Kia ora, everybody.
Welcome along to another week of the Brie and Clint Show.
Guys, this could be our last week on the air because we could win the $38 million.
Oh, right.
If you win the $38 million, you're not coming in to do the show anymore.
Hell no.
I'm out of here.
Really? You'd quit that
easily?
What do you mean that easily? It's 38 million
dollars. You know I'd quit as well. I'm just checking
that you were in it with me.
If you win the 38 million dollars
in the lotto, as your friend
and confidant, and arguably
the person that you spend more time
with than anybody else,
how much do I get? How much would you give me?
Million?
I'd give you a million.
Okay.
I was actually going to say a million.
Do you want to shake on it?
Yeah, I'll shake on that.
Wait, are you going to get a ticket?
Yeah, of course.
It's the biggest.
Because I don't want to buy a ticket.
It's the biggest lottery in New Zealand history.
I don't want to buy a ticket and you don't buy a ticket.
So then I've got a chance.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the bet you're making.
Million?
Million.
You ready?
Oh, don't. Spit on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's the bet you're making. Million? Million. You ready? Oh, don't.
Spit on it.
There you go.
Deal.
Ew, gross.
All right, pleasure doing business with you.
Anybody else wants to make that deal?
I have enough saliva for about five more handshakes,
so just swing by the ZM Studios.
You don't want to give up too much of the money.
Today on the show, speaking of negotiating, it returns.
Probably my favourite way
of giving away concert tickets, it's our
swap shop and it's with Friday Jams Live
tickets. That's right. Do you have something
lying around that you're willing to
swap us for tickets to Friday
Jams Live? Last year people swapped us
some amazing stuff including TVs,
kayaks, we got a car.
Brand new surfboard. Brand new surfboard.
We got a 2000 Mitsubishiboard brand new surfboard we got a I think it was a
2000 Mitsubishi
Diamante
oh what an
absolute beauty
what are we going to use
company money
and company tickets
to secure for ourselves
this year
the swap shop
where you can get yourself
free Friday Jams
live tickets
is here
about 5.30
after Birthday Banger
up next though
I believe
that I watched the best movie this weekend
that no one else out there listening would be able to top
how good this movie was that I watched.
The best movie that you, okay.
Well, I'm up for this.
I'm always looking for a recommendation.
The ultimate movie.
It's new, but I reckon no one else watched a better film than me this weekend.
Put your money where your mouth is after Ed Sheeran, ZM.
I'm at a party, I don't wanna be a
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM. I watched a film this
weekend, Clint, that I believe
was that good,
so entrancing
that I believe no one
else listening right now watched a better
film than what I did this weekend. Okay,
that's a big call to say you watched the best
movie, but I mean, I wanna hear it. I wanna hear it. Okay, that's a big call to say you watched the best movie. But I mean, I want to hear it.
I want to hear it.
I want to hear what it is.
This weekend, I sat down and relaxed to a film called El Camino.
Which obviously is the film that carries on from the end of the Breaking Bad series,
which if you haven't seen it, what have you been doing?
Honestly, it ended six years ago.
It's one of the greatest television shows of all time.
I think I'd have to go as far as saying it's my favourite TV show of all time.
More than Friends?
Different.
That's a sitcom.
It's good.
It's very good.
If you haven't seen it, it's about a high school teacher that gets cancer.
His wife gets pregnant, so he decides he needs money fast,
so he starts to cook methamphetamine with one of his ex-classmates
called Jesse Pinkman.
Anyway, at the end of the show, I'm not going to give it away,
this film, El Camino, picks up from exactly where the show ended.
And it is epic.
So there's a huge risk when you do something like this that you're going to ruin the legacy
of the original.
Exactly, yeah.
It's not going to be as good and it just looks like you're cashing in and you're going back
to get more from what you already left as a great TV show.
Does it do that?
Yes.
It gives you everything I think you need and more.
I think it's very Breaking Bad-esque.
Like it's very, it's kind of slow in parts and then really fast in others.
How long is it?
Oh, it's a couple of hours.
Yeah, two hours.
Two hours.
Okay.
Yeah.
I was sitting there as I was watching it going,
I hope they're doing one of the best things ever in TV
and they trick us at the end and they go, actually, it's not a movie.
It's the beginning of a new show?
Yes.
And did they do – well, no spoilers, right?
No spoilers.
No spoilers, but –
I know how badly you want to give out spoilers,
but I haven't seen it yet.
You need to go watch it.
And I want to see it.
And, I mean, I haven't watched that show for a number of years
because obviously it finished six years
ago but they do a really good recap at the
start of the film.
I'm glad to hear that it's good. However
you're saying that you saw the
best movie out of anybody
listening to this show in the weekend.
I want to know, do
you think you can top it? Because straight
away I think I can.
Over the weekend I saw a film that you may not have seen.
Okay.
Hello, I've seen everything.
You're the person that's seen nothing.
Have you seen the film Dirty Dancing?
Saw it for the first time last night.
It's outstanding.
Wow, what a great movie.
It's so good.
Patrick Swayze.
As if you think that I haven't seen that.
I'm a nearly 30-year-old female.
Yeah, well, I've just got around to it.
And to be honest, no spoilers, please.
I haven't seen the end of it yet.
I had to go to bed.
You know my favourite thing, Producer Ben,
about Clint watching Dirty Dancing this weekend
is that you and I have been trying to get him
to watch Top Gun for the last year.
You gave it to him, but he decides to watch Dirty Dancing instead.
I know.
What?
I can't watch Top Gun.
I feel like it's been overhyped.
It's just disappointing because I think you would personally love Top Gun.
Yeah, well, I personally love Dirty Dancing.
Oh, okay.
Now you've got me hooked.
Maybe I will watch it.
Anyway, if the criteria is movies we saw this weekend,
I didn't see El Camino, but I think Dirty Dancing might be better.
I've seen both.
They're on par, I'd say.
Okay, all right.
It's that good.
But I want to know from people, can you top it? 0800 dial ZM, or you can text us on 9696.
Do you think you saw the ultimate, the best film this weekend?
0800 dial ZM.
Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
The Breaking Bad film El Camino came out.
It dropped on Friday night and it is everything and more.
It's on Netflix, right?
It's on Netflix, that's correct, which Breaking Bad isn't.
Is this season not on there?
No.
It might be on there overseas.
New Zealand's a bit weird.
It's on in America.
Yeah, that makes sense.
But New Zealand Netflix, you don't get it.
But this film, if you're a Breaking Bad fan, I loved it.
I thought it was great.
There's a little bit here from the trailer.
Do you want this?
Yeah.
I have no idea where he is.
Don't know where he's headed either.
North, south, west, east, Mexico, the moon.
No way I'm helping you people put Jesse Pinkman back inside a cage.
There's a rest of the day follow-up ruins the original,
but you reckon this doesn't?
I don't think it does.
You think it adds to it?
I think it adds to it.
Yeah.
And it was the perfect amount to give.
And I believe I watched the best film out of anyone listening right now this weekend.
I've already tabled Dirty Dancing, which if you haven't seen it,
it's a great movie, by the way.
Someone on the text machine said Dirty Dancing,
one of their all-time favourites,
but if Clint went to bed before finishing Dirty Dancing,
clearly he can't rate it that highly.
No, I had to go to, when we watched it on regular TV, it had ads.
It was really late.
But if you were truly into it...
I've got it mice-guide for when I get home.
That's tonight. It's like a two-part
mini-series. Can I say there's some
really good suggestions on the text
machine? Of better movies that people have
seen this weekend? I'm not saying better, because
I haven't seen some of them, but there's some good
ones. That's for sure. Someone said
Seven Years in Tibet, Brad Pitt. Awesome film. I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's great. I haven't seen some of them, but there's some good ones. That's for sure. Someone said Seven Years in Tibet, Brad Pitt, awesome film.
I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's great.
I haven't seen it either.
Could tell you what it's about, though.
Oh, I hate that comment from you.
Seven Years in Tibet.
Hustlers, which is that new movie that's out with J-Lo.
Is that out?
Yeah, apparently.
The one with Cardi B in it where there's strippers that rob people.
Yeah, apparently it's based on a true story.
I really want to see that.
Someone else said
they saw The Prestige.
It's basically
Batman versus Wolverine
with magic.
Okay.
What a good description.
That is epic.
And then someone else
said they watched
Bohemian Rhapsody
which is a great film
and then someone said
they saw the new
Joker film.
Okay,
Ben,
producer Ben loves that.
He's raving about that but let's find out some people here who want to challenge you. Okay, Ben, producer Ben loves that. He's raving about that.
But let's find out some people here who want to challenge you.
Tyler, have you seen the best movie going around this weekend?
Yeah, I watched Thor Ragnarok last night.
Oh, how good's Thor Ragnarok?
Is that the first time you've seen it?
Yeah, no, it was my first time.
Never seen it.
I could tell you what it was about.
Can you?
Go on then.
Oh, it's about this god that's like from this other world
that comes in and he like meets up with the Hulk.
Damn, she can tell us what it's about.
Okay, Tyler, that's going up there.
Daniel, hi.
Yep.
Daniel, tell us what the film is.
Have either of you seen The Last of the Mohicans?
No.
What?
The Last of the Mohicans, Daniel Day-Lewis, 1992.
No.
Spectacular movie.
What's it about?
Give us the gist.
It's about a white person who gets welcomed to an Indian tribe
and he has to try and rescue these white women from another Indian tribe.
It's all based about the Mohican Indians.
It is spectacular.
You have to see it, at least on par with Dirty Dancing.
Daniel, looking at it through a 2019 lens,
like is it still culturally appropriate?
It's still culturally appropriate
and not only that,
the music in it,
because it's actually performed by an orchestra,
actually holds the movie in itself.
You have to see it.
I'm a huge Breaking Bad fan.
Bryan Cranston,
he's awesome at what he does.
Did you see El Camino, though?
I haven't seen El Camino yet.
I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I have seen Breaking Bad
like three or four times through,
but you have to see
The Last of the Mohicans.
I will get El Camino a go.
So you can't say
it was better than El Camino.
No, this is the deal.
Daniel, tonight,
you need to watch El Camino.
And Bree, tonight,
you need to watch
The Last of the Mohicans.
You really need to.
And tomorrow,
are you going to do this for us, Daniel?
Are you going to enter into this pack?
Yeah, absolutely.
I will watch El Camino tonight.
I will look forward to it.
Also, he gets to watch Breaking Bad, El Camino,
brand new film,
and I have to watch some old crappy film.
He's just given the strongest recommendation
for any film I've ever heard.
I've seen the picture of it.
Yeah, it looks crap.
Well, you can choose between Daniel's option
and Gerry's one.
Gerry, what's the movie that you saw?
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good, Gerry.
Yeah, believe it or not, I went to see Ugly Dolls on Saturday
with my daughter.
My 10-year-old daughter has been pushing me for, you know,
a couple of weeks now to go and see it.
And I'm normally a sort of sci-fi, horror-type movie.
But I was so engrossed by this movie.
It was great.
It's a cartoon film.
Ugly Dolls, the animated kids movie.
Yeah, it was great.
Okay, well, Brie, it's up to you.
Are you going to watch Ugly Dolls or Last of the Mohicans?
Ugly Dolls.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Time for the latest.
From iHeartRadio.
This is...
The latest.
Live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's on with us live from Los Angeles.
Speaking of Los Angeles, the Kings, which is the ice hockey team.
That's the ice hockey team in LA, isn't it, Dean?
Yes.
They are starting beef, I'd say, with Taylor Swift.
Okay, yeah, they are.
I know.
Who would have ever thought that this would be two Hollywood people having a beef?
You know, it's normally Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.
Here's the deal, right?
So at the Staples Center, which is downtown LA, which is the big center where all the
big shows are and all the big sporting events, well, Taylor Swift has a massive permanent
banner inside the Staples Center because she sold it out 16 times.
So they gave her a permanent banner, right?
Anyway, the LA Kings believe that she's bad luck.
So because every time since 2015, since the banner went up,
every time they have home games, they never win.
And apparently, according to them, the fans don't want to see her.
So every time they have a game now, they cover physically.
They physically cover up the banner of Taylor Swift.
It's a low blow.
We haven't heard from Taylor yet on what she thinks of this.
She probably doesn't care.
She just made $180 million last year.
So she probably just doesn't care.
But I think it's a low blow and it's kind of hilarious.
Obviously not bad luck if she's making $180 million.
Yeah, way to blame your team's suckiness on Taylor Swift as well.
I reckon she should endorse it and she should get them to cover up the banner
and then if they still lose,
go, well, I guess it's you
that sucks all along
and not me.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Unless they cover her up
and they go on
to win the Stanley Cup.
Oh, God,
that would really mix things up,
wouldn't it?
Wouldn't it?
Speaking of LA also, Dean,
is there a new season
or a new spin-off
of Fresh Prince
coming our way?
Yes, it is happening. If you are a fan of the show, I've got good news. It's new spin-off of Fresh Prince coming our way? Yes, it is happening.
If you are a fan of the show, I've got good news.
It's a spin-off.
It's being produced by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's production company,
actually.
Can you believe, you know,
he still gets a check every single month from that show.
Tens of years ago, I don't even know how long ago it was,
he still gets a big fat check for being the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
And I only found out the other day,
it's Jennifer Lopez's manager,
Benny Medina.
He is the guy
that the show was actually based off
all those years ago.
He was in a foster care
and he got adopted
by his family in Bel-Air.
And that is literally,
he was the inspiration for the show.
J-Lo's manager.
He's now worth 100 million bucks
or whatever.
So it's coming back.
Some type of spin-off. That's all
we know. Are they going to put Willow Smith
or Jaden Smith in it? That's what I'm
worried about. Probably. Are they going to make
Jaden Smith? Is he going to be the
new Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Why are you worried about that?
You don't like those
kids? No, I do. I do.
Just what do you want from it? What do you
want from a spin-off from the Fresh Prince?
What do you want to come out of it?
Do you want it to be a reboot where it's like the same story
but with a new person?
Or do you want it to be a continuation like Fuller House?
No.
What do you want out of it?
No, I want, I think that show, I want the same story
but in a modern context.
I want it to pick up.
I want it to pick up today, but I want it to follow Carlton.
I want the whole show to pick up. Oh. I want it to pick up today, but I want it to follow Carlton. Oh, God.
I want the whole show to be about Carlton.
I want him to have gone on to become a famous Hollywood dancer
who only dances to Tom Jones.
And if we can do that, Will Smith, entire Smith family,
then I think everybody's going to be happy.
Cool?
Well, I'm interested to watch whatever it is.
That's the latest with Dean McCarthy out of Los Angeles,
brought to you by Amplify Kombucha.
Taste Amplified.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Over the weekend, obviously you'll know this
because I know how much everybody participated
in the local body elections and had their vote heard.
We got some new mayors.
You voted, didn't you, Producer Ben?
I didn't vote, no.
No, you didn't vote?
No, I didn't vote, no.
Oh, weird.
I would have thought postal voting for a young millennial like you in 2019
was the most easy way to participate in democracy.
Sorry, mate.
Okay, you might not know this.
Some places got new mayors.
Dunedin is one of them.
They have a mayor now whose name is Andrew Hawkins,
and he's young.
He's about 35.
And before he was mayor, he used to hitchhike to work.
Oh, cool.
So he doesn't drive,
and he believes the best way to stay in touch with the people in his electorate is to hitchhike to work. Oh, cool. So he doesn't drive and he believes the best way to stay in touch
with the people
in his electorate
is to hitchhike.
And he said that
now that he's mayor,
that's not going to change.
He's still going to hitchhike
around Dunedin.
I don't know if he's going to do it
with the mayoral chains on.
Yeah, right.
I don't know if it's a great way
for a mayor to commute,
but no,
it's what he likes to do.
Great way to meet new people.
That's what he's going to do.
For a hitchhiking experiment,
we're going to cross live now to the streets.
And we go live to our human hitchhiking guinea pig, Bree Thomas Elk.
Bree, come in.
Yes, hello.
It's very wet down here on the streets.
First time hitchhiking. It's very nerve-wracking.
I understand that, but because it's your first time hitchhiking,
I thought you're the best person for this experiment, you know?
You won't have any special skills that are going to give you an advantage.
We just want to see if, like Dunedin,
Aucklanders are willing to pick up an inner-city hitchhiker.
So let everybody know, first of all, what's your location?
Where are you positioned?
I'm on Victoria Street West, just beside Victoria Park.
I am wearing a high-vis orange vest.
I'm also, you know, protection first. I'm wearing a big bike helmet.
Now, that was my idea.
That was safety.
I've sent you out with a helmet on.
Yeah, safety first.
Because hitchhiking can be dangerous,
so we thought let's give you some protective outerwear.
Holding a pink umbrella with a sign that says ZM?
Mm-hmm.
Question mark?
Mm-hmm.
Our challenges...
So far, no bikes.
No bikes.
That's okay.
That's okay.
You've only been there for about a minute and a half so far.
Our challenge is,
can we get you back to the
ZM Studios within
a couple of songs by the next time we're on air
in a hitchhiking challenge?
What you have that other hitchhikers don't
have is the radio. Would you like to use
the radio to encourage people to pick you
up, Bree, our hitchhiking human
experiment?
There's a bus coming past, I hope. No, no, I don't want to. No, not the experiment. Oh, there's a bus coming past.
I hope.
No, no, I don't want this.
No, not the bus.
No, not you.
Cars, yes, cars.
Oh, Range Rover.
Oh, they're slowing down.
No, it's a red light.
I need to use the radio right now.
You can see me on Victoria Street.
I'm wearing a high-vis vest.
I'm wearing a helmet.vis vest. I'm wearing a
helmet. I look stupid. And I've got... No way! We've got one!
Oh, my God. We've got one!
Go and talk to them.
What's your name? Are you listening to ZM right now?
Yes.
He's not. He's just willing to offer us a lift.
All right.
Oh, Producer Ellie's with me.
You've only got one seat.
Oh, we're going to have to keep looking.
We appreciate your time, sir.
Thank you.
We're about to set us down.
Sorry, everybody.
My bad.
You gave me umbrella.
I've got the helmet.
Oh, Producer Ellie has stuffed it up, Clint.
We had someone. We forgot to mention that you've got a passenger. Producer Ellie has stuffed it up, Clint. We had someone.
We forgot to mention that you've got a passenger.
Yeah, so that is going to make it harder.
But okay, one more time, your location is?
Victoria Street West on next to Victoria Park.
Ellie's holding a pink umbrella.
I'm in a high-vis vest and a helmet looking like an idiot.
Can we get Brie back to the ZM Studios within two songs?
We'll find out.
Brie and Clint, the podcast ZM.
We're in the middle of a hitchhiking experiment at the moment.
The mayor of Dunedin has said that he hitchhikes to work.
It's a great way to meet the people in his local electorate.
So we've sent Brie out to hitchhike.
Brie, after five minutes, how much luck have you had so far?
None. None.
None.
There's that one guy who pulled up, but he didn't have enough room for you.
Yeah, so a guy pulled over.
I'm a courier driver.
Lovely.
But I've got producer Ellie down here with me.
And, you know, the first rule of hitchhiking, never leave a man behind, Clint.
No, the first rule of hitchhiking is don't take a bloody passenger.
It makes it too hard.
Couldn't Ellie have jumped in the back of the courier van with all the parcels?
No, safety first.
It's an HR issue.
True, it is safety first.
Oh, no, they're just pulling into the other lane.
False alarm.
That's so mean.
Okay, well, if you are near Victoria Park
and you want to pick Bree up and return her to ZM,
she'd appreciate that.
If you're not near Victoria Park
and you just want to see our hitchhiker,
she's currently live on our Bree and Clint Instagram,
and you can see she's being very safe.
She has high vis and a helmet on, don't you, Bree?
I do.
I'm taking all the safety precautions.
Oh, have we got one?
Have we got one?
Wait, is that an Uber or is that someone who wants to take us?
Are you going to hide his vest as well?
Hold on.
Uh-oh.
Hello, sir.
Hi.
Are you at...
Oh.
What's that?
And this guy pulls over.
Yeah.
And he goes, sorry, I'm just changing.
This is another guy driving the bus.
Okay, that's a bus driver.
Okay.
We're going to give it one more song.
And if it doesn't work, we're evacuating you, okay?
Yeah, I need a sitting wet down here.
Yeah, all right.
We'll see how we go.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
The mayor of Dunedin can hitchhike to work
because that's how it works in Dunedin.
What do people in Auckland like?
We've sent our human guinea pig, Bree,
out to the streets in full safety gear, high-vis, helmet. She's got a sign that says, take me
to ZM. To be fair, Bree, you're, would you say, 150 metres from the ZM studios?
Yeah, look, I'm not far. It's not going to be a lot of work if you do pick Ellie and
I up at Tick Tigers. We're just up the road. I've just had a lady wind down her window.
She was on the opposite side of the road.
She said, so sorry.
I would, but I'm going the opposite way.
So that was lovely of her.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
No, he's using the public toilet.
Oh, right.
God damn it.
That's the other bit we forgot to mention.
You are right outside the public toilet.
You've been confused for a parking warden already as well?
Yeah, they asked me.
People have asked if they can park here.
I do feel powerful in a high-vis vest.
I'm not going to lie.
I think we quit.
I think we give up.
Yeah, I think Ellie and I are just going to get on the bus.
Do we call this social experiment a fail?
It's an absolute fail.
No one in Auckland picks up hitchhikers.
If Phil Goff, the mayor of
Auckland, is listening,
then don't try and hitchhike to work.
It's not going to work.
We're just going to speak to Samantha briefly. Hi, Samantha.
Yeah, hi. Hey, what's up?
Yeah, I'm trying
to get to your hitchhiker, but traffic is a
nightmare, but I'm on my way.
Oh, Bree, Samantha's been trying to pick you up.
She just can't get to you in time.
Samantha's trying to get to us early.
Yeah, I'm trying to get to you in traffic.
Where is she?
I'm at the bottom of town,
coming up to the bottom of Queen Street,
and traffic is just red lights back to back.
I'm just on Google Maps just keying in your location,
and I'm just keying in Bree's location.
It says with Auckland traffic in current conditions,
it'll take you an hour and a half to get to Bree.
So we might just say thanks, but no thanks,
and Bree can get a line back, yeah?
Yeah, all good.
All right.
Come on back, Bree. You're welcome. We're yeah? Yeah, all good. All right. Come on back, Brie.
You're welcome.
We're not murderers, I promise.
Brie's back from her big hitchhiking mission.
She's a bit wet out there, is it?
What do you think?
You look like crap.
I'm a drowned rat.
You look like, you know those scenes on Celebrity Treasure Island
when it was like monsoon weather?
You look like that.
And it could have been a whole lot worse if we had to walk back,
which we didn't because we got a hitchhiker.
We picked up.
We got picked up by Shaquille.
Welcome to the studio, Kiwi legend Shaquille,
aka the man who picked Brie up off the side of the road.
Hello. What a Kiwi legend Shaquille, aka the man who picked Bree up off the side of the roads. Hello.
What a Kiwi legend.
What on earth motivates a man to pick up a half-soaked Australian
in a high-vis and a scooter helmet
on the side of the road in Auckland?
Why do you want to pick her up?
Running and wet outside.
You can't leave a lovely lad like that outside.
Oh, he felt bad.
It's always the way to it.
It was just as we gave up.
Usually the way I pick up. We go, okay, cancel it, call it off. It's always the way to it. It was just as we gave up. Usually the way I pick up.
We go, okay, cancel it, call it off.
And right at that moment, in fact, we've got it here.
Right at that moment, that's when Shaquille came through.
Oh, mate.
Oh, we've got one.
Oh, mate, what's your name?
Shaquille.
Shaquille has picked us up.
It's literally just up here.
Did you hear it on the radio?
Yeah, I know.
Can you hear us? Shaquille has picked us up. We are literally just up here. Did you hear it on the radio? Can you hear us? Shaquille
has picked us up. We are on route
back to the studio. Alright, come on up.
Is that the first ever hitchhiker you've
picked up before? No, I have picked
up a couple of people before.
Any weird stories
that you've gotten out of it, Shaquille?
Or is this the weirdest? No, this is
definitely the weirdest.
Okay, well there you go.
There you go.
Maybe it is a viable form of transport.
I mean, there's lots of safety implications and risks and things like that.
It's definitely not a mode of transport that we endorse,
but hey, it was a bit of fun for the radio, eh?
Do Aucklanders pick up hitchhikers?
And Shaquille, are you from Auckland?
No, I'm not from Auckland.
Damn it!
I knew it!
I knew it!
Where are you from?
Christchurch.
Oh, God, gotta love the people from Christchurch.
It's a South Island thing.
It is.
They're just nicer down there, aren't they?
Appreciate your help, Shaquille.
You're welcome.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
This Wednesday, Lotto has jackpotted to $38 million.
If it goes, it will be the second highest ever lotto amount ever won in New Zealand.
That is crazy.
It's an insane amount of money.
It's a life-changing amount of money.
I still maintain it's a life-ruining amount of money.
But I'm ready to have my life ruined.
You know?
Depends.
Ruin me.
Depends who you are.
Don't say that on the radio.
Don't say that.
It totally depends. It was bad enough when the Veronicas did it. It totallyends who you are. Don't say that on the radio. Don't say that. It was bad enough when the
Veronica's did it. It totally
depends who you are.
You're right about that. I went
to buy my lotto ticket on
Saturday when it was like 35 million
or something and I was down at the
supermarket. The queue was out
the door. Like there would have been probably
70 people deep this queue.
And I was like, get that app. Jesus.
Why are you waiting in line? It's 2019.
Because it's all people who literally
buy a ticket once in a
blue moon. Right. I see
what you mean. Because it's the biggest one ever.
They don't normally play so they don't know about the app.
So they don't want to get the app. They don't want to download
it because they probably won't buy one for
another three years. Well, here's a hot tip from
a man who is banking on winning a lotto one day and plays every week. Get the app. It's way easier.
Plus, you'll never lose your ticket. Don't you have that nightmare that if you buy a lotto ticket
and it's the winning one and then you'll lose the ticket or something like that? Can't lose it if
it's on the app. Haven't you seen the ad? Haven't you seen it? She gets into an accident and they
put it in her cast under her broken arms. So $38 million. I've got some information here on what the luckiest Powerball number is.
And by that, I mean the number at the end.
So to win this, it's nigh on impossible.
And you've got to realise that you're probably not going to.
But that's not something I choose to believe.
You have to get, first of all, all, I think it's seven lotto numbers in a row.
You have to get all of them.
And then at the end, there's an extra number.
And it's only if you get that extra Powerball number at the end
do you get the $38 million.
So you told me that if you get all of the numbers
except for that Powerball, you win like a million.
Yeah, it's a million.
Or you'll split a million with everybody else who got those numbers.
Who got those numbers.
But if you get the Powerball, that's when you win all $38 million.
So do you want to know what it is?
Do you want to know the luckiest Powerball number?
No, there's no 13.
It only goes one up to nine?
One to nine.
Is that it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
One to nine.
Is that always in?
In Powerball.
In Lotto?
Yeah, because then, oh, no.
No.
No.
In the Lotto machine, it goes up to 40, doesn't it?
Yeah, I was going to say.
It goes up to 40. I'm pretty sure. It doesn't matter because it's not 13. In the lotto machine it goes up to 40, doesn't it? Yeah, I was going to say, it goes up to 40.
I'm pretty sure, it doesn't matter because it's not
13, so don't worry about it. Wait, I'm just,
no, all I'm trying to say is, is that
better odds? It's
better odds if there's less of them, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So do you want to know what the luckiest Powerball number
is?
It's three.
Three is the most often
won Powerball number for big prizes.
Someone won $22 point million,
$22 point something million in January with a three.
But just to add a layer of difficulty,
it's not the most common Powerball number.
So the most common Powerball number,
that's two.
But that comes out and then people don't generally win off that one.
Wait, I'm confused.
Yeah.
I'm confused.
Not everyone always wins.
That's why we've got a jackpot.
So the number might come out and someone might not have all the seven numbers before that.
Just getting the Powerball doesn't win you the $38 million.
You've got to win the first division first and then they bolt that Powerball bit onto the end of it. So
if you're a real player
you'd get three plus two
and you'd pick five.
What? Add them together? What? You see what I'm saying?
Nah.
If you're like into Powerball
people who know will know.
If you win this weekend
and it's in some way
because of the advice you've just received on this show, we'll take a mill.
Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the studio New Zealand's latest social media phenomenon.
It's Ross Boss.
Yay, Ross Blath.
We both get a message from Bross.
From Ross Boss.
Ross Boss over the weekend saying...
Ross, you nearly made me crap my dacks.
Hey, that was good though.
I had a real good trick on you.
He sends this message to me and it's like,
did he send you the same thing?
He goes, big, massive news.
He's like, now don't freak out.
And I was like, what is it?
And then he told me and I was like, oh.
Tell everyone your big news, Ross.
Well, yesterday I hit a,000 followers on Instagram.
I'm no longer a nano.
I'm a micro influencer.
What an achievement.
What an achievement.
That's the 2019 equivalent of graduating from university.
What a goal.
The problem is I've just logged in.
I've just logged in.
I'm back at 999.
Well, interestingly.
Do you guys not follow me?
Well, I wanted to keep you humble, so I unfollowed you.
When?
When did you do that?
I also just unfollowed you then, too.
Okay.
Also, producers.
Producers, can you unfollow Ross Boss, please?
Yeah.
Yeah, I've done it.
Okay, so hold on.
Wait.
You were at 1,000.
You're now...
Oh, no, you're still sitting at 998.
I saw that.
I guess it's got to, like, click through something.
997, it's going down.
It's going down.
You know what's happening?
The courier driver's getting to my house.
He's picking up the HelloFresh box and he's taking it back.
Yeah, the HelloFresh you automatically get when you become an influencer.
You almost got that.
And you know what?
We feel bad because we're doing this as a joke,
but we know how much this has meant to you for a long time, don't we, Clint?
We know how much.
Deep down, you don't want to run a radio station.
You want to do sponsored Instagram posts.
You've talked about this.
I just want specific free things for my house.
Yeah, yeah.
You have talked about this to me for, I reckon,
since I got here, for two years about getting...
And what have you been doing about it?
Nothing.
Well, you know what?
That stops now.
Oh, good.
It's about time we started to use this radio show
to help Ross Boss get more followers.
From today, this show's only goal is to help you achieve
minimum 5,000 followers.
My goal is 10,000 by the end of the week.
Yeah, but we want to set the bar achievable.
Minimum five.
We'll be happy with five. You know, you can't take the station's budget000 by the end of the week. Yeah, but we want to set the bar achievable. But minimum five, we'll be happy with five.
You know, you can't take the station's budget
to buy followers for this whole thing.
No, we're talking legit.
We don't want to ruin your analytics, mate.
We want real, New Zealand
based ZM followers
to create New Zealand's
next Instagram celebrity. We're gonna
do things to help you, mate. We're gonna do
all the things that the influencers do to get you the followers.
We're going to do bikini pics.
I just had that idea there.
We're going to do fitness shakes.
Do I have to do anything here, though?
Because I don't want to.
We will help you.
We're going to be your social media managers.
This is where it begins.
This is where I'm going to leave for the rest of the week.
No social media.
It's us.
It's us because we're young millennials.
It starts right now.
Go and follow Ross Flahive.
That's Ross Boss's real name.
For one, my first thing, I think you should change your name to Ross Boss.
See, my wife says this, but no, I don't want to be,
I don't want to cash in.
I just want to be pure.
What do you mean you don't want to cash in?
This whole thing is about cashing in. I just want to be pure. What do you mean you don't want to cash in? This whole thing is about cashing in.
I was going to say, sell yourself now.
No, so you get to Ross Playhive and my kid is cute.
Yes.
He is cute.
He does draw me into your social media.
Look, just like I did when I was a kid,
so it means he's got some very awkward years ahead of him,
but we'll use it now.
I do a good meme.
Yes.
Okay, this is Ross selling himself.
This is good.
We like this.
Yeah.
So are you going to change your handle to Ross Boss or not?
No.
What do you think, Clint, as my consultant, as my colleague?
Does Madonna change her to?
You should change your name to Madonna.
Yeah.
We might get there by the end of the week to get him to change it.
But for right now, go follow Ross Boss on Instagram.
Ross Flahive.
F-L-A-H-I-V-E.
That's Ross F-L-A-H-I-V-E.
Ross Flahive.
Go follow him now.
Ben, thank you very much.
Producer Ben, very kind for finally following me.
Yeah, thanks, mate.
Appreciate this.
Have you only just got on board?
That's what this is about.
Wait, so we're back up to only 998.
There was other ones that came out. Sure, we've got a whole week to take care of this. Go follow him now. Wait, so we're back up to only 998.
There was other ones that came out.
We've got a whole week to take care of this.
Go follow him now.
We've got to get to 5K by the end of the week.
And when you do become super famous,
don't forget to tag us in your pics, okay?
Yep.
And also, if you get a free vacuum cleaner, I'll shock on that.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Trash.
All treasure. Pretty simple game. I'm not. Brie and Clint, the podcast, ZM. Trash or treasure?
Pretty simple game.
We'll give you an item and then you just need to tell us whether you think it's valued at under 5K being trash
or over 5K being treasure.
Alice, you just need two out of three correct.
If you can do that, you win free mobile fuel.
And if you can't, then Jenny will take your prize
for doing absolutely nothing.
Alrighty. Right, Alice, ready to do prize for doing absolutely nothing. All righty.
All right, Alice, ready to do all the work?
Here comes item number one.
Miami Dolphin Stadium.
They got a cork board and I think they used balsa wood.
There's only one original architect's model of Joe Robbie Stadium constructed.
So this was the model made to sell the concept to the fans in the city of Miami.
Okay.
Wait, so is that a stadium for ants?
It's a replica stadium of a team that only some people care about, the Miami Dolphins.
Is that trash or treasure, Alice?
Let's go treasure.
Treasure over 5K?
Let's take a listen.
I'd give you like four grand for it.
So close.
So close.
That's okay.
Maybe you can get it on the second item.
Here it is.
So is this George Washington's suit?
It is.
It's a three-piece suit that he acquired sometime in the mid-18th century.
It's amazing that it held up so well.
I purchased this George Washington suit over 21 years ago,
and it was one of my first major purchases
from my collection of Americana.
Wow.
It's a George Washington actual suit.
We're looking at it now on the screen.
That is incredible.
It's like beige-y.
It looks like something that would have been worn
during the Civil War.
Like Captain Cook.
Yeah.
How much?
Well, first of all, trash or treasure for George Washington's three-piece suit, Alice?
Try treasure again.
Yeah, I can treasure too.
I wouldn't sell for less than $3 million.
Whoa!
$3 million.
I mean, it's just in the treasure category.
Would you wear it?
If you paid $3 million for it, would you wear it? Yes, I'm wearing it.
You have to wear it, right? Yeah. You paid $3 million for it. You you wear it? Hell yes, I'm wearing it. You have to wear it, right?
Yeah.
You paid $3 million for it.
You've got to wear it every day
for the rest of your life.
Good work, Alice.
You're on the board.
You need this one
and you'll take out the mobile fuel, okay?
Cool.
What do you have?
I've got a $30 bill
made by the United States.
Looks like a $20 bill to me.
It does.
And that looks like a $10.
Now it looks like a $10 bill.
So what happened?
Was this an error on the printing press or something?
Yeah, exactly.
They put the backs first, and they let them dry overnight.
And then instead of printing the front with a $10,
they accidentally slipped those in, and they printed the front with a $20.
Right.
So wait.
So on the front, it's a $20.
And on the back?
It's a $10.
That's it.
So I know for a fact I've seen shows like this. Miss Prince
and all that kind of stuff. Super collectible.
Well, there's a real market for them. Yes.
But is it worth anything or is it
worth nothing because you can't actually spend it?
Alice, trash or treasure?
Oh, treasure.
Locking in treasure
for the third one. Is it worth
over 5k? I'd put an
auction value I would expect us to bring
between $30,000 and $40,000.
She's done it!
$35,000.
That means you win.
We've got some free mobile fuel for you.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Do you want the fuel
or do you want...
We've actually got one
of George Washington's old suits.
Do you want one of those?
We'll go to fuel.
It's a sweaty one, so you probably don't want one.
Yeah, he's got spaghetti bolognese on it.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
In studio at the moment, producer Ben.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon, guys.
You have in your friend circle, well, a new member, really.
Yeah, a new member.
You've got a new member joining your friend group.
But you're mourning the loss of one.
No, not yet.
One of the mates has decided
that he's found a girl that he likes
and he might be leaving the friend group
to go and just be in a relationship, which
is obviously fine. That is not true.
That's not what happens to
everyone. He's chosen
a girlfriend. He's chosen
chicks over dicks.
And he's finally ready. He introduced
her to you boys.
So it must be serious.
So he brought this girl around the other day.
She's lovely, by the way.
She brought with her some things.
She brought a box of beers.
Twin sisters.
No, she brought us a box of beers and a block of chocolate
and said, I just want to say this is a peace offering.
I'm not here to take them from you.
Wait, so she rolled into this house with beers, chocolate,
and the first thing she said to you was,
I'm not here to steal your friend from you.
Yeah.
Like she knew she was in enemy territory.
She knew she was entering hostile waters,
and she came with a white flag and a peace offering straight away.
This is incredible. I've seen the picture of the beers
and the chocolate. It's a nice beer. She's went
real fancy. They're craft beers
and it's also a packet of
Artisan Square's Whittaker's chocolates.
Like she hasn't stopped off at the
gas station on the way over. She's put
some thought into this because she
wants you guys on side with that
relationship from the start. I like
this. It's relationship politics.
She's playing chess and I would say at the moment
mate, she's in control. She
has you exactly where she wants you.
Yep, she does but I don't
like it. I don't know if I like it.
I'm not buying it. I just don't know if I'm
Why would you do that? I think it's a little
bit over the top.
I agree with you Bree. You know what I that? I think it's a little bit over the top. Yeah, I agree with you, Bree.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, I want someone, I want to like someone for them
and not because they brought over some beers and chocolate and stuff.
What is she hiding that I don't, you know?
That's what you guys think straight away.
My initial reaction was, this guy's found a keeper.
Yeah, right.
She wants a relationship with him
and she wants to keep the mates happy as well.
This girl is a keeper.
Why would she open with that line if she hadn't been through that in the first place already with another boyfriend?
Good point.
But yeah, yep, yep.
Why would she open?
All I'm saying is why would she open with that line?
In some cultures, it's rude to not arrive with a gift, you know?
And this is her first time on site.
My parents always taught me,
you don't show up empty handed.
You've come to my house plenty of times with nothing.
She's got you there actually.
Came over for a state of origin that time.
And have I ever been invited back?
No.
No, exactly right.
This girl wants to be invited back.
Probably a smart move.
Probably smart.
And she's obviously, she's lovely
and I'm really happy because he's happy.
But it just was very forward, and I was like, who?
I mean, beers to the house is fine, but none of us really,
none of the lads are sitting around like, man, I'd love some chocolate.
Let's put it out there, actually,
and let's run the public filter over it, shall we?
Let's get the ZM audience to answer this.
If a girl shows up, she's just started dating a friend of yours,
or a guy, actually. Or a guy, yeah.
This works for a guy, right?
Say your friend's new partner
shows up with beer and chocolate
and says,
I want to be friends with you guys.
Does that make them a keeper
or is that a bit of a red flag
in your opinion?
0800 dial ZM
or you can text us on 9696.
What do you make of it all?
It'd be interesting.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
So producer Ben tells us
his friend has a new girlfriend
and this girlfriend came around
to meet the friends,
the boys,
for the first time on the weekend
and she came bearing gifts.
She showed up with a box of beer
and a block of chocolates
and a statement saying,
I am not here to steal your friend away from you.
It was the first thing she said.
Look, I've thought about it and I've read some of the text messages.
I think I've been a little bit too harsh.
I think she just went too hard.
I think she just should have went beers.
Okay, maybe she got nervous.
Oh, was it the chocolate that put it over the top?
I think it's just a little bit over the top.
Yeah. Like go one or the other. Yeah. I think it's just a little bit over the top. Yeah.
Like go one or the other.
Yeah.
I think it's nice.
Have you ever done anything like this?
Have you ever made some kind of gesture to impress the friend group of the person that you're dating?
Because their approval is so important.
Yeah, I've realised I'm a bit of a hypocrite.
What have you done?
Maybe it's just because I'm old and cold and bitter and, you know.
But I realised one time, you tell me if this is smooth or not,
I was dating someone and we were going out for brunch
with these two friends for the first time
and they were a couple as well
and I thought I'm going to be real smooth here
and what I did was I took out my ATM card and put it in my pocket
and we sat down and we all had brunch.
And then I was like, oh, I've got to go to the bathroom.
Oh, no.
Walked inside and then paid for everyone.
I know what you're trying to do.
That's nice.
It is nice, but it's over the top.
That one there makes me go, what's she trying to prove?
Oh, what?
So beer, chocolate, and then a weird statement is fine with you then?
What do you reckon, Ryan?
The beers and the chocolate from this girl who's new, new on the scene,
is it a red flag or is she a total keeper?
Oh, she's thought outside the box, right?
No, she's a keeper.
And brought over a box.
Not really because it was just a box.
Yeah, she's thought about the box and showed up with it.
It's a box of Emerson's.
So if it was your mate, you would be encouraging your friend
to keep this girl around?
Is that what you'd do?
Yeah, definitely.
Then mission accomplished.
Yeah, of course Ryan's going to say that.
He gets free beers and chocolate.
Would you hit her up later on and go,
hey, you've been dating him for a couple of years now
and we haven't actually seen any more beers or any more chocolates.
Yeah, where's all the beers and the chocolate gone?
Just wondering if you're getting a bit comfortable.
As long as the wedding shout covers that as well.
That's good.
I do love a good wedding shout.
Hi, Warren.
Warren's given up.
That's okay.
Hi, Sully.
Hello.
Sully, what are your thoughts on this?
Oh, I definitely think she's a keeper.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think she's, well, one, she cares enough about the guy
that she's willing to do something to impress the friend.
Two, she's being responsible.
She's not giving them bears on an empty tummy,
so she's thought about that too.
Very good, yep.
And, yeah, I think maybe the friend might be a bit too hard to please here,
to be fair.
This is what I thought too.
Why are you looking a gift horse in the mouth?
Like seriously, she's shown up with all this stuff
and straight away you're trying to think about her ulterior motives.
What if you impress the friends too much
and then one of the friends becomes interested?
Well, what about this?
That's exactly what this text is here.
And this is from a girl's perspective.
It says, this girl is an ultimate GB.
If I was greeted with chocolates and wine from the gal, from the gal's, what?
From the gal's by a new boyfriend intruder on my bestie, I'd almost want to marry them
myself.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, it's a very complicated way to get that text message out.
Hi, Bex.
Hi, Bex.
Hey, how you going?
What are your thoughts?
Woman's perspective.
100% Kiefer. 100%.
I actually did a similar
thing, not with a relationship, but it was actually
the new partner of my
ex-husband. I met her
for the first time before she met my daughter
and I turned up with a bottle of wine
and I basically said, hey, thanks so much for meeting
me. Here's a bottle of wine. Let's make this
work. And we've been mates ever since.
You did that for your ex-husband's new partner?
Yeah, think about it.
So she's going to be looking after my kid
and making sure her best interests come first
and wrangling the ex-husband.
She's now on my side.
I also went a step further and for Mother's Day,
instead of getting a Mother's Day card, obviously she's not the mother,
but she helps look after my kid.
I got her a thank you card and said, hey, thanks so much for all you do for her.
And I actually got her a little pot plant and a box of chocolates.
And actually her along with me have both lost our mothers too.
So I was like, it's a hard day for both of us.
She started crying.
I hugged her.
I actually said to my ex-husband, hug her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, yeah, we've been, like, so I was like, it's a hard day for both of us. She started crying. I hugged her. I actually said to my ex-husband, hug her.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've been so good.
The daughter comes first, right?
I need to ask you, you seem like an expert on this.
So the beers and the chocolate that
the new girlfriend brought over, that's
nice, and you say keeper.
Me paying for everyone at brunch?
I say keeper as well.
That's what I would do.
I would totally do that.
I would put my FOSS card in my pocket and just be like, you know,
you're welcome guys.
I was hoping you'd say creep because it was very expensive.
Okay, well, I reckon as well.
She's coming with good intentions.
Yes, she might have come in a bit hot, but you know.
I need to date someone that buys gifts.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Hey.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's birthday thing.
All right, we're going to take your birthdays,
figure out what was topping the charts on everyone's 16th birthday.
Got it, Marie.
Hi, Marie.
Hi.
What's your birthday, Marie?
The 5th of November, Marie. Hi. What's your birthday, Marie? The 5th of November, 1974.
Okay, Marie, you were 16 in 1990 on the 5th of November,
and back in the 90s, this topped the charts.
Bon Jovi.
Blaze of Glory.
I'll have that. You'll have that? It's a good one, Marie. Blaze of Glory. I'll have that.
You'll have that?
It's a good one, Marie.
It hits hard.
I think you've got a good birthday banger.
Okay, what about Gina?
Hi, Gina.
Hi, Gina.
Hi.
What's your birthday, Gina?
The 2nd of February, 1993.
All right, you were 16 in 2009 on the 2nd of Feb,
and this is your birthday banger.
Quintessential 2000 soft rock band, The Fray, and You Found Me.
Bring back some memories, Gina?
Yeah, it's a pretty good song.
I mean, it's a fairly depressing birthday banger, but it's a good song, right?
It's also got power behind it.
It's got emotion.
Power behind the pain.
Yeah, as long as it triggers something for you, that's what you need.
And Lurie.
Hi, Lurie.
Hi.
What's your birthday?
25th of April, 89.
Okay, you were 16 in 2005 on the 25th of April,
and back in the mid-2000s, this was number one.
Speaking of Friday Jams Live, he's going to be there.
You got Footy Sims and Candy Shop.
Yeah, that's a good song.
Are you coming to Friday Jams Live, Laurie?
No, I wish.
You could be if you call up next for Swap Shop.
What are we going to play today out of those three songs?
I like all of them.
I like two of them.
Which one don't you like?
I don't like Bon Jovi.
Yeah, I do know that about you.
I feel like, I don't know, Living on a Prayer.
I've heard it too many times.
Shut down, but not that song. No, not that song, no. That's a better one, Living on a Prayer. I've heard it too many times. But not that song.
No, not that song, no.
That's a better one than Living on a Prayer.
Yeah.
It's very bogan.
It's very bogan.
Well, I am bogan, so that's probably why I like John Bon Jovi.
So am I at my core.
Who am I trying to be?
I guess you're right.
I'm not even at my core.
I'm on my outer core.
The Fray?
Is that a weak choice? I'm on my outer core. The fray? Is that a weak choice?
I'm really torn today.
Is that a good 50 cent song?
I think it is.
Are you joking?
Of course it's good.
Okay, it's got my vote.
I'm going 50 cent candy shop.
I always look to the producers
to see if I...
Yeah, look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me and pick the song you want.
The fray. You want the Fray. Okay, then we do
go to the producers. Split
decision, we're going to give it to producer
Ellie this afternoon.
Which song wins Birthday Banger?
Oh!
Oh, this is a hard
one. I don't know.
Oh. I'll be
happy with it. Can you help me?
They chose you.
They chose you.
Three, two, one, go.
A blaze of glory.
Yes, I'm happy with that.
Sorry, it just came out.
It was in you.
The decision was in you.
You were just scared to say it.
No, I wasn't.
It's totally fine.
Marie, you've won birthday banger.
Congratulations.
Yay!
Yes.
We got in trouble for ABBA.
Get out your jandals.
Did we get in trouble for Bon Jovi?
Hell no.
No, I don't think so either.
Bon Jovi is king.
This is Birthday Banger ZM.
Wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head.
I've got an old coat for a pillow in the earth whose last night's bed. I don't know where I'm going.
Only God knows where I've been.
I'm a devil on the run.
A six-gun lover.
A gamble in the wind.
Yeah! I'm going to be the wise man when I ask if I'll grow old.
You ask me if I've known loving what it's like to sing songs in the rain.
Well, I've seen love come.
I've seen it shot down.
I've seen it die in vain.
Shot down in a place of glory.
Take me now
But know the truth
Cause I'm going now
In a place of glory
Lord, I never choose first
But I choose first
Lord, I'm a devil's son
I'll be your girl guitar solo Tonight I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm so, so deep
Lord, I gotta ask a favor
And I hope you'll understand
Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring down a booth
Let me make my final stand
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now, I'm going to
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord, I know what you've done, but you must pay no price
Call me your God Lord, I don't know what to say. I'm a young man.
I'm a young man.
I'm a young man. I'm a young man.
I'm a young man. I am hell, you're a fire Zeddy and Bree and Clint, there's the winner of Birthday Banger.
Don't you reckon that last part there, sounds like the Breaking Bad music?
It does sound a bit like the Breaking Bad music.
Don't you reckon?
Steel guitar, I think.
Yeah, right.
That's what it is.
Like I know guitars.
I think you'll find that's a steel guitar.
A Gibson.
Yeah.
That's the only brand of guitar I know.
Yeah, I think that's a Les Paul.
I don't know.
Yeah, good from you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do we know anything else?
Sounds like a...
Key of G. I think that's Key of G. Yeah. Does from you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do we know anything else? Sounds like a... Key of G?
I think that's key of G.
Yeah.
Does need a tune, though, I think.
Sharp, yeah, it's running a bit sharp.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nice, though.
Sounds like a hollowback.
Good reverb.
Yeah, yeah.
Hollowback?
Is there any other sort, mate?
Nah.
Not in my books, anyway.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Bree and Clint's Friday James Live Swap Shop is back.
Come on, girl.
Let's get it.
All right, Friday James Live takes over Western Springs Sunday,
the 17th of November.
Janet Jackson is headlining alongside the Black Eyed Peas,
50 Cent, Jason Derulo, Kerry Hilson, and heaps more as well.
Scribe Savage.
I mean, it goes on and on.
We can get you there for free all this week in our swap shop.
You just have to swap us something in return for Double Pass to Friday Jams Live.
And just T's and C's, you actually have to give us the item that you're putting up.
T's and C's, you won't receive the tickets until we receive the item, okay?
That's how this works.
Exactly, that's how a deal works.
You do need to know, though, at the end of the week,
the very best item is going to have their regular double pass to Friday Jams Live
upgraded to a diamond pass.
That's going to get you right in the VIP area at the front of the stadium.
You can basically touch the stage.
It's a diamond semicircle.
That's how elite this group of people is and how close you're going to be.
We'll explain how that part of it works a little bit later on,
but for now, let's find out what people are willing to offer
in return for tickets today.
Hi Anthony. Hi Anthony.
How we going? Good. How bad
do you want to go to Friday Jams Live?
Oh yeah, pretty bad. I've never been to a concert before.
Oh really? Oh well this is
the one to go to. You get your money's worth.
What are you willing to offer us Anthony?
My three year army service
medal. Oh. You're going to offer us the medal that My three-year army service medal.
Oh, you're going to offer us the medal that you got for service to our country in the army?
Yeah, so yeah, regular force, three years.
Wow.
It's not too long ago, but yeah.
That's three years of your life.
Why would you do that?
I feel like that's fairly sentimental.
It's definitely sentimental, but then so is VIP tickets to meet this concert, first concert.
Okay.
Money can't buy that sort of thing.
I see it.
We see where your priorities are too.
That's fine.
Cam's here.
Hi, Cam.
Hi, Cam.
Hi.
What are you offering up?
It's a single ticket to a Eden and Hillary movie on Thursday.
Wait.
Plus. Plus. Plus.
Plus.
Plus.
I got some other things.
I got a Garfield DVD.
Yeah.
I got some Bollywood DVDs.
Yeah.
I got a small kid's guitar.
Yeah.
I've got a $12 K-Market credit note.
Yeah.
And I got a VCR machine.
All right, Cam.
I feel like you don't have much to offer, but you're just giving it your best. Is that what's happening?
I've got
one question for you, just to clarify.
Is it a kid's
small guitar, or is it a ukulele?
It's a kid's
small guitar. Alright, we'll
take that into consideration. Hannah,
hi, what have you got for us in return for Friday Jam's live tickets?
This is the swap shop.
Hi, well, I have three chickens.
Their names are Mother Clucker, Chicken Nugget, and Chicken Cavanara.
Oh, Hannah.
Good names.
Okay, do we have any land?
Oh, my God, we could give them to Vaughan, but we could get him to pay us.
We could sell them to Vaughan.
Sell them to Vaughan.
Yeah, okay.
I'll even chuck in their hutch and some food.
Oh, okay.
Do you think they're faulty chickens that she wants to get rid of?
Yeah, maybe they don't like.
I hate a chicken who doesn't like.
Let's just see what else we've got.
Amber, hi.
Hi.
Amber, what are you offering up in the swap shop?
I have an iPhone 6.
An iPhone 6?
Oh, is it an S or just an iPhone 6?
I'm not actually too sure.
Probably just an 6.
Is it a plus or is it the regular size?
Just the little one, the regular.
I don't think they had the pluses in the system.
Yeah, they did.
It was the first plus that ever came out.
Oh, so it's vintage.
Wait, I've got one more question.
Does it work?
Oh, definitely.
Is it unlocked?
Yeah.
Okay, wait there. One more thing. Nick. Hey, how's it work? Oh, definitely. Is it unlocked? Yep.
Okay, wait there.
One more thing.
Nick.
Hey, how's it going?
Nick, very good.
I have a feeling you've got something good to offer up in the swap shop.
Yeah, I run a karaoke business and I'm willing to give a six to eight hour gig.
So not only can we sing, yeah, you can sing all your Guilty Pleasure songs as well as all the Friday Night
Jams ones. Wait, are you going to come and sing
the songs or set up the karaoke machine for us?
Yeah, we'll set up and sing
if there's no singers.
But if there's singers, oh man,
the more the better. We could do a live
Friday-oke. Okay, wait there.
And Nick sets it up. We've got an army
medal, we've got a small guitar and a Garfield DVD.
We've got three chickens.
Touch.
An iPhone 6 and a karaoke session.
Look, I don't want to say I'm disappointed with the first round of stuff,
but it's not a car.
I'm a little bit disappointed.
I think we take the iPhone.
That's what I think too.
I think we get up and running.
There's no strings attached. No strings attached with that. Exactly. We take the iPhone. That's what I think too. I think we get up and running. We get some, there's no strings attached.
No strings attached with that.
Exactly.
We take it seriously.
We don't have to get the animals.
It's a good phone.
It's a good phone.
The 6 is still a good phone.
Hey, nothing wrong with the 6.
Okay, I think we've made our decision.
Amber,
we're going to take your iPhone 6 from you
in return for two Friday Jams live tickets.
Congratulations.
Oh, damn.
Thank you very much.
No worries, Amber.
We'll see you there. Apologies to Mother Clucker the chicken. I would love, damn. Thank you very much. No worries, Amber. We'll see you there.
Apologies to Mother Clucker, the chicken.
I would love to have you.
We just don't have anywhere to put you.
Mother Clucker.
I could have been friends with Kim Kardashian.
Kim Cluckdashian.
Kim Cluckdashian.
The Slop Shop returns tomorrow.
Start thinking about what you want to give us in returns for tickets.
We're going to set the bar higher tomorrow.
It's got to be higher than this.
It's got to be better.
We've got to get bigger stuff coming in.
Double passes up for grabs
and if you want to just go,
there are still some tickets
available for Friday Jams Live.
You can find them
at ticketmaster.co.nz.
Brie and Clint,
the podcast.
ZM.
If you've been listening
to this show for a while,
you might know
I've been trying
to radically make over
Brie's wardrobe.
I'm trying to make her
more fashionable.
I think the cooler you get,
the bigger this show's going to be.
So I'm
invested in this as well. I've been trying to get
you to wear Crocs, so much so
we even wrote a song for it.
I'm too sexy for my Crocs.
Too sexy for my Crocs.
Crocs on my feet.
I thought they hit you
with a cease and desist on that song.
No, no.
If anything, they said play it more.
It's good for the band.
It's good for the brand.
This is like a nightmare that you continue to have over and over again.
It's because you won't trust me.
You wouldn't wear them when I showed you that Post Malone had released his own Crocs.
I don't like them.
You wouldn't wear them when I showed you that Balenciaga had released platform Crocs.
To be fair,
I couldn't get you those ones.
They were too expensive.
I said I would wear those.
You still wouldn't wear them
when I showed you
that Ariana Grande
is now wearing Crocs
on her Instagram.
So I'm thinking,
what do I have to do
to get through to you?
Who do I need to show you
that you will believe me
that Crocs are a new thing?
So I thought,
what is Brie?
She's Australian.
Hmm. She's a bit edgy.
She's cool.
Deep down, she's cool.
At least she will be when she puts those Crocs on.
So how about the latest collaboration from the Crocs company,
the Ruby Rose Crocs?
Cool.
Ruby Rose, star of Orange is the New Black.
The new Catwoman film.
Yeah, she went out with the Veronicas that time.
Not both of them.
She went out with one.
I can't tell them apart.
She has her own line of Crocs.
How about these?
Does this make you want to put Crocs on your feet?
No.
But it's Ruby Rose.
It's cool.
I know.
Like, she's great. And, you know, Aussie's great. Do it for Australia. Yeah,'s Ruby Rose. It's cool. I know. Like, she's great and, you know, Aussie's great.
Do it for Australia.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, she's doing all that, you know, stuff,
but it just makes her less attractive.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It does.
No, this is what I'm telling you.
That's what cool is.
The ones she's holding are not quite accurate.
The ones you buy are up on the screen there.
They come pre-scuffed, so they are white Crocs that come with dirt already on them.
And then they've got a whole lot of Ruby Rose badges stuck on them.
There's like a boom box.
And there's one that says sport on the side of it.
They honestly remind me of my 85-year-old Nona
and what she would wear out in the garden.
If you want these ones, I can get these ones.
I've just gone onto the Crocs website.
There's a waiting list, but if you're keen...
There's a waiting list?
If you're keen, I think Producer Ben will let me spend
some of the show budget.
They're $64.99.
Can we buy a pair of Ruby Rose Crocs for Bree?
If Bree says yes right now, they're yours.
All right, I'm going to make you a deal.
Yeah.
All right, I've thought about it.
Yeah.
If you can get a personalised message from Ruby Rose telling me I should wear her Crocs
and that they're cool.
You'll wear them for a month.
Oh, that's good.
That is so good.
That is a long time.
Yeah, it's a long time.
She's hard to get.
She's Batwoman.
Two weeks.
Nah.
Oh, sorry, you did the negotiation. Three weeks and you've got a deal. Two weeks. No. Oh, sorry, you did the negotiation.
Three weeks and you've got a deal.
Two and a half.
Two weeks and four days.
Deal.
Deal.
Done.
Great doing business with you.
Producer Ben, can you get on to Ruby Rose, please?
Yeah, easy.
Actually, can you just load up that message that we already have from Ruby Rose?
Oh, shut up.
You don't have it.
No, we need to order the Crocs.
We need to get Ruby Rose.
We've got work to do.
But this is great.
This is great.
By the time you put them on your feet, you'll never want to take them off.
Why'd I make that dumb deal?
I like this.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
I mean, look, we're coming into summer,
and one of the best things to do in summer, in my opinion,
is to have a Sunday session.
Oh, yeah?
It's big in Australia.
Is it big here?
You mean like getting on the beersies on a sunny Sunday afternoon?
Have a few drinks with the friends.
One of the best things to do on a Sunday, one of the worst ways to start your week.
Yeah, true.
You're behind for the rest of the week.
Well, actually, not true, not true.
If you're responsible enough to tap out at the right point on a Sunday session.
You start early.
That's the best thing about a Sunday session.
Go home.
Finish at nine.
Have some waters and a nice big dinner.
You're done.
You've done your socialising.
Yeah, I can get on board with that.
Well, let's see if you'll get on board with this Sunday session.
So this is something that's actually happening in Sydney.
It's a one-off event that's happening on October 27th
at a place called Stitch Bar and it's called Bottoms Up Sydney.
Yeah.
Where essentially it is a nude Sunday session.
Yeah.
Okay.
So at this one-off event, you can have a few drinks on a Sunday Arvo in the nude.
Starkers.
Okay.
Fresh.
Yeah, I got it.
Breezy.
Don't worry, I've got it.
I've got the whole picture.
So let me give you a few more details.
Sure.
It's being run by the Young Nudists of Australia.
So it's for young people.
Yeah.
Because that's the big risk, right?
You run a nudist event and all the baby boomers show up. Yes, so they're pitching's for young people. Yeah. Because that's the big risk, right? You run a nudist event and all
the baby boomers show up. Yes, so they're pitching it
to young people. They're encouraging young
people to come along. People who
buy a ticket will be advised to
wear footwear and to
bring a towel to sit on.
So, I've got a question. Yeah.
You know when someone's naked
and they've got shoes on,
it looks very weird.
Have you ever done it?
It's like when you go to the gym showers with jandals on.
It's strange.
How uncomfortable does it feel to be completely naked?
Yeah, you're right, actually.
It's a sock and a shoe.
It's a closed-toe shoe.
It is a closed-toe shoe.
Why is that?
I don't know.
Why is it so weird?
Are the girls wearing high heels?
Does it matter?
What are they wearing?
And when you're putting your ensemble together,
what are you trying to match your shoes to?
Are you going, these don't match my what?
Pupes?
It's health and safety.
Oh.
So they have to be wearing shoes because there's glass.
Yeah, but then you've got to put some thought and effort in.
So then I also thought, I was like, well, my next thought is
I usually have my ID and my bank card and my phone.
Where does that go?
Where do I put that?
You know, well, I've thought of that too.
You'll be given a lanyard which will have a plastic pouch on it
that you can carry your cash.
So you're just awkwardly flapping around this party
with shoes and a lanyard full of all your belongings in it.
Nah.
No, thank you.
Hey, at least there's nothing to hide.
Like imagine if you met someone there.
I mean it just takes, you know, all that awkwardness out of it.
You mean physically nothing to hide?
Yeah, still, I'm not 100% sold.
But I have thought, you know, you're at a bar Sunday session,
I've thought of the perfect pick-up line for a guy.
All right, hit me with it.
So if you're a guy, you walk up to a girl, you go,
Hi, how are you?
My name's Tom.
That's my dick.
And if it's a good one, you're in.
For the last week, we've been giving away Samsung S9 phones,
thanks to Two Degrees,
to people who have shared their awkward dating app stories with us. That's right and if your story was good enough
and awkward enough, you win
the phone. We're going to get one more because
like it hasn't quite been cringeworthy enough
yet, so we thought, hey, let's get one more on here.
What, the sharting story wasn't enough for you?
No, the cousin DP wasn't
enough for me either, so Sam,
congratulations, you're going to be our final
awkward dating app story.
What happened?
So, it was down in Macargo a couple of years ago,
and I met up with this guy on Grindr.
We went out and had a drink.
Wait, can I stop you there for a second?
Yeah.
What is the Grindr scene in Invercargill like?
About 10 people.
Right.
So, pretty good odds if you're on it then.
Yeah, pretty much.
Okay, so you met up with a guy on Grindr and
Invercargill. Carry on.
Yeah, so we went out for a drink,
went back to his place, started getting busy.
Long story short, he
farted and ended up pooping all over me.
He what
all over you? He pooped
all over me. Oh my
giddy aunt, Sam. Shut
up. And
then after that, we didn't talk
for a couple of months, and then
we were at a family function.
And I saw him there, and I
asked my mother who he was.
Turns out he's my second cousin. Oh my
God! Sam,
why are you doing this to us?
Sam!
Wait a minute.
We just said the sharting and the cousin story couldn't be topped.
Sam's has both.
You've got a sharting second cousin.
You should have known. Are you from Invercargill?
Yeah, I am.
This is why people in Invercargill need to date outside of Invercargill,
to broaden the gene pool, Sam.
That's all we've been saying for years.
You should have known better, Sam.
I moved up the Christchurch five years ago
and haven't regretted that.
No, I don't doubt it.
Oh.
Far out.
My God.
We saved the best.
Was it the best or the worst for last?
