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.
Starting point is 00:03:44 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
Starting point is 00:04:00 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?
Starting point is 00:04:12 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.
Starting point is 00:04:21 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.
Starting point is 00:04:29 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.
Starting point is 00:04:44 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,
Starting point is 00:05:00 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
Starting point is 00:05:11 company money and company tickets to secure for ourselves this year the swap shop where you can get yourself free Friday Jams live tickets
Starting point is 00:05:18 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.
Starting point is 00:05:32 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.
Starting point is 00:05:48 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
Starting point is 00:06:03 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.
Starting point is 00:06:31 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,
Starting point is 00:06:50 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.
Starting point is 00:07:13 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?
Starting point is 00:07:35 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.
Starting point is 00:07:50 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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
Starting point is 00:08:16 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.
Starting point is 00:08:33 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.
Starting point is 00:08:50 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.
Starting point is 00:09:05 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.
Starting point is 00:09:20 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.
Starting point is 00:09:37 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.
Starting point is 00:10:02 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.
Starting point is 00:10:15 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.
Starting point is 00:10:30 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.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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.
Starting point is 00:11:06 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
Starting point is 00:11:21 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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
Starting point is 00:11:49 Batman versus Wolverine with magic. Okay. What a good description. That is epic. And then someone else said they watched Bohemian Rhapsody
Starting point is 00:11:57 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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.
Starting point is 00:12:21 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.
Starting point is 00:12:35 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?
Starting point is 00:12:46 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?
Starting point is 00:13:10 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,
Starting point is 00:13:22 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.
Starting point is 00:13:33 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
Starting point is 00:13:40 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.
Starting point is 00:13:50 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
Starting point is 00:14:04 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,
Starting point is 00:14:18 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.
Starting point is 00:14:33 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.
Starting point is 00:14:47 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?
Starting point is 00:15:06 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,
Starting point is 00:15:32 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.
Starting point is 00:15:50 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
Starting point is 00:16:09 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,
Starting point is 00:16:16 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.
Starting point is 00:16:26 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.
Starting point is 00:16:45 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
Starting point is 00:16:56 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
Starting point is 00:17:06 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
Starting point is 00:17:22 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
Starting point is 00:17:38 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,
Starting point is 00:17:55 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.
Starting point is 00:18:08 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.
Starting point is 00:18:21 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,
Starting point is 00:18:35 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
Starting point is 00:18:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:56 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,
Starting point is 00:19:07 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?
Starting point is 00:19:36 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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 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.
Starting point is 00:20:24 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
Starting point is 00:20:39 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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!
Starting point is 00:21:11 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.
Starting point is 00:21:29 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.
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:22:01 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?
Starting point is 00:22:27 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.
Starting point is 00:22:42 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.
Starting point is 00:23:01 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Uh-oh. Hello, sir. Hi. Are you at... Oh. What's that? And this guy pulls over. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 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.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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
Starting point is 00:24:29 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.
Starting point is 00:24:57 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.
Starting point is 00:25:11 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.
Starting point is 00:25:28 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
Starting point is 00:25:43 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,
Starting point is 00:26:01 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.
Starting point is 00:26:22 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.
Starting point is 00:26:40 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.
Starting point is 00:26:58 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?
Starting point is 00:27:17 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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 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?
Starting point is 00:27:44 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
Starting point is 00:27:58 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,
Starting point is 00:28:14 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?
Starting point is 00:28:25 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.
Starting point is 00:28:36 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.
Starting point is 00:28:58 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
Starting point is 00:29:07 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.
Starting point is 00:29:24 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
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:30:12 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.
Starting point is 00:30:30 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?
Starting point is 00:30:47 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?
Starting point is 00:30:57 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.
Starting point is 00:31:06 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.
Starting point is 00:31:22 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.
Starting point is 00:31:41 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.
Starting point is 00:31:59 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.
Starting point is 00:32:20 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.
Starting point is 00:32:44 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.
Starting point is 00:32:57 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.
Starting point is 00:33:12 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?
Starting point is 00:33:25 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.
Starting point is 00:33:37 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.
Starting point is 00:33:51 997, 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?
Starting point is 00:34:03 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.
Starting point is 00:34:17 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
Starting point is 00:34:31 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
Starting point is 00:34:48 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
Starting point is 00:35:03 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.
Starting point is 00:35:19 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.
Starting point is 00:35:33 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.
Starting point is 00:35:51 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.
Starting point is 00:36:02 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?
Starting point is 00:36:13 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.
Starting point is 00:36:32 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.
Starting point is 00:36:44 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.
Starting point is 00:37:00 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.
Starting point is 00:37:16 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.
Starting point is 00:37:31 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.
Starting point is 00:38:01 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.
Starting point is 00:38:15 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.
Starting point is 00:38:32 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.
Starting point is 00:38:44 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.
Starting point is 00:39:01 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.
Starting point is 00:39:09 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.
Starting point is 00:39:19 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,
Starting point is 00:39:33 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
Starting point is 00:39:46 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
Starting point is 00:40:02 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.
Starting point is 00:40:16 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.
Starting point is 00:40:25 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.
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:54 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.
Starting point is 00:41:08 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,
Starting point is 00:41:30 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
Starting point is 00:41:49 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
Starting point is 00:42:06 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
Starting point is 00:42:22 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.
Starting point is 00:42:39 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?
Starting point is 00:42:55 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.
Starting point is 00:43:14 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.
Starting point is 00:43:26 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.
Starting point is 00:43:46 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?
Starting point is 00:44:01 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
Starting point is 00:44:15 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,
Starting point is 00:44:27 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?
Starting point is 00:44:43 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.
Starting point is 00:44:57 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
Starting point is 00:45:19 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.
Starting point is 00:45:38 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.
Starting point is 00:46:00 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.
Starting point is 00:46:13 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.
Starting point is 00:46:33 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.
Starting point is 00:46:44 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.
Starting point is 00:47:00 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
Starting point is 00:47:15 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.
Starting point is 00:47:35 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.
Starting point is 00:47:45 100% 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
Starting point is 00:48:01 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.
Starting point is 00:48:21 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.
Starting point is 00:48:43 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
Starting point is 00:48:57 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.
Starting point is 00:49:17 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.
Starting point is 00:49:30 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?
Starting point is 00:49:43 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.
Starting point is 00:50:08 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.
Starting point is 00:50:19 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.
Starting point is 00:50:50 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,
Starting point is 00:51:05 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?
Starting point is 00:51:32 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.
Starting point is 00:51:46 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?
Starting point is 00:51:58 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.
Starting point is 00:52:12 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.
Starting point is 00:52:22 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
Starting point is 00:52:40 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.
Starting point is 00:52:54 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.
Starting point is 00:53:05 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.
Starting point is 00:53:16 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.
Starting point is 00:54:05 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
Starting point is 00:54:31 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
Starting point is 00:55:39 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
Starting point is 00:56:12 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.
Starting point is 00:57:02 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.
Starting point is 00:57:15 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?
Starting point is 00:57:25 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.
Starting point is 00:57:35 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.
Starting point is 00:57:47 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.
Starting point is 00:58:03 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
Starting point is 00:58:26 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.
Starting point is 00:58:48 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
Starting point is 00:59:04 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.
Starting point is 00:59:21 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.
Starting point is 00:59:33 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.
Starting point is 00:59:47 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.
Starting point is 01:00:02 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?
Starting point is 01:00:19 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.
Starting point is 01:00:35 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.
Starting point is 01:00:48 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.
Starting point is 01:01:02 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.
Starting point is 01:01:15 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.
Starting point is 01:01:25 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
Starting point is 01:01:48 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
Starting point is 01:02:03 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.
Starting point is 01:02:22 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.
Starting point is 01:02:30 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.
Starting point is 01:02:41 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.
Starting point is 01:02:51 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.
Starting point is 01:03:03 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,
Starting point is 01:03:14 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.
Starting point is 01:03:22 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.
Starting point is 01:03:36 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.
Starting point is 01:03:49 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.
Starting point is 01:04:07 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,
Starting point is 01:04:16 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.
Starting point is 01:04:26 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.
Starting point is 01:04:45 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?
Starting point is 01:05:01 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,
Starting point is 01:05:10 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.
Starting point is 01:05:28 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...
Starting point is 01:05:48 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.
Starting point is 01:06:01 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.
Starting point is 01:06:18 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.
Starting point is 01:06:30 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?
Starting point is 01:06:42 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.
Starting point is 01:06:51 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.
Starting point is 01:07:06 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.
Starting point is 01:07:23 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.
Starting point is 01:07:33 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.
Starting point is 01:07:59 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.
Starting point is 01:08:14 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
Starting point is 01:08:28 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,
Starting point is 01:08:45 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.
Starting point is 01:09:00 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,
Starting point is 01:09:13 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
Starting point is 01:09:28 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.
Starting point is 01:09:52 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,
Starting point is 01:10:13 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,
Starting point is 01:10:41 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
Starting point is 01:10:59 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?
Starting point is 01:11:15 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.
Starting point is 01:11:29 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
Starting point is 01:11:45 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,
Starting point is 01:12:01 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.
