Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi everybody, welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast. Wanted to bring my bestie in, Big Gay Gorgeous Al. You would have heard him on this podcast before. He's the guy that has Tinder on his laptop. He used my soap for his genital region. They felt so good after Mass, eh? Okay, and what else have we talked about with Al?

Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah, I didn't turn the microphones on. Why do you have to make me look so incompetent when we start this show? If you only listen to this show at three o'clock, you would think that I'm the worst radio DJ in the country. No, not you. You're great on the buttons, mate. We appreciate what you do. Hey, guys, I want to give you all a compliment.

Starting point is 00:04:57 Hey, let's start the show with some prizes. $400 on a gift card to spend at New World. Thanks to the New World Wine Awards. All you need to do is know your wines. We'll give you three. You need to tell us which one is the under $15 wine from New World. And boom, it's yours. We drink wine while we do this. Is it too early?
Starting point is 00:05:17 Is it too early? Nah. All right. We'll get it in. It's four o'clock somewhere. Is that the song? Five o'clock, I think you usually wait till... Ah, potatoes, potatoes.
Starting point is 00:05:27 We'll play next. If you want to play, call us now. Is it easy, is it easy? Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Brie and Clint's new world wine selector. Ah, it's a dramatic change of pace, isn't it? It is.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Now into a more classy environment. Do you like jazz? As a genre? As a, yeah, music genre. Can't say I've listened to a lot classy environment. Do you like jazz? As a genre? As a, yeah, music genre. Can't say I've listened to a lot of it, but my friend told me the key to jazz is it's the notes they don't play. Don't listen to it.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Yeah. Oh, right. All this week, we've got a $400 New World gift cards to give away thanks to the New World Wine Awards 2019. We'll read out three wines, and if you can correctly identify which is the New World value wine, $15 and under, then you'll win the voucher.
Starting point is 00:06:14 You can also buy a clue for $50 if you want to, which are very well-crafted clues, which will probably give away the answer. A lot of thought put into those. Or you can get rid of one of the three wines altogether, but that'll cost you $200 of your price. No one's done that yet. No. You know, I'm going to reduce it.
Starting point is 00:06:31 I'm going to say it's only $100 to do that today. I feel like the clues are better. Well, I want to chuck one of the bottles of wine out because I actually get to physically chuck the bottle out. So let's see how we go. Welcome to the show, Catherine. Hi, Catherine. Hi, guys.
Starting point is 00:06:44 How are you? How are you, Catherine? Good, thank you. Thirsty the show, Catherine. Hi, Catherine. Hi, guys. How are you? Good, Catherine. Good, thank you. Thirsty? Oh, thirsty, long-timey? Sorry? I think she said Thursday. Oh, I thought you meant like first-time caller, long-time listener.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Thirsty, Thursday. I love it. Okay, well, I'm going to hit you with three delicious wines from New World. You just tell me which one's under $15. Okay. First wine, the Chalk Hill Greenwich Tempranillo. Tempranillo. Tempranillo.
Starting point is 00:07:14 The Chalk Hill... Tempranillo. Oh, okay. We'll go with that. The Chalk Hill Greenwich Tempranillo. That's it. Sounds flesh. That's the first one.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Sounds nice. Second one, Kingston Estate, Clear Valley Shiraz. Oh, Shiraz. Or as they say in Australia, Sirah. Is that what that is? Hey, Sirah, Sirah. That's what they're talking about. Bring me two more Shirazes.
Starting point is 00:07:38 And your third wine, a Church Road Hawke's Bay Cardin A. Oh, the H is silent. Which of those is going for under $15 at your local New World? I will remind you, Catherine, you can buy a clue, which I have crafted personally for $50. Okay, I like it. I'm going to say the first one sounds very flash, so we'll say that's an expensive one.
Starting point is 00:08:06 You're eliminating the Chalk Hill. Yep. And what was the middle one, sorry? Kingston Estate, Clear Valley, Shiraz or Syrah. Syrah. Syrah. I'm going to say the white wine, the Chardonnay, is going to be the cheapie.
Starting point is 00:08:20 You're going straight for it? You want that whole $400 gift card? Look, let's wing it. Going for the Church Road Hawks Bay card today. Let us proclaim the mystery of faith. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:08:37 You made your wines, Catherine. Catherine, you have started Thirsty Thursday with a $400 New World gift card. Congratulations. Brilliant. Thank you. No problems.
Starting point is 00:08:54 There are award-winning wines for every budget at the New World Wine Awards in store now. It's a nice way to start the show, isn't it? It is a nice way. We should start the show with jazz and $400 every day. Hey, I wouldn't be opposed. Maybe less jazz. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. I know you're excited about the idea of the spree and so are a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:09:08 A Friends TV show reunion. They need to stop dangling this. Yeah? They have done for years. I mean, great. We got the Will and Grace comeback. We got the Sex and the City comeback. They keep talking about it.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I don't think it's everything. Sorry, I just had to push up the clapping bit. I was like, I hope she stops before then. Well, there's news. There is news regarding a Friends reunion. Of course there is. Over the weekend, there was a cast reunion. All six of the cast members got together
Starting point is 00:09:39 for dinner with Jennifer Aniston at her house. No, I'm joking, I'm joking. It was at Courtney Cox's house. Do you think this is a joke? It's not a joke, that's real. Do you think it's nice to play with people's feelings who are true fans of the show?
Starting point is 00:10:03 Jennifer Aniston has done an interview with radio DJ Howard Stern and she talked about the dinner that they all had and they all got together. And she actually said in this interview, she said that they would love to do a reunion. But. Well, yeah, there's a big but. This is the quote.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I will give you this straight from Jennifer Aniston in regards to a friend's reunion. She said, I honestly think we would love it, but I really think there is an idea that if there is a reboot of the show, it won't be even close to how good the original was, so why would we do it?
Starting point is 00:10:41 It would ruin it, which I think is the right way to go about it. You want it so bad. You want it so bad. You want it so bad. But then when they get there, you'll be like, oh, Chandler looks different. And what if some of the jokes don't work? You know, is it not better just to leave it as it is
Starting point is 00:10:55 and remember it how it was? No, I want to drag it until the last little bit of ounce of blood is left in it. Really squeeze it out. Yeah, just squeeze it out. Will and Grace did it. Like that Sex and the City 2 movie. You leave that movie alone. It had its reasons.
Starting point is 00:11:12 It had its reasons. Yeah, its reasons were money. The reasons were money. Samantha was still Randy. The tourism department of Abu Dhabi had bags and bags of cash to spend and they're like, how about we go to the desert? Can't believe they do blatant ads like that in movies these days.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Who would do such a thing? Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Some dog-related news. Yes, please. I heard this with Fletch, Vaughan and Megan this morning and I thought, look, it's too nice and heartwarming not to share. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:11:43 If you don't have a dog at the moment and you want one, maybe you're trying to convince your partner that you need one or your parents that you should get one, this is good news. Is it wrong that the only reason I really want to buy my first home is so I can get a dog? No, that's a good reason. I think that's fine. It's a good reason.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I think that's good. Some people do it for kids. Some people do it for financial security. Nope. Some people do it for a labradoodle. Exactly. Do you want a dog? Well, a new study has shown that dog ownership
Starting point is 00:12:10 is associated with a 24% reduction in mortality. That's good news. For us not smart people, it means dogs make you live longer. It means if you get the woofy woofy fluff fluff, it will make you do less of the diey way. Yeah. It'll make you happier and therefore you live longer. Well, they reckon that's part of it.
Starting point is 00:12:36 It has really big effects on cardiovascular health, which I guess you could say you've got something to love so your heart is in better condition. If you've already suffered a stroke or a heart attack, they said there's a 31% reduced risk of dying from other cardiovascular diseases if you have a dog. Because it makes you get out there and walk them, right? That's what they're obviously getting to.
Starting point is 00:12:58 That's a good point too. I thought it just fills you with happiness. No, it's because you're getting out there and exercising. No, there's something in that. There's something in the endorphin side of it. Also, it gives your life purpose, you know? Because you know how, I mean, it's sad. Are you saying my life has no purpose?
Starting point is 00:13:15 No, it wasn't a personal attack. Is that what you're saying? No, no, no, no, no. Because I don't have a partner and I don't have a house and I don't have a dog and I don't have a baby like you. Well, yeah, okay, sure. Yeah, it's targeted. But it's from a nice place because't have a baby like you. Well, yeah. Okay, sure. Yeah, it's targeted. But it's from a nice place because I want you to stay alive.
Starting point is 00:13:28 No, it's because you want me to get a dog so you can benefit from it. Well, I can't have a dog. We don't have room. We don't have time. So if you get a dog. I can bring it in here. Then you can bring it to work. Yep.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And I can project the love that I have, the dog love that I have onto your, that sounds bad. Yeah, that sounds weird. Hey, a little bit off topic about the walking dog thing. Yeah. Did you hear that, I think it was, now I can't remember,
Starting point is 00:13:51 I probably shouldn't talk about it because I can't remember which country. I don't think it's here. Somewhere was going to make it illegal to not walk your dog. Oh, it should be illegal. I know it should. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 But how would you police that? Do dog treadmills exist? Oh, I'd say, oh, there's a market for it. I know it should. Yeah. But how would you police that? Do dog treadmills exist? Oh. I'd say, oh, there's a market for it. Do they need their own treadmills? No. Or could they just go on a human treadmill? True.
Starting point is 00:14:14 And then you put a little TV screen in front of them. Oh, you put VR goggles on them. And then they can walk wherever they want. You can say, hey, dog, do you want to walk around Mexico today? And he's like, see, I mean, woof. And then you put him on the tree. No, I think I've uncovered a whole new market here. I think we've done it together.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Your name's on this invention too. You were there when it was invented. I was not there. Anyway, get yourself a dog, everybody. Help you live longer. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast from iHeartRadio. This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. He's on the line with us.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Dean, tell us about Grumpy Cat, who is suing from beyond the grave. Suing from the dead. We've never heard of a... Sorry, I know this sounds really disrespectful. We do love Grumpy Cat. Rest in peace. Here's the deal, right? You might remember that.
Starting point is 00:15:03 This is the cat that had the face, the grumpy face. Well, unfortunately, he was called Tartare Sauce. He passed away last year. Can you believe this? I'm going to say this slowly. The estate of Grumpy Cat, a $10 million value, by the way. The cat was worth $10 million. Suing a company for making merchandise that is using the likeness
Starting point is 00:15:23 and the image of the former deceased Grumpy Cat. So basically his family are suing these people that are trying to make all these clothes and merchandise that look like Grumpy Cats, but they're not Grumpy Cats at all. They're fake. His family of people or his family of cats? Family of real people, not cats. Yeah, there's real people running the state, not a group of cats.
Starting point is 00:15:45 Well, you never know in 2019. It's a group of family, like his family. We're talking about a cat who has 2.7 million Instagram followers and growing. So what do they post now? I guess they took so many photos of this cat when it was alive that they've got lots. Grumpy Cat's getting ready for Christmas on Instagram at the moment. I think that's a little bit early. You know, the sad thing is that Grumpy Cat wasn't that old.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Wasn't it? I think Grumpy Cat was only like six or seven when he passed away. I don't want to assume Grumpy Cat's gender but was Grumpy Cat a male or a female? Well his name was Tartasaur so I'm pretty sure it was a male. Grumpy Cat age. Grumpy Cat
Starting point is 00:16:23 died seven years old. That is not that old for a cat. Yeahumpy Cat died seven years old. Yeah, I told you. That is not that old for a cat. Yeah, it was only seven. No. I think he died of a heart attack or he had heart problems. Poor thing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Hey, Dean, Grumpy Cat could actually be a Halloween costume this year, but what are some of the most popular things people are dressing as for Halloween this year, but what are some of the most popular things people are dressing as for Halloween this year? Okay, this year, the most Googled Halloween costume in Hollywood that people will be going as, and I did not see this coming, but it is when Julia Roberts was the lady worker in the first scene in Pretty Woman.
Starting point is 00:16:58 She's wearing the blue shorts, the white top, and then she's got like a shirt wrapped around her waist, blonde wig, and a little hat. Remember when she's walking down the street? Ding. One of my all-time favourite movies. It was actually a dress. The skirt was blue, and then it was connected by this tiny piece
Starting point is 00:17:17 of material in the middle. But, yeah, I know the exact outfit. Why is that trending? I don't know. I've got no idea. That movie's 30 years old. Yeah. It came out in 1990.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Remember earlier when we were in LA this year looking for Channing Tatum, RIP. Way to bring that up. And we went past the exact house where they filmed the scene where, what's his name? Richard Gere. Richard Gere. Richard Gere climbs up the ladder to meet Julia Roberts. It was completely lost on me. I've never seen the movie.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Oh, my God. It was the best part of the tour. And Clint goes, never seen it. I'd like to see it. Dean, it was sacrilegious. I can tell you what it's about. I haven't seen it. Enough of this.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I can tell you what it's about. I could. It's about a pretty woman. Dean McCarthy out of Hollywood, thank you very much. Thanks of this. I could tell you what it's about. I could. It's about a pretty woman. Dean McCarthy out of Hollywood, thank you very much. Thanks, Dean. The latest is brought to you, see you, Dean, by Amplified. This is what I have to deal with, Dean. Kombucha.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Taste. Amplified. Bree and Clint, ZM. Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM. Looking for people to call 0800DIALZM if you got married or had your reception at an unusual or unconventional venue. Not talking a church or the beach or a park. They're all pretty standard.
Starting point is 00:18:37 What about a bar? Yeah, a bar's quite interesting. Yeah. Like if there's a story behind it. Yeah. Like if there's a story behind it. Yeah. Because there's one place over in Hong Kong who is now hosting wedding receptions and bridal
Starting point is 00:18:51 showers depending on what you want and we all know this place. Okay. Very well. Okay, I'm not super familiar with Hong Kong. No, you'll know this place. Now in Hong Kong multiple McDonald's restaurants are offering wedding packages where you can get different things. This is real.
Starting point is 00:19:20 It's wonderful. Yeah. A McWedding. A McWedding. Yeah. So there's different packages that they're offering couples who are in love. If you want to tie the knot under the arches. Tie the knot.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Tie the... Do that after the reception, please. Tie the knot. And not at a McDonald's. Well, I love this. I love anything. If something is your passion, which a lot of people would as fast food. Imagine if you met there.
Starting point is 00:19:45 You could get married there. It's wonderful. It's a shame that Burger King's not offering the same package because then you could place onion rings on each other's fingers. That would be cute. Is there any round circular item on the McDonald's menu that would substitute a ring? You could punch a hole in the middle of the beetroot. Or nugget.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Nugget. Nugget ring. So do you want to hear some of the things that you can get? So there's packages ranging between $567 NZ, which gives you the basic wedding reception. That's cheap. Isn't it so cheap? Like when you think about it, the average cost, because I did my research on this, average cost of a wedding is about 60 grand.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Is it? Yeah. No way. Really? Yes. Currently, the average cost of a wedding... My wedding was cheap. Yeah. Anyway, so $567 will give you a cheap package, which you'll still get, you know, bits and pieces, but if you want the
Starting point is 00:20:41 real, like, elaborate McDonald's wedding, it's $1,800. The McDaddy. $1,800 is great. That's a great price for a wedding reception. Can you use the playgrounds? I think so. I'm pretty sure you get balloon bouquets.
Starting point is 00:20:55 You also get an apple pie wedding cake. Look who's just called through on the topic of this already. Jake is looking to do this exact same thing, but with a different type of fast food restaurant. Jake, you're trying to convince your fiancée to get married where? At KFC. Oh, why not? Why won't she do it?
Starting point is 00:21:17 Oh, it's just not your normal place, I guess. What do you mean, why won't she do it? You could put the flowers inside a KFC bucket. Oh, no. You could hide the rings in a KFC bucket. Oh, no. I could hide the rings in a bit of chicken. No, yes. You make the bouquet out of chicken drumsticks. It's perfect.
Starting point is 00:21:33 The possibilities are endless. It's endless. Jake, where does she want to get married? We haven't, well, she hasn't really decided. We're still in the planning stage. Give her a timeline. Tell her she hasn't locked somewhere in by the end of the month that you're doing it at KFC.
Starting point is 00:21:48 And the Colonel can marry you guys. Oh, that'd be cool, wouldn't it? It would be awesome. If you guys get married at KFC, Jake, we'll chuck some money towards her. Yeah. If you guys get married at KFC, we'll chuck... What can we shout them?
Starting point is 00:22:01 Can we shout... A two-piece feed? Yeah, we'll shout everybody. This is it, Jake. If shout A two piece feed? Yeah we'll shout everybody This is it Jake If you get married at KFC We'll shout everybody At your reception A quarter pack
Starting point is 00:22:09 Yeah it's pretty catering It's pretty good Get back in touch with us If it happens If I went to a wedding And that was the catering I'd be stoked Oh it'd be legendary
Starting point is 00:22:17 It'd be great Yeah not sure the marriage Would last too long but You can always get married At BK after that Did you get married Somewhere weird That you want to tell us about this afternoon? Yeah, that's what I want to know 0800DIALSATM, you can text us on 9696
Starting point is 00:22:32 Did you get married at a weird or unconventional venue? We'd love to hear about it Weirder than McDonald's or KFC Or maybe it was McDonald's or KFC Oh, that'd be great too If you need motivation to get engaged Maybe it was McDonald's or KFC. Oh, that'd be great too. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. If you need motivation to get engaged, then this could be it because McDonald's in Hong Kong are now offering wedding reception packages. That's right.
Starting point is 00:22:56 You can get married under the arches with your loved one, nuggets, apple pie, cakes. Unless you're McChicken. Unless you're... No, I've got no more puns today. It's not a pun day. Anyway, it's a new thing. You can officially, if you go to Hong Kong,
Starting point is 00:23:17 book your wedding reception at McDonald's. Do I have to go to Hong Kong? I feel sure that you could convince a McDonald's here to do it for you. Apparently it's super popular in Hong Kong, but I don't know if they do it here yet. Is anyone here getting married in a weird place or got married in a weird place? Hi, Sophie. Hi, Sophie. Hi.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Whereabouts did you get married? On our couch. You got married on your couch? That sounds like my type of wedding. You don't like pulling up and selling at the best of times in front of a room full of people. I can't hear you a little bit. Oh, hi.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Oh, there we go. There you are. That's better. Sophie, it sounds incredibly, and don't take this the wrong way, lazy. Yes. Maybe they wanted to be casual. Is that why, Sophie? Yeah. It was $200. She came around for 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Yeah. We're married. Did you have any guests there? Two witnesses. That's it? Just two people? Yeah. I love that.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Yeah. I think that's great. And then what was the reception after that? Just Netflix? No, we went out for dinner. And we, I got a cheap dress
Starting point is 00:24:23 from China. We went and took photos with the witnesses I found down at the beautiful, at got a cheap dress from China. We went and took photos with the witnesses I found down at the beautiful, at McLaren's Hall. Perfect. So we got all these
Starting point is 00:24:30 perfect wedding photos. What about the cake? Oh, no cake. No cake. Oh, no cake. Just had a tiramisu after dinner. No cake.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yeah. A couple of cocktails at dinner. Was there any speeches? No. Did you, did you head back to the couch afterwards to consummate the marriage?
Starting point is 00:24:47 Oh, good on you. You're never going to be able to throw that couch out. No, that's your couch now for life. Yeah. It symbolises your marriage. Every time you spill pasta on it, you'll be like, hey, that's what we got married on. Oh, we've already thrown it out.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Get it dry cleaned. It's already gone. Oh, Sophie. She is a no It's already gone. Oh, Sophie. She is a no-frills Sheila. I like Sophie. Jessie, hi. Hi, Jessie. Hi. You know someone that got married at a weird place? Yep.
Starting point is 00:25:15 So, my parents, about 27 years ago, all the guests had to meet at a local school, piled them into buses, drove up north to Sheep World. Yes! Sheep World. That is more Kiwi than anything else I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:25:35 It was crack up. And while my parents and everyone was off taking photographs, all the guests sat on hay bales and watched a sheep shearing demonstration and even got in there and were able to shear bits of the sheep themselves. I love that. I absolutely love that idea. Yeah. Wow. Good fun.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Did you get in there? Did you shear a sheep? Oh, I probably did. I was six years old, so I'm sure I would have been jumping in there. It wouldn't have even been weird to you. You'd be like, oh, yeah, this is what happens. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Last one, Paul. Paul, did you get married in a weird place? Yeah, my wife and I got married in a fish and chip shop. No, no, that is the most Kiwi thing I've ever heard. Any particular reason you got married in a fish and chip shop? It was on my hickey. I looked over the beach. It had a bar inside it.
Starting point is 00:26:23 We happened to be in there one night, and the food was good. And they said, oh, we do functions as well. And you said, how about a wedding? My wife said, what about here? And I said, are you taking a pitch? And she went, no, I'm completely serious. And we spoke to the owners, and they said,
Starting point is 00:26:39 are you taking the mic? And we went, no, we're completely serious. And we ended up getting married on the 1st of April in a fish and chip shop. You got married on April Fool's Day in a fish and chip shop. Well done. What a dream woman. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:52 And I guess the catering's taken care of as well. So it's fantastic. Yep, number 27. 27. She's like, that's mine. I'm just getting married. I do. I'll be back in a second.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Give me my nuggets. I do want tomato sauce. Brie and Clint, the podcast. I think the world stopped to listen, even while most of us stopped to listen, when Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old, delivered her powerful speech at the United Nations Climate Summit last month.
Starting point is 00:27:24 And if you choose to fail us, I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. She's incredible. It's become an iconic speech, right? Yeah. Especially that last line. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Where she says, right here, right now. We will never forgive you. Ever. Anyway, it's become such an icon already and such a global reference that people have started to make remixes out of it. That's what we do. It's being memed. You know, that's what happens in the world now.
Starting point is 00:28:00 It used to be that you do that to make fun of someone. I think now it's actually a mark of respect. I agree. As well as – If you've it's actually a mark of respect. I agree. As well as – If you've been turned into a meme, respect. It's the ultimate honour, right? A hundred percent. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, a DJ by the name of David Scott
Starting point is 00:28:17 created a remix of that speech with a popular Fatboy Slim track. And Fatboy Slim loved it so much that he decided he would play it at one of his gigs. I love this. So he's dropped the Greta Thunberg remix and here it is right here. Right here, right now. Exactly. Yeah, check this out.
Starting point is 00:28:48 We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not. Right here, right now. Right here, right now. Right here, right now. Right here, right now. Right here, right now.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Right here, right now. Right here, right now. Right here, right now. Right here, right now. It's good. Can you imagine? You're in the crowd at R&B and all of a sudden that comes on.
Starting point is 00:29:24 You're like, yo, it's Gritta. Oh, my God. It's pretty powerful when you put it behind music like that, don't you think? I agree. I agree. And you and I had the thought, I mean, producer Ben here at the Brian Clint Show does our remixes.
Starting point is 00:29:37 He's very good. He's very good. And we thought, you know, let's set him a challenge. You and I wanted to challenge him because, I mean, it's good. It's not producer Ben good, though. Can it be better? So we wanted to give you 24 hours. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Two hours later, you believe you've already whipped something up in the DJ kitchen. Well, I've heard he's working on quite a lot of different things. I've decided to, just because I don't have a lot of time tomorrow, to waste on such a segment like this. So I'm like, let's just do multiple little ones to flesh it all out and have a bit of fun. You know the best one you're going to have to make into a full one, though, but that's okay.
Starting point is 00:30:10 That's true. Can we have a little, we still want to hear the finished product tomorrow. Could we have a sampler of what you've been working on? Because you know what we should do, Clint? Obviously we'll hear a sample now of one of the ones he's working on, but once we hear all of them,
Starting point is 00:30:21 we should pick our favourite and then he has to make that. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good idea, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, this should pick our favourite and then he has to make that. That's what I'm saying. Good idea. This is sitting in my session, so it's not finished. I'll give you a sample. Okay, let's hear a sample.
Starting point is 00:30:37 Right here, right now. Right here, right now. It's good, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's good. Oh, now I want more. I want more. Now I want more. Are there any more ready to go? Can we hear one more? I know you hate this because they're not finished. Yeah, I don't like this.
Starting point is 00:31:00 And you want to present the finished product. And he's a perfectionist. He's an artist. If you don't, if you don't have another one, that's okay. I mean, feel free to let everybody down. What if someone... Oh, no, he can't like this. And you want to present the finished product. And he's a perfectionist. He's an artist. If you don't, if you don't have another one, that's okay. I mean, feel free to let everybody down. Oh no,
Starting point is 00:31:08 you can't say that. What if someone can't listen at this time tomorrow and they can't hear the full versions? Even Unpolished, have you got a concept for us? Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Don't play the dirty one. Oh, you don't want that one? No, I've heard about the dirty one. Oh no, okay. Well, let's not. Let's not. Wait for tomorrow then. No, play the dirty one then.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Oh, you want to hear the dirty one? Oh no. I don't, Clint. I don't, let's not. Let's not. Wait for tomorrow, then. Now, play the dirty one, then. Oh, you want to hear the dirty one? Oh, no. I don't... I don't know what it is. Oh, no. I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Right here. Right now. Okay, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it. You asked, you asked. If you know, you know. At least that's one thing that's not... You can't do that to Greta. All right, finish my act tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Sorry, I didn't get to ask. Ben, can you get me some Italian music? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be great, thank you. He can whip that up quickly. We're just speaking about Greta Thunberg. Yeah, I think it's Thunberg. Thunberg.
Starting point is 00:32:12 And obviously her amazing speech she did last month about the environment and what we're doing and what we've done to it. And if you choose to fail us, I say we will never forgive you. Powerful. Powerful. Powerful stuff. And you know what? I'm on board with most of the environmental changes.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I'm on board with recycling and doing my beard and trying to use as least amount of plastic as I can. Yeah. The one thing I wasn't on board with was the reusable toilet paper. Yeah. I can't get on board there. Well, like I said to you, I was just telling you what some people are doing. Don't apologise to me when you say that.
Starting point is 00:32:51 I don't use it. I'm so sorry I can't get on board with what you're trying to push and your agenda with the reusable toilet paper. Excuse me. But there is one thing that I have seen on the internet that I think is probably my favourite thing that people are doing to fight environmental waste. Okay, well, we all need to do our bit,
Starting point is 00:33:11 so I'm excited to hear about this. You'll love this, and I think everyone will be keen for this. Over in Italy, they are now, instead of straws, using spaghetti. Oh, my God. This is a fantastic idea.
Starting point is 00:33:27 It's so good. How amazing is it? Where's the Italian music? Yeah. Where's the Italian music? Where's the ambiance? Come on, mate. What's the matter?
Starting point is 00:33:36 You're going to have to go back and say the bit again. Bars in Italy. No, we're not ready. It's not even a Monday. Where's the, I've got it now. Don't worry, I're not ready. It's not even a Monday. Where's the... I've got it now. Don't worry, I'll do it. Bars in Italy are now swapping out plastic straws for spaghetti.
Starting point is 00:33:54 There we go. See, it just brings up the mood. This is a real thing. There's a company who is already selling pasta straws. They're called Strudels. I love it. So they can last up to... Oh, like noodles.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Yeah. Straw noodles. They can last up to an hour in a drink. They're tasteless and they can be left in the compost heap. They're 100% vegan and biodegradable. Well, you could just eat them afterwards too if you want. Well, you could eat them if you wanted to. But it added...
Starting point is 00:34:26 So much better than a paper straw. That's the problem with paper straws, which I'm also on board with. They're still waste though. Yeah, they're still waste and they do go soggy. They don't last an hour. This is no waste. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Imagine this. I'm a big Bloody Mary fan. Yeah. Imagine a pasta straw in a Bloody Mary. It's just pasta and tomato, the greatest combination of all time. Brilliant. Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:47 I love it. I think it's my favourite. Could you drink your soup through a pasta straw? Of course you could. Drink a tomato soup through a pasta straw. Yummy the straw. I don't know. Bits probably wouldn't fit up the straw.
Starting point is 00:34:58 No, just get a bigger straw. I did have, I think I might have the best idea, that you could do to help the environment. What's that? I mean, this is good using pasta straws. It's great. But there's one other thing that you can do. Yep. Drink it out of the cup.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Drink straight from the glass. Yeah. People, you can do that. I saw they were charging like $35 for a pack of metal straws. I was like, just lift it to your mouth. Are we that lazy? It's not that much further. Surely we are not that lazy.
Starting point is 00:35:33 You're in the kitchen making your homemade pasta straws and you're like, this is worth it for the environment and so I don't have to pick up that goddamn cup. Think of the work that goes into it. Brie and Clint, the podcast. ZM. Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Not really. Picking a movie based on just the plot line? That she can do. Brie and Clint's What The Plot. Our movie guessing game where you take Brie on today to win tickets to Disney's Maleficent, Mistress of Evil, in cinemas October 18. Brayden, you're going to take Brie on.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Good afternoon. How you doing? Wait a minute. Is this Brayden who's a gun at this game? Oh, it could be. Why is Brayden who's a gun at this game? Oh, it could be. Why is Brayden back on the phone? Brayden, have you played before? I haven't played this game before, no. You haven't?
Starting point is 00:36:33 No. You swear on your mum's life. Swear on my mum's life. Okay, I believe you then. God, they're so heavy when you tell people to do that. Brayden's like, hey, I was just trying to have a bit of fun. Hey, it's heavy because then you know they're telling the truth. Okay, Brayden, you know the deal.
Starting point is 00:36:46 You buzz in with your name. It's best of three. Don't wait for me to finish before you have a go at this if you think you know what the movie is. Perfect. Movie number one. Forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian, Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of his city.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Arthur wears two masks. One. Brayden. Brayden. Joker. Joker is correct. What, the new one? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:19 The new, what, the new Joker film? Yeah. Oh, you're a joke, mate. It's out now. It's out now. No, good work, Brayden. No, that was a joke, mate. It's out now. It's out now. No, good work, Brayden. No, that was very well done from you. I'm not angry at you.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I'm just angry at Clint. You're just disappointed. Yeah, I'm just disappointed. All right, let's go. All right. All right, all right. Arthur, the lonely comedian in the crowd. Well, you know it now, don't you?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Yeah. It's been out for three days. Movie number two. This Hollywood drama is based on the events of a particular NASA lunar mission. Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Hales and Jack Brie. Space Cowboys? Space Cowboys is incorrect. Braden, you want to have a crack at that?
Starting point is 00:38:07 The Martian. The Martian's incorrect. Good guess though, Brayden. I appreciate that. I'll keep going. Thank you, thank you. Bill or Fred Hayes got that. Jack Swigert.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Find everything going according to plan after leaving Earth's orbit. However, when an oxygen tank explodes, the scheduled moon landing is called off. Bree. ET phone home. ET phone home's wrong. Brad, do you want to guess at this, mate? Free one. Apollo 11.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Apollo 11 is incorrect. However, when an oxygen tank explodes, the scheduled moon landing is called off. Subsequent tensions within the crew. Bree. Bree. The moon landing. Incorrect. Brad, do you want a free guess at this?
Starting point is 00:38:49 Interstellar. No. Good guess, Brad. I like that one. Moon landing called off. Subsequent tension in the crew. Bree. Bree.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Gravity. Wrong. Brad, do you want a free guess at this? Oh, I don't even know what's left. Say Armageddon. Armageddon is wrong. Armageddon is wrong. Armageddon is wrong. He said neither.
Starting point is 00:39:07 It was a good try. It was a good try. Look, I'm going to carry on, but I'll just tell you, one of you has basically got it right. You just kind of got the name of it a little bit wrong. What? Subsequent tensions in the crew, numerous technical problems. Three.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Apollo 12. Apollo 12 is wrong. Brayden, you want to? Bray! No. Apollo 13. Apollo 12 is wrong. Brie! No, Brie. Apollo 13. No!
Starting point is 00:39:27 No! That's the game. No! Oh, that's the game. That's the game. That's the game. That's the game. Hey, Brie, are you all right?
Starting point is 00:39:36 I'm not all right, no. ZDM's Brie and Clint, the podcast. A friend of mine calls me up last night and she said, hey, can I ask your advice on something? And I said, of course. And I knew it was going to be about her new relationship that she's just gotten into because, you know, most of the time, you know, you work out the niggles early
Starting point is 00:39:57 in the relationship. And plus you get a feeling in your waters when someone, you can tell from the tone of the voice. It's like when someone texts and says, hey, can we talk? I could tell in my fallopian tubes. Right, that's where you sense things. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, she said, you know, I've been seeing that new guy and I was like, yeah, I was like,
Starting point is 00:40:14 how long have you guys been dating for now? I think she said they've been dating for about seven months. Oh, yeah. Like significant. Fairly stable, you'd think. Yeah, fairly stable. Anyway, she said, you know, lately we've been having, you know, a bit of a fight or a disagreement over this one particular thing.
Starting point is 00:40:31 So apparently my friend is friends with a couple of her exes. Wait, your friend, the one asking you the question, is friends with some of her own exes? Yes. Okay, gotcha. So she's still friends with some of the people that she's dated in the past. Yeah. Because mainly, especially one of them is still friends with the group of friends she kind of hangs out with.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Is it one of those situations where they were friends before they were lovers? Yeah, that particular one they were. So the foundation is there. Yes. Yeah. Anyway, so there's that one and then she still talks every now and then to this other ex. Anyway, her new partner says to her, look,
Starting point is 00:41:10 I don't feel comfortable with you being friends with those people because you've dated them, you've had a history with them, they're your exes. I don't feel comfortable. It makes me feel uncomfortable in the relationship. Ugh. And I was like, ooh. Does that make them, so does that make them, in your opinion,
Starting point is 00:41:35 does that make them a jealous partner? No, I don't think so. Not necessarily. I think it depends on the situation. It makes them insecure, though, surely, at least. Well, and you know what? I think in life we're all a little bit insecure, aren't we? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:49 To a certain point. But I think obviously, which I wish I had have asked her, but I said, you know, has something triggered this? Because obviously seven months in, he would have known that you'd been friends with these people. Yeah. You know, did he read a text message? Did it, you know, was there anything?
Starting point is 00:42:06 What's caused it to flare up now? I'm not sure. I think it was because she'd been going to quite a few events that her ex was also going to. Is either of the exes, are they quite attractive? I know one of them and yes. Is it the sort of person that...
Starting point is 00:42:29 Her new boyfriend's very attractive as well. Is he more attractive? About the same. I'd say. It's a tough position to put someone in because for obvious reasons, right? Nothing bad has happened and if you're already friends with this person
Starting point is 00:42:46 who just happens to be your ex and you were friends with them all along, what do you do? Do you cut them off? I think, you know, if you've done something to dig your grave, then you've got to... Lie in it.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Lie in it. But if there's no really good reason and that's a really good friend of yours and it is just friendship, then, I mean, it's hard because, you know, obviously you're in a relationship with this person that potentially you want to spend forever with. Do you put their feelings and that relationship before the relationship? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Oh, if you make it that black and white, then of course – Well, technically – Do you choose – so this is how you're phrasing it, and it's correct. It's a little bit reductive, but it's correct. You're saying, do you put your partner's feelings ahead of your ex's? Exactly. Is that the question you want to ask? I guess so.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Yeah. Do you? In this situation, is that what you do? So do you side with your partner who has been open and honest with you and said, I'm not comfortable with you speaking with your ex? And being friends with them. And you say, you're my partner. I'm going to put your feelings.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I'm going to respect your wishes, and I will no longer talk to my friend who also happens to be my ex. Get the phones cranking, 0800 dial ZM. We want your thoughts. We want your feelings. Or you can text us on 9696. We'll be back with your take on this next. Bree and Clint, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:44:17 ZM. All right, the situation we're dealing with this afternoon. A friend of mine says to me last night, look, you know how I've been dating that guy. They've been dating for about seven months. Fairly new relationship. He comes out in the last couple of weeks and says, you know, I'm not super comfortable with you being friends with a couple of your exes.
Starting point is 00:44:36 One of her exes is in a friendship group, so he goes to a lot of the same things she's at. The new partner doesn't like it, feels uncomfortable. You know what I've just realised? What? If she follows his wishes and cuts off that friend, she has to leave that whole friend group because if he's still part of the group and they're doing like brunch and barbecues and stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Well, she just couldn't go to, yeah, I mean, it's a tough one. There's a lot of interesting text messages coming through because, I mean, we asked, do you put your new partner's feelings in front of your exes? But then someone on the text machine was like, it's actually not about that. It's about putting your new partner's feelings in front of your own. Oh, okay. This is getting –
Starting point is 00:45:20 You know what I mean? There are so many different ways to look at this. There's so many different views on the text machine. One of my favourite texts that came through is, this is so a Ross, Rachel and Emily from Friends situation. Now, if you know Friends, Ross and Rachel were together for a long time and then they broke up and then afterwards, Ross got together with this Emily girl.
Starting point is 00:45:41 When Emily found out the history, she was like, nah. Oh, no. He called her Rachel at the altar first. Yeah, that's right. So there's a little bit more to it. If your friend is calling their new partner by their ex's name, then, yeah, I reckon they've got grounds for something. And I mean, in that situation, yes, Ross did go back to Rachel.
Starting point is 00:46:01 But, you know. Let's see what people have to say on the phones. Kirstie's here. Hi, Kirstie. Hi, Kirstie. Hi. You've been in this situation before. Yeah, yeah. I've been like in the exact same situation. So I'm friends with two of my exes and I had my boyfriend at the time tell me that he was like super uncomfortable with me like hanging out with my one ex who is like part of my family, like really still, like we're best friends. And I just said to him, I was like, there's a reason why I'm with you and not with him.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Like, yeah, I still care for him and stuff, but like I'm not. And did that, was that enough? Yeah. Well, no, he just was like, he was a nutcase, so nothing would have helped him. You said yes, so it was actually a big fat no. It wasn't enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Okay, all right. Sunaina? Yes, hi. Hi. You've got an opinion on this whole thing. Hit us with it. Okay, so I've been in a situation before, and the thing is if you can't let that ex go, even as a friend,
Starting point is 00:47:05 you've got to really think deep down and wonder why is it so hard for you to cut them out when you've got a partner? It's like the Ross and Rachel situation. What is it really? Wait, Sunaina, which person were you in this situation? Were you the one who had as an ex? Yeah. Or were you the one asking the person?
Starting point is 00:47:22 You've been on both sides. Yeah, but it was mostly when they were asking me to cut an ex out. And at first I was real defensive, like, oh, they're my friend. And then later I thought about it and I'm like, oh, okay. I see. Yeah, like it depends on the situation. I think it's so case by case. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:38 But anyway, you did. I see what you're saying, though. So you did it and did it work out well? Was it beneficial for your relationship? Are you still with that person now? I mean, no. And I also told them that if I had to find out, I'd resent them. And did you end up resenting them?
Starting point is 00:47:53 I did. Well, for a little while and then I broke up with them. Yeah, so the resentment led to a breakup. That's how it goes. Okay. Leah, you've also been in this situation. God, it is so common. It definitely is I was in this situation
Starting point is 00:48:08 but what I did was took my current boyfriend to all the events that my ex was at to make him known that we were just friends to also make him feel a bit comfortable in the situation No, that's good Now if I was the jealous boyfriend type I would think you were just doing this
Starting point is 00:48:24 to be closer to your ex all the time. No. Why do we keep going to events where your ex is? I don't agree. You just want to see him more. No, no, no. It's not like that. Especially if he's part of the same friend group.
Starting point is 00:48:34 You can't exactly kick him out, so you need to make the situation work. That's where I would get weird if the person kept going to all the events where the ex was and I wasn't invited. If I was invited, I'd be like, okay, well, fair enough. But what about if the tables were turned? What about if he was friends with some exes? Yeah. And she was uncomfortable with it?
Starting point is 00:48:52 Same thing. I don't think the gender is the... No, but what if, like, because obviously I wonder, because obviously he, in this situation, he's not friends with any of his exes. No, no. Oh, you say he can't relate it to anything. Exactly. Right. We've got a unique say he can't relate it to anything. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Right. We've got a unique one here and someone who wants to remain anonymous because you're actually in this situation right now, aren't you, Anonymous? Your partner is still in communication with their ex. Yeah, so my partner has like, it's like over a thousand day streak with his ex
Starting point is 00:49:24 and they keep it going. Wait, you're talking about Snapchat? Wait, wait, wait. Your partner still talks to his ex because they have a Snapchat streak? Yeah. Shut the hell up. Okay.

Starting point is 00:56:11 Boys to Men, End of the Road. Such a good song. Such a good song. I think probably my favourite Boys to Men song. I like their Mariah Carey stuff too. Oh, yeah. We were trying to enjoy that song in the studio. However,
Starting point is 00:56:26 just outside our window something incredibly awkward is happening. So awkward. You know boot camps? You know how people do boot camps and it's just like
Starting point is 00:56:33 a personal trainer who shows up to a public space and puts out the kettle bells and the cones and stuff. I don't think this is like that's not
Starting point is 00:56:40 a public space. It's our workplace. I'm pretty sure it's organised by the company. Do you think? Yeah, so I think they've organised a trainer to organise a boot camp. And you can go if you want to, like, as an office perk.
Starting point is 00:56:53 And how many people have turned up? There's one person at this boot camp. So all the gear is out, the medicine balls are out, the kettlebells are out, the yoga mats are out, and there's just one person doing this boot camp. That's way worse than I've camp. That's my worst nightmare. It's literally right outside our studio. Like, the girl has to do her shuttle
Starting point is 00:57:09 runs past our window, and we don't know what to do. We're just, like, turning around and clapping her, like, cheering her on. You know the worst thing in the whole world is a personal training session. Well, that's what she's got. She signed up for a group fitness, and she's got a PT. Like, I hate it. I've never hated anything more.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Like, someone yelling at you to be like, you push yourself to the point where you think you're going to vomit. There's nowhere for her to hide. No. Like, she can't even take a rest because he'll see. Because she's the only one there. She didn't sign up for this. She just wants to go to Friday drinks, not this crap.
Starting point is 00:57:42 I'm in for her. Very sensual voice, I me, doesn't it? Honestly, sit down, get comfortable, get some popcorn because I'm about to tell you one hell of a good story. Okay. It's not my own story, so I'm not like big known in myself, but I read this on the internet and it's absolutely taking over the internet over in England.
Starting point is 00:58:11 This story is going bananas. So it's pretty much about, you know, Wayne Rooney? Soccer player. Yeah, so he's a soccer player. Manchester United. Man United, English Premier League. Anyway, big deal. Bit of a manta as well.
Starting point is 00:58:27 Yeah, and everyone knows who that is. He's huge over in England. Anyway, his wife, her name is Colleen Rooney. Oh, that's my mum's name. Yeah, Colleen. Anyway, she is in a battle with another soccer player's wife by the name of Rebecca Vardy, her name is.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Oh, Jamie Vardy's wife? I think so, yeah. That'll be it, eh? Yeah. If I know my football. Yeah, which you do. Yeah, Jamie Vardy's wife. Anyway, so Colleen Rooney and this chick here, Rebecca Vardy,
Starting point is 00:59:01 they've been friends for a long time because obviously they're both wives of football players and they go to a lot of long time because obviously they're both wives of football players and they go to a lot of the same events and they're really good friends. Yeah. Anyway, a horrible thing has been happening to Colleen Rooney for the last like year or two years where all of this private stuff about her private life has come out in the tabloids. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:23 And when it first started to happen, she was like, I don't really understand how they're getting these stories. Sure. Anyway, her Instagram and her Twitter and stuff is all set to private and she slowly started to realise a trend where she'd share stuff on her private accounts and then she would realise that these stories would then come out in the media weeks later. She's got a mole.
Starting point is 00:59:46 So she's got a mole, right, in amongst her followers. Or not her followers because it's private. Her friends. Her friends and family. Anyway, so this is where it gets very interesting. Yeah. So Colleen Rooney posts this to Twitter. And it's long but I'll read you what it says.
Starting point is 01:00:04 For a few years now, someone who I trusted to follow me on my personal Instagram account has been consistently informing the Sun newspaper of my private posts and stories. There has been so much information given to them about me, my friends and my family, all without my permission or knowledge. After a long time trying to figure out who it could be for various reasons i had a suspicion to try and prove this suspicion i came up with an idea the idea was that i would block everyone from viewing my instagram stories except one account oh my god wait it gets better those on my private account must have been wondering
Starting point is 01:00:46 why I hadn't posted stories for such a long time. But that was because everyone was blocked except for this one person. Over the past five months, I've posted a series of false stories to see if they made their way into the Sun newspaper. And you know what? They did. The story about gender selection in Mexico, the story about returning to TV,
Starting point is 01:01:12 and then the latest story about the basement flooding in my new house. It's been tough keeping it to myself and not making any comment at all, especially when the stories have been leaked. However, I had to do this. Now I know for certain which account this is and which individual it's come from. I've saved and screenshotted all the original stories, which clearly show just one person has viewed them. And that person is Rebecca Vardy. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:01:47 That is like... Oh my God. First of all, the detective work involved to figure out that it's her. Then to go through that process of elimination and go through that whole thing. And then to call her out like that. Boom. Boom. Boom. And then I love the reply from Netflix.
Starting point is 01:02:08 Oh, now we're going to have to make a documentary about this. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. A bit of news about good, good, good friend of the show, Lorde. And we'll never be royal, royal. Her new album's been announced. No, it hasn't. No, it hasn't. Nah, it hasn't. Don't say that.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Why would you say that stuff? There's a viral hashtag going around at the moment, which is hashtag free lord. I did hear Fletch Vaughan and Megan talking about this this morning. So last week, Soemon Brodgers, the leader of the National Party in New Zealand, announced that if he was prime minister, he would fine parents of students who left school before they were 18 $3,000.
Starting point is 01:02:53 What if they go to a trade? Doesn't matter, $3,000. Or if they want to work in a different job and they don't want to do it? Doesn't matter, $3,000. No! What if they are musical prodigy lord and they decide at 16 they're going to have one of the biggest singles of all time
Starting point is 01:03:09 instead of doing NCEA. She didn't finish school. Exactly right. And look at her go. Anyway, you know how people these days only read the headline of a story? Yeah. This has got picked up and then through Chinese whispers
Starting point is 01:03:22 it's been misrepresented and it's gone around the world. And now all of a sudden there are quite a large community of people, particularly on Twitter, who think the New Zealand government are going to send Lorde to prison because she didn't finish school. So hence where the hashtag Free Lorde comes from. Well, they don't understand. They've just heard, you know how these days,
Starting point is 01:03:39 a lot of people won't even look into a story. They'll just hear someone else say it and they'll go, that's what the story is. Lorde's going to prison. Let's try and get her out. For not finishing school. For not finishing school, yeah. That's ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:03:49 So someone has published a picture to Twitter of Lorde. She's in New York City and she's riding the subway. I don't think it's a new photo, but they believe that Lorde is on the subway because the New Zealand government suspended her license
Starting point is 01:04:01 for not finishing school. Oh my God, the internet makes up so much stuff, doesn't it? They've said, Lorde saved the music industry with melodrama. It's now our turn to save Lorde. Hashtag free Lorde. There's another tweet that's going out there. Imagine if they actually were putting her in jail.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Simon Bridges would never, ever come back from that. Imagine campaigning on that. And this person is the most triggered. They said, Imagine wanting to imprison an artist who made New Zealand so famous and well-known for having a talented 16-year-old girl. Lorde, who her concerts were being sold out in minutes
Starting point is 01:04:37 and Royals was the number one hit, changed pop music. We gotta save Lorde until we die. Hashtag free Lorde. You know, it's good publicity for Lorde too. She hasn't done any music in a while. I reckon just roll with it. Just pretend you are going to, just pretend you are up for it and get people talking.
Starting point is 01:04:54 I reckon it's probably a good option. What, just go to jail for a little bit? Oh my God, go to jail for a little bit. Then she could do a rap album. Imagine if she wrote her album from jail. Yeah, like Tupac. Oh, now that is a hit album. If that happens and then Lorde does the greatest rap album of all time,
Starting point is 01:05:09 you know what? I will vote for Simon Bridges. That's what it will take. And we'll never be royal. Bree and Clint, the podcast. ZM. We've got to talk about this guy who got caught out on Skype. It was a Skype interview for a job in IT.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Yeah. And essentially they reckon this happens quite often where people don't have the credentials or the experience for jobs, but they'll do a Skype interview and then they'll get someone to feed them all the information so it appears like they have the credentials to do the job. What do you mean feed them the information? Like someone standing off camera kind of thing?
Starting point is 01:05:48 So in this case, the guy is on the Skype call and you know how Skype sometimes maybe can lag a little bit? Yeah. Or maybe, you know, be slightly jolty? Yeah. But it didn't trick the interviewer when the guy was lip-syncing to some other guy in the background who actually knew all the answers who was speaking for the guy.
Starting point is 01:06:14 You take a listen to the audio when the guy calls him out and says, you're not actually talking. I can tell. I'm just appellating. Man, I think it's not you who is speaking i mean uh someone is speaking someone else is speaking here and you're just lip-syncing i i can also hear your voice the candidate who is sitting right in front of me uh you're uh i caught you i mean it's not the right way man it's not the i caught you and it's not the right way, man. It's not the right way. I caught you, and it's not the right way, man.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Like, I kind of give him props for trying. Any other job? Yeah. You're not going to get past an IT specialist. Like, if anyone is going to go, that's not video lag, that's lip syncing. It's the head of the IT department who you're looking to employ you. So apparently the way they do it is the guy in, say he's in the US, he'll go into work and pretend like he's working.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Yeah. But another guy back in India who knows how to do it all will log into his computer and do all the work. Oh, so he actually gets the job? But yeah, so the guy who's... Wait, this is really layered. Yeah, so the guy who's being interviewed is in America and he will go into work and he appears like he's doing the work.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Yeah. But the guy back in India. Oh, and so he takes the full check and then he pays the guy in India less money to actually do the job. Yes. Because you can do IT jobs remotely. Yes. Oh, I get it.
Starting point is 01:07:38 That's the perfect crime. Is it? Everybody gets paid. I mean, you're fleecing some poor Indian worker out of some money. But, I mean, look, people got to eat, right? People got to eat. There you go. We're Skyping this radio show in, actually. Yeah, exactly right.
Starting point is 01:07:51 We're actually not here. I'm just lip syncing. Yeah, me too. ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast. All this week, we want to know your awkward dating app stories because the results of the Two Degrees Good Chat relationship study are out. More than 11% of Kiwis would prefer to meet a partner through a dating app. And so if you have, and it maybe hasn't gone super well,
Starting point is 01:08:10 tell us, text us to 9696 with yours. We've been getting a lot of stories texted in, a lot of juicy stories, but this one in particular stood out, apparently. Hi, Olivia. Hi. Olivia, tell us, what went down on a dating app that involved you oh my god i can't believe i'm doing this right now but i'm doing this for you so literally two years ago i decided to go on a dinner date and the day of the day i had a bit
Starting point is 01:08:37 of a sore stomach but didn't think anything of it so i'm at dinner with my date and i get the sneeze um i'm trying to like not sneeze but I couldn't hold it in. I literally, like, sneezed, and it's so aggressive that the rice I was eating spat out across to my date. Because I had that sore stomach as well. At the same time I sneezed, I also shuddered. Yeah, and when I realized what was happening, I was like, oh, my God, is this for real?
Starting point is 01:09:05 I apologized for my date, and I literally rushed to the bathroom. I'm in the bathroom for, like, 10 to 15 minutes trying to, like, figure out what I'm going to do. What were you wearing, Olivia? I was wearing, like, a little black dress. Oh, it's black. You're in the clear. Olivia! It's black.
Starting point is 01:09:19 It's all good. It's a skirt. It's so embarrassing. What sort of undies did you have on? This is the deep question. Were you wearing a G-string? Yes! You were? Don't answer it! No, she did!
Starting point is 01:09:29 It's like a shart through a strainer. Oh! Yeah, so I'm like in the bathroom, I'm freaking out, what do I do? And I couldn't figure out what to do, so I literally bolted into my car and took off home. I feel so bad because I had to leave my home. Well, you left them there. Of course you left them there!
Starting point is 01:09:37 I left them there! I left them there! I left them there! I left them there! I left them there! I left them there! I left them there! I left them there! I left them there! I left couldn't figure out what to do so I literally bolted into my car and took off home.
Starting point is 01:09:46 I feel so bad because I had to leave Well, you left him there. Of course you left him there. Who cares about him? You've just sharted in your pants. Stinky Brie.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Exactly. Olivia. I mean, I'm not so worried about that. Who cares about his feelings at that point? Oh, okay. So what happened to him?
Starting point is 01:10:02 Did you ever speak to him again? No. No, fair call. Yeah, I ghosted him and I even deleted my Tinder app and I haven't actually gone on the app ever since. I need to know, when you sneezed, you said that there was quite an aggressive sneeze.
Starting point is 01:10:15 Where did the rice go? So the rice ended up a little bit on his shirt and literally one little pile ended up on his cheek and I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. This is too much. And it's, but it's exactly what we were looking for. It's very relatable to me,
Starting point is 01:10:32 weirdly, actually, Olivia. Bri had to throw out all her G-strings. Yeah, I'm like, never again. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:10:40 You, you, you, this has all been worthwhile because 62 Degrees, you've won a Samsung S9. Oh, thank you Hey and Ben If you're listening
