didn't have after he failed his driving theory test 27 times.
Oh, he failed the... Okay, if you're failing it 27 times,
you need to stop saying theory shmeary.
You need to start study smutty.
Yeah.
Anyway, so the guy has failed.
27?
27 times.
And we shouldn't laugh.
No.
But.
No, we shouldn't laugh because he may have passed now.
There needs to be a limit.
So he hasn't passed yet.
Good.
He came up with a plan where he hired and paid an impersonator
to sit the test for him.
So he paid a guy over $1,000, New Zealand,
because this isn't in New Zealand, but he paid him a lot of money.
There wouldn't be 27 questions.
That's the thing.
For him to fail it that many times.
He'd be answering the same questions again.
Yes, exactly.
Okay, so he pays someone to sit his license for him.
So he paid an impersonator to go in and sit this test.
Anyway, it was all good.
The guy sat the test and he passed.
That's a bad impersonation because if he was doing a real impersonation
of that guy, he would have failed.
But he'd failed so many times and the people there at the,
obviously where he takes the test, knew him so well,
they were like, that's not you.
Yeah, cool.
Anyway, so he got taken to court for fraud, which he.
How did he get to court?
Uber.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then he ended up doing it again and hired another better,
more lookalike impersonator and went to a different place.
This guy by this stage must have spent thousands and thousands of dollars.
Well, it would have cost a fortune, absolute fortune.
Anyway, the guy passed, the second impersonator passed also.
Yeah.
And he got given the licence, so it was all good.
Yeah.
And then was later revoked after his name was put two and two together
with this fraud case.
Yeah, they go, oh, that's the fraud guy.
Yeah, so they were just like, no.
Not that it should impact at all.
Do we have a country of reference for this story?
I think it's somewhere in Britain.
Okay.
Yes.
Because the story mentions pounds.
He paid the person in pounds.
Oh, okay. So the story mentions pounds. He paid the person in pounds. Oh, okay.
So it must be somewhere.
Poor guy.
27 times.
27 is the record.
Surely 27 is the record.
It would be.
There's no one out there this afternoon who has failed their driver's licence 27 times.
No way.
No.
Or any kind of test 27 times.
But if you've failed a couple of times
and you're willing to have a laugh with us this afternoon,
why don't you give us a call?
Bree and I are failures too.
We both failed the theory part.
We both did.
Okay, we failed.
So I'm a one-time failure.
How many times are you?
I'm a one-time.
One-time failure.
But I'd also like to hear from the people who have failed
the actual practical driving test.
And I'd like to hear why you failed.
One of my best friends was doing his driver's test.
Yeah.
And he was in the car and he was doing 50 k's an hour.
And the driving instructor said,
okay, now speed up to 70 k's.
And he speed up to 70 k's.
And then he goes, this is a 50 k area.
No, that's not fair.
That's a real story.
And he goes, but you told me to speed up.
And he goes, yeah, you have to learn to deal with peer pressure.
That is a trap.
It's a true story as well.
That is such a trap.
My driving instructor told me to do a burnout at the end.
And did you?
Yeah.
And did you pass?
Yeah, he was like, I just wanted to see if you could do it.
And he goes, that was sick.
Australia is a very different country to New Zealand.
0800 dial ZM with your driver's license stories.
How many times did you fail?
Was it in the car?
What happened?
What did the instructor get you to do?
We want to hear about it this afternoon.
I'm so keen for these stories.
0800 dial ZM.
You can text 9696.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
A man has failed his driving theory test 27 times
and then he decided to hire an impersonator for over $1,000
to go in and sit it for him.
But everyone at the place, I mean, he's been there so many times
to take the test.
They were like, this is not you.
No.
And so he's been done for fraud.
You have to know absolutely no idea about driving or cars
or anything to fail 27 times.
Let's be real.
You have to be dangerously incompetent.
Exactly.
Like if you've failed 27 times,
you probably shouldn't have your licence.
Like questions like,
do you need to wear a seatbelt whilst driving?
Ooh, this seems like a trick.
I'm going to go with no.
So we've asked you this afternoon on 0800 Dial ZM,
we want your failed driving test stories.
Hi, Ange.
Hi.
Ange, tell us what happened.
Okay, so I have failed my full licence in New Zealand three times.
Okay.
The first was like, you know, like when they check your Brake light or something
And that didn't work
And then the second time I drove from Auckland to Whangarei
To sit it
And then she tripped me by asking me to do
Something that I did but I should have
Known better not to
Same as my friend
What was the thing she asked you to do
So she was like oh can you turn right at the roundabout
But I wasn't in the right lane.
So I was like, oh, yeah, sure.
So I indicated.
This is where it's all bull crap because when you get in the car,
you sign a thing that says you will do exactly what the instructor tells you to.
I know.
Those are the rules.
It's a bit unfair.
It's calling me a liar.
Yeah.
And I was like, ooh.
Okay.
And then the third time I was like mentally scarred and just like freaked out.
But, Brie, I feel like you'll appreciate this.
Yeah.
I moved to Australia and then they just gave me a full licence.
Sounds about right.
Yep.
Well, no, you didn't do any driving.
Do a burnout and maybe drop a few skids and they're like, yep, licence.
You just go in the office and they go, all right, Old North Ford.
And you go, hold on, baby.
And they're like, boom.
Yeah, and they go, you're in Old Nor Ford. And you go, Holden, baby. And they're like, boom. And they go, you're in.
You're in.
Here's your license.
So now I've moved back to New Zealand and I've got all of a sudden a full license.
Amazing.
You hacked the system.
That's fantastic.
Someone on the text machine said that I got my license in South Africa.
The instructor fell asleep during my test.
So I coughed to wake him up as I didn't know where to go.
Dot, dot, dot, I passed.
Yeah.
I think he goes, oh, look, I'll give you a licence if you don't tell anybody.
Pretty much.
Damien, you big failure.
Welcome to the show.
How many times you fail your licence, big guy?
All right, bro, so I only failed it once,
but it was a bit of a palaver of a situation.
So I was going for my full license in Christchurch,
and I'd just come off shift work,
so I went for my license, and the dude did the test,
and at the end he said, oh, you failed.
And I said, oh, why is that?
And he goes, oh, you ran a stop sign.
And I was too tired to argue with him,
so I was like, oh, yeah, whatever, sweet as.
And then a week later, this dude turns up at home,
and he said, oh, Damien Brixton, you did your license test on week later, this dude turns up at home.
And he said,
oh, Damien Brixton,
you did your licence test on this date, blah, blah, blah.
And I said, yeah,
well, what's up?
And he goes,
oh, we're investigating
the instructor
because he's being done
for 200 counts of fraud.
Oh my God.
What?
Why?
So the whole thing was
is that, as an example,
he was only supposed
to test 15 people a day,
but he was failing people
on purpose so he could test
30 a day, so 30 a day
means more money in the pocket for him.
What an arsehole.
He made me get in the car and go for a drive
and they said, right, so where'd you fail?
And I said, oh, right here. And he said, but that's a giveaway sign.
I went, yeah, you're right, it is a
giveaway sign, son of a gun.
Well done, Damien. Good save there,
my friend. Well done.
Well, congrats.
Well, hey, at least they got to the bottom of it.
Damien, I'm standing up.
I'm saluting you.
That was a palaver.
I love that word, palaver.
We're proud to have you on our roads, Damien.
Let's talk to Maxine.
Hi, Maxine.
Hello.
What happened to you?
Did you fail?
Yeah, mate.
My motorbike learner's license, I had to do a practical test.
Yes.
You did a wheelie, didn't you?
Yeah, I tried, but I fell off.
Yeah.
Did you actually, wait, you actually fell off the motorbike?
Yeah, I went around a little corner, honestly.
Oh, no.
It was like in this area where you were riding your bike.
You had to ride your bike in this area with everyone else.
And I went around this corner, and I skidded off on gravel and I fell off.
Yeah, but did you look dope?
No, I felt like a dick, but I failed.
Who looks dope falling off?
You know, the super motorbike riders?
The crusty demons.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, well, I wasn't crusty.
You might have been a bit crusty after your scabs came through.
Were you okay, Maxine?
Yeah, I was fine.
And so the next time I said, well, screw you guys.
I'm going to hire your 50cc little scooter that doesn't go fast,
and I'm going to use that, and I'm going to do that.
Good idea.
And I'm going to crash it.
Did you pass?
I passed.
Nice work, Maxine.
Well done.
Yeah, man.
Oh, my God.
She got the leather jacket and everything.
One more text on this for when do you fail your driver's test.
Someone texted through.
They said, Bree and Clint, I know a girl who hit a parked car during her practical test
and she still passed fielding, yo.
Yeah.
Wow. Do you reckon that was Caitlin? She's from fielding, yo. Yeah. Wow.
Do you reckon that was Caitlin? She's from fielding. Could have been.
ZM's Bree and Clint, the podcast.
Last night, Bree,
I took myself
on a date.
Just me. Because, Bree, it's important
to remember, okay? It's important to remember
you should go and love yourself.
You know when you can.
What did you decide
to treat yourself to?
It's a little backstory.
Yes.
My wife, Lucy,
who I love very much,
and my baby, Tui,
who I love just as much,
are not here this week.
Are they listening right now?
No, they don't get Zed in
where they are
unless they have iHeartRadio on,
in which case, Alexa, change the radio station.
No, they're away for the week.
Our house is getting painted, so they've gone away to her parents' place.
So you had some time to yourself.
I've had the whole week to myself.
And selfishly, it's been good to catch up with you.
I went out with you for a night.
Yes, caught up with Ben.
Watched Top Gun with producer Ben.
The only person you haven't caught up with is producer Ellie.
She came to the house the other day and met Tui, okay?
You've all had your one-on-one Clint time.
Let's not get jealous of each other, okay?
No, we're all jealous.
We want more.
Last night was all about me though.
Last night.
This is how it happened.
So truth be told, I don't know what to do with myself.
Right.
Now that Tui and Lucy are not around.
You're kind of like, wait, what is this feeling that I have?
It's too much freedom.
It's free time.
Yeah, and I find myself just going 55 videos deep on TikTok.
I'm like, I could go to the gym.
It's a good way to spend your time.
Hit the driving range or something.
I just go into social media.
You literally said to me the other
day, you're like, I had all these plans
to do all this stuff and you're like,
and then I just end up sitting on my phone till
one in the morning and then I'm like, what have I
done all night? It's so true. But last night
I thought, no, no, there's one more night
of this. I'm going to make the most of it. I'm going to
do something for me. I was sitting in my backyard
at 8.30, drinking alone
and I thought, because this is the thing when you have a kid Do something for me. I was sitting in my backyard at 8.30 drinking alone.
And I thought, because this is the thing when you have a kid too,
you can't go and see new movies.
Well, no.
So I've just decided I'm not going to see Joker.
I'm not going to see any of that.
And I thought, no, I'm going to do it.
And last night at 8.30 I brought up the listings and I saw Jojo Rabbit was on at 9 o'clock.
So I took myself on a solo date to the movies.
You know what?
And I think if you are myself on a solo date to the movies. You know what?
And I think if you are going on a solo date,
it's the safest and best place to do it is at the movies.
Because no one can see you crying in the dark.
Exactly.
No one looks at you and goes, oh, look at that sad person.
I went down to the movies.
I bought myself a chop top and I bought myself a glass of wine.
And sat in the back row.
I picked a seat where there was no one else around. I had a whole row to myself.
These guys then came and sat right
next to me. I'm like, dude, the cinema is empty.
You could sit anywhere and they sat beside
me but that was okay. I thought you were going to say
and then I went into the cinema
and I saw someone and I sat next
to them to make me feel like I wasn't alone.
Awkwardly went and sat with them
but no, it was nice. It is nice to do stuff by yourself feel like I wasn't alone. Awkwardly went and sat with them, but no, it was nice.
It was a nice bit of personal time.
It is nice to do stuff by yourself sometimes.
I have not told my wife about it because...
She didn't want to see that film, did she?
It doesn't matter whether she wanted to or not.
We're not going to be able to go to the movies
for the next six to 12 months.
I thought you were going to say six to 12 years.
It's just one of those situations, probably that too.
It's one of those situations where I would pick up the phone and go,
I had the nicest night last night, Luce.
And I was going to share it, but I picked up the phone.
Don't do that.
She goes, I said, morning, babe.
And she goes, hey, Tui didn't sleep at all last night.
And I was like, oh, man, me neither.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
Okay, enough mucking around.
And now it's time for Brie and Clint the podcast ZM okay enough mucking around and now it's time for Brie and Clint's
most popular segment
Friday Oki
I love Friday Oki
it's the best
I listen every Friday
I never miss Friday Oki
thanks Brie and Clint
you've made my Friday
again
Friday Oki
the only thing that animals hate more than fireworks,
it's Friday Oki, where we attempt to sing for you
to see who is the least worst on a Friday afternoon.
Because we're both not great.
I am probably one of the most tone-deaf people
I have ever encountered myself.
And yet we persist.
This week, Brie has chosen
this song
for a very tenuous tie-in.
Why is Carly Rae Jepsen
She is coming to New Zealand
in like three weeks.
Well let's do this song
in three weeks.
Um, you chose
a Christmas song last week.
Because it was the
first of November
when you start Christmasing.
No! It's December 1st. Anyway, um, Brie set a song last week. Because it was the 1st of November when you start Christmasing. No, it's December 1st.
Anyway, Bree said a rule last week
that if you choose the song,
you go first.
No, you go second.
No, you said last week you go first.
Didn't she?
No, if you choose the song,
you go second.
Fine, okay.
What you need to do, New Zealanders,
we get you to listen to both songs
and then we ask you if you would mind
calling 0800DALS.M and picking the winner.
If you're still listening by the end of it.
So I start? Is that what we do?
Yes.
I start? Okay.
Sorry in advance.
Here it comes.
Go, mate. Get it.
My Friday Oki of Carly Rae Jepsen.
I threw a wish in a well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked at you as it fell And now you're in my way I trade my soul for a wish in a well, don't ask me, I'll never tell. I looked at you as it fell, and now you're in my way.
I'd trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss.
I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way.
Your stare was holding, ripped jeans, skin was showing, hot night wind was blowing.
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you.
And this is crazy.
But here's my number.
So call me maybe.
It's hard to look right at you, baby.
But here's my number.
So call me maybe.
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad.
I missed you so bad. I missed you so bad.
I missed you so, so bad.
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad.
And you should know that I missed you so, so bad.
I'm really sorry.
Yeah, not something I'm proud of there.
I didn't think it was that bad.
You reckon?
Yeah, you're on time.
You know when something is so far above your range
Your voice did sound strained in a few parts
I've been thinking about doing some vocal warm ups
And maybe that would help to loosen it up
But um
Oh well
What is it?
Unique New York
Red lorry yellow lorry
Red lorry yellow lorry
I E I O U
Here comes Brie
You need to hear both before. Here comes Brie.
You need to hear both before you vote, okay?
Brie's attempt at Carly Rae Jepsen for Friday Okie.
This is ZM. I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this, but now you're
in my way, your stare
was holding, ripped jeans
skin was showing, hot night
wind was blowing, where you think you're
going baby? Hey
I just met you, and
this is crazy, but
here's my number, so

hard to look right at you, baby.
But here's my number, so call me maybe.
Before you game into my life, I miss you so bad.
I miss you so bad.
I miss you so, so bad.
Before you game into my life, I miss you so bad.
And you should know that I miss you so, so bad. So Callie Rae Jetson would sound like if she was from Queensland.
I'll take that as a compliment.
We're looking for your votes now.
Okay, we're about to open the phone lines.
0800 dial ZM.
Five votes will pick the winner.
Some early feedback coming through.
Guys, I'd prefer you play that fart song that you played yesterday
instead of this segment.
Someone else said it's getting really hard to convince the office
to keep ZM on when you're playing Dying Cats on the radio.
What about the person that goes, call me maybe, maybe not.
We love it.
Keep those texts coming through.
We appreciate it.
We'll take five votes and crown a winner for Friday Oki,
as we do every Friday.
ZM, Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Friday Oki.
I just realised something about Friday Oki.
This may be New Zealand's only non-vegan radio segment
because any animals that hear this have definitely been harmed.
Yep.
You know?
It's true.
There's a pitch, especially this week,
that I think is just so shrill.
It's so hard to listen to.
So if you have survived this far,
thank you.
We appreciate you.
This week we sung Carly Rae Jepsen.
I sounded like this.
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad And Bree sounded like this.
I'm not going to lie.
I think it's one of my better weeks.
I think.
Let's see if people agree.
Hi, Rebecca.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Hello, Bec.
Happy Friday.
You're casting the first vote in Friday Oki this week.
Who you got?
Well, I went based on my dog's reaction.
Right.
And he did actually look around the car looking for the cat when Clint was singing.
Yeah.
He loves the cat.
It's a good thing.
Yeah.
No, he doesn't like cats.
That's the thing.
He got really excited.
But I liked Clint better.
Oh.
I have to say.
I love that you're even surprised.
I do think you're improving each week.
You think I'm improving?
Yeah, I think you're improving.
I thoroughly appreciate it.
And I'm not?
Well, Bree.
Yeah, no, that's fair enough.
Fair enough, yeah.
That's good feedback.
Hi, Sean.
Hi, Sean.
G'day, g'day.
How are we?
Oh, pretty good for a Friday.
Not good after that though, Sean?
Oh, well, I'll tell you what.
Bree, I think you actually were pretty good this week, eh?
Thank you, Sean.
I appreciate that.
Good enough to get your vote?
Yeah, yeah.
She gets the vote.
Clint, mate, you just climbed too much into your throat,
into your head voice. It was easily strained, bro. you just climbed too much into your throat, into your head voice.
It was easily strained, bro.
If you've got to sit in your chest voice,
you did imitation.
You imitated.
You should have sung your own voice, cousin.
Okay, Sean, I appreciate that.
That's good advice, Sean.
Are you saying maybe draw more from the diaphragm
than from the back of the throat?
Yeah, your tongue was rising up in the back of your throat.
You're hitting your head notes, cousin.
It was straining.
It was too brief and way more comfortable. Thank you, notes because it was straining. It was way more comfortable.
Thank you, Sean.
Sean knows his stuff.
Yeah, he does, doesn't he?
Okay, it's one all.
Hey, Vae.
Hi, Vae.
Hello.
Tell us what you think, Vae.
Friday, Oki.
What are you thinking?
Sorry, Bree.
You can't sing.
You just can't sing.
Yeah, no, that's the point of the segment, Vae.
I don't know.
How do you tell someone they can't sing? What's after you can segment, Vae. I don't know. How do you tell someone they can't sing?
What's after you can't sing?
Like, I don't know.
I'm sorry, just not today, Breeze.
Hey, Vae, no, don't sugarcoat it.
Tell me what you really think, Vae.
Okay, Vae, we appreciate your vote.
Thank you very much.
That makes it 2-1 to me.
Peter's here.
I need this vote, Peter.
Hey, Peter.
Hey.
Come on, Peter. Happy Friday to you.
Happy Friday to you, brother. Who you got?
What did you like? What did your gut tell you
is the song that wins Friday Okie this week?
Look, purely
based on the fact that it was
so far out of your range, I really
thought you put in a good, decent
effort, so my vote goes to Clint.
Wow. I feel robbed
this week, I have to be honest.
Most of the time I can be like,
yeah, no, that's fair enough.
I know the feeling
when you think you did better.
Yeah.
I do feel like I was better.
But I also think that you think
you did better than you did.
Like listening to you and...
No, yeah, probably.
But I think it's better than yours.
That's fair enough too.
Peter, you've just handed me the win,
so I appreciate that.
You have a great weekend, okay?
Yeah, thanks. Thanks, Peter. Let's just the win, so I appreciate that. You have a great weekend, okay? Yeah, thanks.
Thanks, Peter.
Let's just round it out with one more vote.
Dylan's here.
Oh, drop Dylan.
Ellie, producer Ellie, who was Dylan voting for?
Sorry, Brie, it was for Clint as well.
Well, no, he dropped out, so we actually don't know who.
But he still won.
I feel really robbed this week.
I feel robbed.
Mate, you're tone deaf.
You don't know if you did well.
Whoa.
No, I love you.
I'm kidding.
Seriously, I have to go spend the weekend after this bloody onslaught on me.
Maybe some sort of redemption round next week.
But in the meantime.
My confidence is at an all-time low.
I'll take the victory.
Can't believe the shrieking cat has beat me this week.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's birthday banger.
That was good, eh?
Crushed it.
Thank you.

Not anymore, though.
That's a classic.
No, they got well sued for that.
They got sued.
Do you like that?
You an Eminem fan?
Yeah, it's good. I was hoping for more of a pop banger, but yeah, I'm You an Eminem fan? Yeah, it's good.
I was hoping for more of a pop banger, but yeah, I'm down with Eminem.
Pretty iconic, though.
You want some up vibes in your birthday banger, don't you?
Yeah, I want some really good late 90s, early 2000s pop.
Yeah, and you've got the right age for it as well.

There's someone inside my computer at the moment
And I can't figure out who it is
Saying Ross is away, time for a triple play time for more five who is saying that i don't know
who it is but i'm tempted i'm i'm really tempted and there is one more really good five song that
deserves playing let's see let's start it and then we'll feel it if we want.
We'll know.
Well, there's 13 seconds.
I think we'll know.
Let's start it.
Yeah, okay.
Let's start it.
So there's 13 seconds where we could stop it and get out.
Okay, great.
As a safety.
And then as a duo, you and I, we will be able to look at each other and know.
We'll have to think on our toes though.
Okay, you ready?
All right.
Okay, count me in.
Count me in.
Three, two, one.
Six seconds.
We might have to delete some ad breaks at this rate.
Two, one.
We're doing it.
Let's play. The Better Things Are Coming Our Way Gotta hold on and not stop till the break of dawn and keep moving. Don't stop rocking. Get on up when you're down, baby.
Take a good look around.
I know it's not much, but it's okay.
We'll keep on moving on anyway.
Feels like I should be screaming. Trying to get it through to my friends. Bye. Don't try it, all the bees and birds are flying Never let go, gotta hold on and Not stop till the break of dawn and
Keep moving, don't stop, rockin'
Get on up, when you're down

Keep on moving.
Keep on moving.
Keep on moving.
That might be the first ever five triple play.
Every one of the officers turned up in the studio.
They're loving it.
It's Friday.
You guys are meant to be at home.
And yet somehow we play three five songs in a row And everybody sticks around
Some good text coming through
Some major good feelings going on
I love how loose you guys are
Well Ross is away so
Literally our boss is currently on the red carpet
Pretending he's a celebrity at the Frozen 2 premiere
So that's what happens
Someone else said I had a shit
week and this made me so happy.
That's why we do it. Five,
four, three,
two, one, let's do it.
Do it.
Zidim, Spree and Clint, the podcast.
We asked you just before to
text through on 9696.
What is your top worry at
the moment? What do you worry most about?
Which I probably should have given more categories
because I think that's a pretty broad question, isn't it?
Yeah.
Someone's going to tell me how El Camino ends before I see it.
Well, that could be someone's number one worry, couldn't it?
And if it is, that's fine.
That's fine.
There's a study that's been done and it was posted on the website YouDo.
And it's pretty much the top worries for New Zealanders.
Someone's texted and said,
my top worry is Bree becoming a New Zealand citizen.
We would love to have you as a New Zealand citizen.
That one hurt me.
It's just we have a really big methane problem at the moment
with our agriculture.
Oh, no, okay, I do get that.
I do.
I understand.
I understand.
I get it.
Anyway, so from this study,
the top five worries from New Zealanders came through in the data.
And I'd like people to text through once they've heard all the categories
as to what is their top one from these five.
Sure.
And we'll see if the results are somewhat correct.
So I want you guys to do it as well, producers,
producer Ellie, producer Ben.
I'm going to give you the five and then all of you,
I want you to tell me what is your top one from those five.
Okay, cool.
Go for it.
All right.
So the first one is relationships.
Got it.
Is one of the top worries.
Work.
Appearance.
Having enough time to get everything done.
And another one of the top fives was finances.
Oh, yeah.
So out of those five things.
Time.
Having enough time to get everything done is your top concern.
Yeah, since having our baby
toady. Yeah, that's fair. It has just
evaporated. But that's just me personally.
Having enough time, which creates
stress, which creates other problems.
It's a roll on effect. That's what I'll go with.
What about you guys, producers? Producer Ben, what's your top
worry out of those five? Probably from that list, I'd
probably say time as well. Time?
Okay, having enough time to get everything done.
Yeah.
Maybe you should get up before 8.30 then.
That would help.
No, you told me last week, you're like, oh, lifeless and Ben, get up at 7.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm doing it every day and then I go back to sleep for an hour and a half.
You know what?
Well, that's fair.
Technically, he's getting up.
Because I'm tired.
I hate when people are like, oh, no millionaire gets up at 8.30.
They don't. No, they do. Yeah, but they do now that they're a millionaire. Well like, oh, no millionaire gets up at 8.30. They don't.
No, they do.
Yeah, but they do now that they're a millionaire.
Well, Drake does, but he's in the studio until one in the morning.
I love Drake.
Ellie?
Finances.
Yeah.
You said finances.
That would be a really big one.
Yeah.
Everything is getting more expensive except the amount you get paid, right?
Exactly.
Exactly right.
So I'm going to give it to you from five backwards.
Okay.
So the number five.
So is it for Kiwis?
For Kiwis, the number five top concern,
the most thing people are worried about is appearance at number five.
Yeah.
Which I get that because it's becoming a lot more, I guess,
prominent in society these days that people care.
But it's number five.
We're least worried about that one.
Yeah, but it's still one of the top five.
Yeah, but this is the country where you wear jandals to a wedding.
Yeah, it's true.
But people are just more concerned about going to the gym and what they eat and all that stuff,
which is not a bad thing.
Number four?
Number four is relationships.
Yeah.
Which I feel like that should be one.
Relationships is a broad term.
Like workplace relationships, personal relationships.
Romantic relationships.
What is it?
Your new relationship.
Okay, moving on.
The top three.
Because you're in one.
Biggest worry.
Yes, yeah, okay, whatever.
The top three is work.
Yeah.
Which I kind of get that one.
That's probably, you know, it's where people spend most of their time.
Yeah.
So, of course, they're going to worry about that.
Number two is having enough time to get everything done,
which means finances are the top concern for Kiwis right now.
It's unfortunate.
I think it would be the case for most of the world, though.
But, yeah, it is unfortunate.
Doesn't it suck that, you know, that is one of the top concerns in life?
Live to work or work to live, am I right?
Yeah.
What did my pa used to say?
He was like, I work to actually live.
Yeah.
I don't live to work.
So he knew exactly what I was talking about.
Yeah.
I remember hearing that from him when I was really young,
and he was definitely someone who actually lived and breathed that quote.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's interesting. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's interesting.
Yeah.
Okay.
Enjoy your weekend, New Zealand.
Relax.
Yes.
Take some you time.
And like I said earlier in the show.
You should go and love yourself.
You know?
Nice.
Interpret that how you want.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
We've got some McDonald's news.
Somewhere I'm sure a lot of Kiwis are going to end up tonight Tomorrow morning
Tomorrow night
Yep
Late into the early hours of Sunday morning
Yes
Sunday brunch
Sunday night
And then Sunday night as well
Yeah
It's a multi-purpose meal
Especially now that they do a 24-hour breakfast menu
This story that is doing the rounds is from a McDonald's in Rolleston,
which is just outside of Christchurch, isn't it, producer Ben?
Rolleston?
Yep, mate.
That's really close to where my parents live, actually.
Oh, okay.
It's got seven days.
Oh, your parents could go get a part of this.
Yeah, I actually didn't even know they had a McDonald's there.
In Rolleston?
Yeah.
Looks fairly new.
Yeah, it would be.
From what I can see.
Yeah.
The shift manager in Rolleston, her name is Lizzie Tremaine,
said at 5pm on Tuesday this week,
some people were in the drive-thru,
and the lady who was paying for her food
just randomly said to the teller,
hey, I'd like to pay for the car behind me as well.
She didn't know the car behind her,
and it's, I guess, a truly selfless act
because by the time you've paid for it
and the other person finds out.
You're gone.
You're gone.
Yeah.
So the next person pulls up to the window
and she said, hey, that lady in front paid for your order.
And it wasn't a small order.
The order behind her was about 50 bucks.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Right.
So I never, like, it always amazes me what obviously triggers something in someone to do something like that.
You know, where they just think, oh, I'm going to pay for that person's meal today.
As a scout, as a Boy Scout, the motto of the Boy Scouts is to do one good turn every day.
Yeah.
So maybe this person had a scouting background.
I don't know.
But this is what it does.
This is what it inspires.
So this person who had their meal paid for and wasn't expecting it
was so overwhelmed, they said,
oh, well, I would like to pay for the person behind me then.
Cool.
And so they then paid for the car behind them.
And then when that person got up to the window,
they then said, what the heck is going on?
I was here willing to pay for a meal.
I'd like to pay for the car behind me.
It went on for eight cars.
Eight cars in a row were so taken aback by this thing
at the Rolleston McDonald's in the South Island
that they paid for the car behind them
even though they didn't have to.
So who was the selfish person that broke the chain?
Exactly right.
Who was in car number eight?
Who is that person?
And they went,
Chirp.
Literally. Which you are well within your rights to do. Yeah, I mean, you know. number eight. Who is that person? And they went, literally.
Which you are well within your rights to do.
Yeah, I mean, you know.
But what a beautiful thing if you did just keep it going. What a cool thing.
But I mean, it kind of cancels
each other out, doesn't it? It needs to
be a secret
because otherwise if I knew it was happening
and especially if I was behind you,
I would load up.
I would pull up to the window and I'd go,
can I have two of everything?
Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
And I'd get the menu and then you would pay for it
and I just hope the car behind me didn't know about it
and they just said, oh, one Filet-O-Fish, please.
That's it.
And that's it.
And you get away with paying for one Filet-O-Fish.
Anyway, eight's impressive. I thought that was a beautiful thing that's happened this week you get away with paying for, you know, one, yeah, Filet-O-Fish. Anyway, eight's impressive.
I thought that was a beautiful thing that's happened this week.
Have you ever paid for anybody's anything?
There's one story that comes to mind, makes me upset actually thinking about it.
I used to live in a suburb in Brisbane called Mount Gravatt.
Yeah.
And right near my house there was this local countdown that I used to go to every week.
And one week I went there and there was this older woman.
I reckon she would have been probably in her late 70s, quite old.
And she looked really confused at the checkout and she looked really kind of,
yeah, she didn't really know where she was.
And anyway, she had no money at the time and she'd put all the groceries through
and then I ended up paying, I think it was about $170 worth of groceries.
Wow.
Because she didn't have any money and she thought that she did.
Anyway, I talked to the girl who was serving her and she goes,
she actually comes here all the time and she's got Alzheimer's.
Oh, I see.
Anyway, I then said to the woman afterwards, I said,
oh, do you need help getting home?
She's like, oh, yep, that would be great.
She's like, and then she started crying and she actually couldn't remember where she lived.
Oh, man.
And we ended up driving around and actually had a great time and we were having a laugh
and yarning.
Yeah.
And eventually, I think it took us an hour and a half to find her house, but we found
it.
Yeah.
Found it and put her inside.
And yeah, she was very, very thankful.
But she was lovely.
That story is quite sad though, isn't it?
It was really sad.
Yeah.
But I think the saddest part for me is that she, I didn't want her to be alone.
No.
And I feel like that was probably, you know, obviously.
You did something.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
There you go, New Zealand.
If you want to feel good about yourself this weekend,
have a look at the person behind you in the McDonald's queue.
And provided they don't look too hungry,
maybe you could pay for their food.
Pick and choose, people.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
This is good news for people who constantly forget to take the pill.
Are you one of those people?
No, I'm pretty good.
You know what I do so I don't forget.
Mash it up and put it in your food like a cat?
Yeah, I drug my own food.
No, I put it in my makeup bag so that when I go to put my makeup on every day,
it's sitting right there so I don't forget.
That's a good idea.
Yeah.
Little systems.
You could also tape it to the bottle of rosé that you drink each day.
I mean, that would...
And then you wouldn't forget as well.
It would force me to remember.
Yeah, you're right.
But, yeah, so this is good news for people who do forget
because researchers have developed a new contraceptive patch,
they're calling it.
Like a stick-on patch?
Yeah, like a stick-on patch which can be worn once and then thrown away.
So essentially it's called a micro-needle patch,
where it has little needles on the other side of the patch,
and it injects you with the stuff that it needs to inject you with.
Yeah, right.
And you wear it once for a whole month.
So you just put it on.
It takes 10 seconds.
Yeah.
And then you rip it off and you're good to go.
Yeah.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
So you apply it to yourself?
Yes.
And how long does it stay on your body?
They said it can take up to 10 seconds.
Oh, yeah.
And then you take it off?
And then you take it off.
And then you're good for a month?
And then you're good for a month.
Oh, that's not a bad idea.
Yeah. And then you take it off? And then you take it off. And then you're good for a month? And then you're good for a month. Oh, that's not a bad idea. Yeah, so there's things these days where you can inject yourself every month,
which is not very fun.
People who have to do that, like people who have diabetes and things like that,
