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?
Oh, he also weighs himself before and after he takes a dump.
I did that the other day.
Satisfying?

Hamilton?
Well, I don't know because you haven't given me any of the details about Logan.
A few stabbings happen in Logan.
Oh, you leave Hamilton alone. Well, not Hamilton,
but what's like a scary part of Auckland?
A few stabbings does not a Hamilton make.
Any third world country, pretty much.
Right, right, right.
So it's a dodgy part of Brizzy.
Yeah.
It's one of the dodgier places.
Was that where you grew up so tough?
Would you say I'm tough?
Yeah, you're tough and like...

I'm tough.
What are you...
Are you...
Is it going to be like a Michelle and Romy situation
when they went back to their reunion
and they like try and impress everyone?
No, I'm just going to be quiet
and try and sneak out after like an hour.
Are you going to make up a fake persona?
Like, are you going to say like you're a rocket scientist now?

I didn't go, but I saw it on Facebook.
Like, it's 10 years since high school, and the kids happen to be 11,
so there's an issue there.
Oh, my God.

Kia ora everybody and welcome to the show.
Brie and Clint, don't.
Georgia from the day show just looked over and goes, what are they doing in there?
Our radio show.
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.
Producer Ellie, Producer Ben, Clint,

Nice.
Nice.

Yes.
Oh, 10th of the 10th.
Yep.
Oh, yeah.
Use that pick-up line tonight.
You're welcome. All right. Be prepared for a confused, awkwardth of the 10th. Yep. Oh, yeah. Use that pick-up line tonight. You're welcome.
All right.
Be prepared for a confused, awkward silence in the middle where they're like, thanks.
Yeah, but then I think people will appreciate it.
And then it's quite nice, yeah.
Got to use it before midnight, though.
Yeah, got to use it.
It's like a pumpkin.
Otherwise, they'll turn into a pumpkin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You made your wines, Catherine.
Catherine, you have started Thirsty
Thursday with a $400
New World gift card.
Congratulations.
Brilliant.
Thank you.
No problems.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Taste.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
We're married.
Did you have any guests there?
Two witnesses.
That's it?
Just two people?
Yeah.
I love that.
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
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
perfect wedding photos.
What about the cake?
Oh, no cake.
No cake.
Oh, no cake.
Just had a tiramisu
after dinner.
No cake.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Hey, Brie, are you all right?
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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,
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.
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?
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 –
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
Have you asked them to cut it out?
No, I haven't.
I haven't said that because... She respects the streak. You've got to respect the streak. Well, I haven't, well, I haven't said that because,
she respects the streak.
You gotta respect the streak.
Well,
yeah,
it's like,
it's massive,
but like,
at the start,
I was real like,
nah,
this is like,
this is weird.
Yeah.
But then like,
I just let it continue
because like,
at the end of the day,
if it's an ex
and if like,
if he wants to be with you,
then yeah,
go ahead,
but I know that I'm, I know I'm sending my ex nudes, but our streak is about At the end of the day, it's an ex, and if he wants to be with her, then go ahead. Babe, babe, babe.
I know I'm sending my ex nudes, but our streak is about to hit 1,200.
We've got to keep this thing going.
I just love Anonymous.
She goes, well, yeah, it's massive.

I belong to you.
Oh, that is so nice.
That is the winner of Birthday Bangers today.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
weirdly,
actually,
Olivia.
Bri had to throw out all her G-strings.
Yeah,
I'm like,
never again.
Exactly.
You,
you,
you,
this has all been worthwhile because 62 Degrees,
you've won a Samsung S9.
Oh, thank you
