Awkward like
Pointy things in the shoulders
Yeah
And I was like
What the F am I going to do
With these jerseys
Nick Minnick Boom Open drawer, nothing in there.
No, actually, I lie.
There wasn't nothing in there.
There was a pair of headphones in there.
So not only did I get a free drawer, I also got a free pair of headphones
that I already owned and forgot about.
Also, not a small drawer if you can fit that many jerseys in it.
That's a big thing you're missing out on.
I know.
Yeah.
I know, I know, I know.
Okay, so that's where the bar is set
Oh wow

You go back to something else
Mundane thing that happened to me this morning
That brought me joy
I ended up putting a new duvet cover on my bed
And it was just nice and clean
And I did the whole thing
Folded it

I'm going to leave my room
And it looks good Nice And you know what When I gonna leave my room and it looks good no and you know when I get home you
get home that's waiting for you boom yeah do you know do you know I watched a
really good article once like a video that said if you do one thing a day if
you only do one if you only achieve one thing yeah it should be make your bed
because it's the first thing you should do as soon as you get up because that
way even if you have a real shit day and you don't achieve anything else,
you've achieved one thing at the start of the day.
You've achieved something as you leave the house.
Even if your day's been crap, you come home, your bed's made.
I'm a big fan of making my bed every day.
Big fan of that.
Take it off.
Take it off.
It doesn't take much.
Yeah.
Good work.
Thanks, mate.
And are you still using that Finding Nemo duvet cover?
I am.
Thank you for giving me that.
That was a nice hand-me-down.
Thanks, bro.
It's to impress the girls.
And now, Ellie.
Well, I've really only got
the fact that I had a clean wipe this morning.
That's all I've got.
I'm sorry.
Now, by a clean wipe,
I assume you mean...
No, actually,
we know what you mean
You know what I mean right
God that brings me joy though am I right
To be fair you've nailed the segment
What causes a clean wipe
I think lots of good fibre
I did have some Metamucil yesterday

Sorry, derailed that one
No, no, no, you did not
No, you won
Oh, good
Yeah, you won
You get a prize
Yesterday's podcast, everybody, enjoy
Kia ora, everybody
And welcome to a very special edition of the Brie and Clint show
where we will have Brie Thomasel on the show for 35 minutes.
Yeah, I'm getting too expensive now so they can only afford me for that amount of time per day.
Brie's going to record. Will you let us know what you're doing?
Uh, no.
No?
No, no, no, no.
Brie's going to film something for TV.
Yeah, it's a secret.
It'll make sense tomorrow when it goes on.
You know, big people get it, all right?
Here's the thing, here's the thing.
She's a big-time TV celebrity now.
We're lucky to get her when we can,
but it's actually a good time.
Guys, producers, I actually need a day off next week.
So Bree's not going to be here for most of the show.
I need a day off next week
because I'm going to be on a TV show as well.
What TV show?
Embarrassing Bodies. Are show as well. What TV show?
Embarrassing Bodies.
Are you?
Yeah.
What have you got?
I've got lactating nipples.
Did you sort out the hemorrhoids?
Nah, I'll get that looked at too.
That's not that embarrassing.
That's very normal.
Hemorrhoids is very normal.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't have them.
And if you've got them, I think it's a bit gross.
But it's very normal. My uncle, my Uncle Tim, his belly button, we always as kids were like,
what's wrong with your belly button?
It looked like an outie, but like a severe outie belly button.
Right.
And one day he goes, don't touch me in the belly button.
It's a hernia.
Oh, get that looked at.
And it was a hernia in his belly button.
Oh.
It was the weirdest looking thing.
Hernias, again, very normal.
But you've got to get those looked at.
They can fix you up.
He had it for years.
And he's like, I can't pick that up, my hernia.
Was he one of those ones?
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
And then he'd drink so much beer he'd get bloated, so it would make it worse.
What, go out even further?
And then when he burped, he'd like, he was a guy that would wear no shoes and no top.
And he'd lean to the side and he'd just like kind of hit his stomach and he'd be like.
Hey, kid, pull my hernia.
God, Christmas at your place must have been wild.
He's a fancy man.
Between him and colouring your downstairs, Aunty Julie, things are wild.
Stop saying that.
Thomas Help Family Christmas.
Speaking of Christmas, I want something right now.
Okay, I want you right now, okay?
I want you to give me a call, give us a call on 0800-DIALS-IT-M
if you already have your Christmas decorations up, okay?
I don't mean your Christmas decorations are still up from last year.
Like, I don't want lazy people who never take them down.
I want people who have done the Christmas decorating for this year already.
There's actually a Christmas tree, or the lights have been done,
just off the highway somewhere in Auckland on the motorway.
Oh, yeah?
And so they've already put it up.
Where is it?
I don't know, somewhere on the way to the airport.
A bit light on details, are you, TV Bree?
No, no, Christmas people, 0800 dial ZM now.
Just as a little bit of an experiment,
I've got an article and it might be in your favour.
We're not going to make fun of you, okay?
We're not going to make fun of you.
Have you put up your Christmas decorations already?
Here's the Chainsmokers.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
Somebody defrost Michael Bublé because...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
What month are we in?
We are in September.
Just?
Just.
It is currently September the 10th.
Oh, no.
Okay, we're kind of into September.
Yeah, we're in there.
We're in there.
September, October, November, December.
But arguably still very early in the Christmas stakes, yes?
Way early.
Well, news out of the States where a psychoanalyst has revealed
that if you want to make yourself happier,
go and chuck your Christmas decorations up now.
Just do it.
Nothing wrong with it.
Go and chuck them up.
No, too early.
He said that if Christmas is the thing that gives you joy,
why not live in it a bit longer and why not just whack them up
and get the vibe going, you know?
It's nearly half the year. No going? It's nearly half the year.
No, September is not nearly half the year.
Oh, well, yeah.
September, October.
One third.
Yeah, okay, one third.
I was going to say three months.
But yeah, if you put them up this week, it's roughly a third of the year.
But again, what's the harm?
This is what I wanted to say this afternoon because most people go,
I don't want to hear about Christmas until December 22nd.
Some people, it's quite a stressful time for them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes for people, it's not the happiest time of the year.
Yeah, okay, I get that too, yeah.
So they don't want to think about Christmas for four months.
All right.
Because it's stressful.
I've got a name for these people.
What?
Premature Christmas decorators. Premature Christmas decorators.
Premature Christmas decorators.
Yeah, but if you are one,
this US psychoanalyst has said go for it.
Blow your Christmas,
do your Christmas decorating as soon as you want.
Yeah.
Because like you said,
those are all things to acknowledge.
But if it's just,
if you just find Christmas annoying,
then that's not a thing.
And if someone wants to put their decorations up, then let them
because it's going to make them happy.
Well, it is a thing.
I think there's a rule, and producers, I don't know if you'll be with me
on this, December 1st, you can put them up then.
That's not your rule.
That is the rule.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
Thought it was just my rule. Bree's got another rule. No presents is it? Yeah. Thought it was just
my rule. Bree's got another rule.
No presents until the 25th.
Also, don't go swimming after you
eat. That's a rule I've got.
And also, 10 seconds on the ground, still good
to eat.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
It is Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori
or Maori Language Week this week.
Yeah. Hey, happy Te Wiki o Te Reo Maoriori, or Māori Language Week this week. Yeah. Hey, happy Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, Bree.
Thank you.
Have a go.
Go on.
Te.

O Te.
O Te.
Of the.
Of the.
Te Reo.
Language.
Te Reo.
Māori.
Māori.
Māori.
Māori.
This is quite cool.
A bunch of places around Auckland and probably around the country
are offering you half-price coffee if you order your coffee
into Reo Māori this week.
I love that.
That's so cool.
So the idea of the week, as far as I know it, is to give it a go.
It's not to be an expert and it's not to, I guess,
shame people who don't have a good grasp of it or anything like that.
It's just about an excuse to give it a go.
Neither Bree or I speak te reo Māori.
So it's hard, right?
It's hard.
It's sometimes like anxiety-inducing just giving it a go.
Yeah.
I mean, especially for me because obviously I'm Australian.
And it's something that I just really want
to get right if I ever give it a go.
And obviously living here for the past year and a half,
it's something that, yeah, I've tried to, you know,
obviously do my best where I can.
You're actually using quite a bit of tequila on Celebrity Treasure Island.
Yeah, and I worked really hard to obviously,
my goal was to use a different word for each episode.
And I worked really hard.
I had a few lessons.
And I just wanted to get the basic words
that I was learning right.
Yeah.
We're going to give it a little bit of a go now.
And just be aware, we might get some of this wrong.
Okay?
Nope, probably going to.
But we're going to share this up to our Bree and Clint Instagram.
There's a picture that's going around
that shows you how you can order your coffee in Te Reo Māori.
So the first one is a short black, which is a pangopoto.
Say again?
Pangopoto.
Pangopoto.
There you go.
That's a short black.
Right.
Long black.
Pangoroa.
Pangoroa.
Roa. Roa. R-O-A. Roa. Right. Long black. Pango roa. Pango roa. Roa.
Roa. R-O-A. Roa.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure if you'd said that to the barista and he goes, I'm sorry, I didn't
quite catch it, you'd go, I was long black.
I think you'll still get it for half price.
Okay, cool. A flat white.
Morphi. Morphi.
I'm pretty sure we're
nailing this. I mean, feel free to let us know if we're not.
And if you're not having your coffee there, you need it.
Hei heri atu.
Hei heri atu.
There you go.
I mean, we might have got it completely wrong,
but you're giving it a go, right?
Yeah, giving it a go.
And that's the idea of the week.
If you want to learn it,
if it would make your coffee ordering experience a bit more fun,
we're going to share it up now to the Bree and Clint Instagram story
to celebrate Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.
What a cool idea.
And who doesn't want a half-priced coffee?
Who doesn't want a half-priced coffee?
And who doesn't want to speak another language as well?
Yeah.
Sexy.
Sexy.
Bree and Clint, the podcast.
ZM from iHeartRadio.
This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy.
Coming to us live from New York Fashion Week this week.
Dean, have you seen anybody famous yet?
Not really.
It's kind of been, no, I haven't seen many big celebrities.
I've seen a lot of like, oh, the Beverly Hills Housewives.
They were all here.
They all walked in Kyle's show,
but I haven't seen any big A-listers or anything like that. They're here.
They're sprinkled around in the darkness.
They're here.
Mincing around.
Mincing around, swanning around.
Mostly just influencers at Fashion Week these days, eh?
Yes.
A lot of people don't know this about you, Dean,
but you are actually showing your own fashion line there, right?
Yes.
So we had our runway show last night.
I have a clothing brand called Argyle Grant,
and it's like a men's resort brand.
So we had our runway show, and yeah, it was hot.
It was fabulous.
God, you've got hot models. Hot is a great's resort brand. So we had our runway show, and yeah, it was hot. It was fabulous. God, you've got hot models.
Hot is a great word for it.
If you want to see some men wearing not much,
check out Dean McCarthy's Instagram feed at the moment.
At Mr. Dean McCarthy.
And the wall.
And that's just me, let alone the models.
Right.
Dean, tell us about Post Malone and his doomsday bunker.
This is so crazy.
I wouldn't have believed this if I didn't see it myself.
He went and bought a $6 million house in Utah
and then built a bunker underneath the mansion for an apocalypse.
Now, we don't really know specifically what apocalypse he's expecting.
Is it a zombie apocalypse?
Is it a disease, like a plague or something?
Is it a weather?
Who knows?
It's a shortage of weed apocalypse.
Yeah, exactly.
That's the only supplies he has in the bunker is just all weed.
Yeah, definitely no soap.
This is interesting.
This is something that rich people are turning to at the moment,
and there's a lot apparently in the South Island,
like around the Queenstown, Wanaka Lakes area.
Bunkers. Bunkers.
Bunkers.
Is there?
Underground.
So you don't even know that they're there.
They make them, they dig the hole, they drop them into the ground,
and then they put soil over top, and there's a secret entry somewhere.
And all these rich people have got these doomsday things down there
for the end of the world.
They're all coming to New Zealand.
They're going underground.
Should we go try find one?
Well, I think if we did, it would defeat the purpose of the bunker.
Yeah, I mean, if we can find
it, then it's probably not going to do well in an apocalypse,
is it? Dean, any word on whether
you're getting an invite to Post Malone's
Doomsday Bunker yet?
Look, I'm so not prepared for anything like that.
I don't even have an earthquake
bag or preparation or anything. All my
friends have an earthquake backpack in case there's
an earthquake. I don't have anything. I'm just going to wing
it. I'm just going to wing it and wing it.
Usually they're the people that last.
The people who wing it.
Yep.
Yeah, right.
Dean's the sort of person who can blag his way into someone else's shelter.
Seriously, I'd let you into my shelter anytime, any day.
That is Dean McCarthy.
He's live from New York Fashion Week this week.
The latest is brought to you by Amplify Kombucha.
Taste amplified. ZM Spree this week, the latest is brought to you by Amplify Kombucha. Taste amplified.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Yesterday on the show, we did some science.
We conducted an experiment into whether a flake will melt in the microwave.
The results were conclusive.
It didn't.
After 60 seconds in the microwave, a Cadbury flake didn't even begin to melt,
did it, Producer Ali?
No, it didn't.
Which I already knew and nobody believed me,
but it blew your guys' minds, didn't it?
It did. It really did.
We got so much feedback on that, I thought, why stop there?
Why stop there?
Why not find out other things and whether they would melt
in the microwave?
You know?
You know, other lunchbox items.
I think that's what we stick with, lunchbox items.
Yep.
Today we have gone with a Kellogg's LCM bar.
Mmm.
Yum.
Real throwback, real throwback lunchbox item, right?
Yeah.
Hard out.
For those playing along at home, what flavour LCM have we gone with, Ellie?
We've got a Colitis, which is the old sprinkled chocolate on the top.
Okay.
So everyone knows that we're playing by the book.
Ellie has her safety goggles and high-vis vest on. I do. We have a standard Cambrook microwave in the top. Okay. So everyone knows that we're playing by the book. Ellie has her safety goggles
and high-vis vest on.
I do.
We have a standard
Cambrook microwave
in the studio.
We also have a fully charged
fire extinguisher
on standby.
60 seconds in the microwave.
I reckon you get that open
and you get it in there.
We are taking bets as well
on 9696.
Mandy is here
to give us a prediction.
We'll cross to her very shortly.
But any commentary on the condition of the LCM you need to give beforehand, Ellie?
I just want to eat it, to be honest.
Okay, well, you put that in the microwave quickly before you get too tempted.
Okay.
And close her up.
Okay.
And let's go, 60 seconds.
All right, it's on a minute.
Yeah, we're going.
We're on.
All right.
Mandy is here.
Hi, Mandy.
Hey.
What are your feelings?
How do you think this experiment today in Will It Melt is going to go?
Honestly, I think it's going to burn.
You know how popcorn burns if you overcook it?
Yeah.
I reckon that's what it's going to do.
But this has got all that sugary coating on it, and it's rice bubbles, so yeah, okay, yep.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It just makes sense, you know? I don't know. Well, that's why we've got the fire extinguisher. Can you put your safety goggles back down, please? Oh, sorry, yeah. I don't know. I don't know. It just makes sense, you know?
I don't know.
Well, that's why we've got the fire extinguisher.
Can you put your safety goggles back down, please?
Oh, sorry, yes.
She's lifted up the safety goggles.
They're quite hard to stay out of, which is quite a hazard.
Yeah, that's the safety part.
How long have we got to go?
We've got 20 seconds to go.
20 seconds remaining.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm kind of hoping it really does burn now.
I can smell it now.
What does it smell like?
It's starting to smell like burnt chocolate.
Yes! It is. If a fire starts, I need you to stop it. Oh, it's smoking, it's smoking.
Okay, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it.
Oh, yeah. Alright, would you like a drumroll?
No, no, no, close it up, close it up, close it up, close it up.
Oh, that's a very good point.
It is smoking.
Okay.
Okay, so, did it burn? Yeah, I think it burned. I think you might be right, Okay, so did it burn?
Yeah, I think it burned.
I think you might be right, Mandy.
I think it's burned.
Okay, we need to change the name of this segment.
We need to get the door open and we need to move on.
Bree and Clint, this is ZM.

ZM Spree and Clint. The podcast.
There's a story on the
property website oneroof.co.nz
this week about an 18 year old
who's just bought his own first
home. Okay, cool.
Now this story is interesting.
The kid's name is Jacob Cook-Tate,
and he has just purchased his first home by himself in Marserton.
Oh, wow.
And before you get jealous or angry, you have to say congratulations.
Okay, yep.
Congratulations.
That's awesome.
Now, the interesting thing about Jacob and his first home story
is he's not done it the traditional way
because they're saying, obviously the advice and the right advice,
I still stand by, stay in school, work hard, get a career and all of that.
He dropped out when he was 16.
Nice.
He decided school wasn't for him.
He dropped out when he was 16 and he worked at Hell Pizza.
Oh, good on him.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
That's awesome.
He worked 70-hour weeks, which I don't know if I could.
I know you could.
If you had a goal, you could do it.
Yeah, probably.
And now at 18 years old, he bought his own house.
And you might be going, oh, yeah, Masterton, I bet the houses are $50.
$400,000.
Wow, that's a lot of money.
400 grand on his first house.
For an 18-year-old.
So, is the advice.
Drop on his floor?
Is that what we're saying?
No.
No, we're not saying that.
No, we're not saying that at all.
We're not saying that at all.
But I mean, as someone who dropped out of university,
if the job, I don't know.
God, it makes it hard,
doesn't it?
It does.
I think if school isn't for you
and I definitely think
that school's not for everyone.
No, I agree with that.
Yeah, if you think
you could learn in a better way,
in a practical way,
like at Health Pizza,
then do it, you know?
That's what I think.
Okay, what about this?
Don't drop out of school,
but if you've got a better option,
then...
Yes, that's probably better advice.
Go hard.
Yes, yeah.
And you, like Jacob, could find yourself with your own house in Masterton.
There you go.
Wow.
Maybe that's the advice out of all of us.
Okay, we'll go with that.
That's so impressive.
That is.
To own your first home at 18 years old.
Yeah.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
Hey, Alexa, what time is it?
420!
Oh, 4.20.
Thank you, Alexa.
It's a very intense way to tell me.
That makes it the perfect time to roll into one of our favourite segments,
Buzzy G Facts.
Buzzy G.
This is where I set producer Ellie the task of finding some buzzy information, five pieces
of buzzy information on one specific topic.
I've been thinking nonstop about chocolate ever since yesterday when we microwaved that
flake bar and it didn't melt, which in itself was buzzy, right?
It was buzzy.
I was buzzed out.
You were buzzed out.
I was, yeah.
So you have got the task of five buzzy, right? It was buzzy. I was buzzed out. You were buzzed out. I was, yeah. So you have got the task of five Buzzy G chocolate facts.
I do.
And if you buzz us out, you will hear this.
Buzzy G.
So hit us with your best shot.
All right, your first one.
It's a pretty standard one, but did you know that white chocolate doesn't qualify as genuine chocolate because it doesn't contain cocoa powder?
No, I didn't.
Shouldn't call it chocolate then, should you?
No, they shouldn't.
They shouldn't, no.
Some people feel very strongly about that too.
Yeah.
White chocolate is not chocolate.
It is that time of the month and I do not want a Milky Bar.
Okay, what else you got?
All right, number two.
M&Ms were first introduced To the US In 1941
During World War II
To allow easy transport
And consumption
For the soldiers in the war
Really
Yeah so the
Military people
Were the only ones
That could get M&M's initially
Yeah
Because of the way
The hard shell
Would stop them from melting
While they were at war
The candy shell on the outside
Yeah
Whoa
I know
Buzzy G.
Because that was the tagline, eh?
Melt in your mouth, not in your hand.
Yes.
Yep.
Whoa.
Yep.
World War II, the soldiers were on the M&Ms.
Wow.
I don't know if that makes up for being forced to go to war,
but I mean, it's a good additive.
That and the free cigarettes.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
What else you got?
Did you know that for a human,
a lethal dose of chocolate is around 10 kgs.
That's a lethal amount of chocolate.
If you ate 10 kgs, you would die.
What would kill you, the sugar or the cacao?
So it's the theobromine,
a powerful stimulant of the central nervous system,
and you get poisoned.
And it can cause heart failure, seizures,
acute kidney damage and dehydration.
Chocolate poisoning.
As someone who watched Brie eat 1.2 kilos of steak last week,
I challenge you to 10 kilos of chocolate.
I just don't think you'll be doing it.
No.
Okay, cool.
All right, your fourth one.
This is one just to make us feel better about eating chocolate.
Eating dark chocolate every day reduces the risk of heart disease by one third
and recent studies support the fact
that chocolate is effective at fighting cavities,
plaque and tooth decay in the mouth.
That sounds like a report made up
by the Cadbury Foundation.
Oh, I'm here for it.
I'm here for it.
Chocolate.
Did you know nine out of ten dentists
recommend chocolate?
I like that fact.
No, I'm not giving you that one.
Okay, here's your fifth and final.
You can go for four out of five.
Okay.
Did you know that the inventor of Hershey's,
Milton Hershey,
was booked to travel on the Titanic
but cancelled at the last minute
due to business matters?
Had he already invented the chocolate
before he left?
One of his chocolates had been made in 1900
and the Titanic was in 1912, I believe.
Yes, it was.
Yeah, but there's a museum that still has a letter of him
writing to the White Star Line people saying,
sorry, I can't make it.
Wow.
It's all about him.
We might not have all those buzzy chocolates.
Buzzy G.
And there you go.
That's four out of five.
Not bad.
Okay, thank you.
I'll take it.
Not bad.
Buzzy G facts.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
We announced yesterday that next Friday we will be holding ZM's first ever pheromone party,
which in a nutshell is dating just based on what people smell like.
It's letting your nose date on your behalf, essentially.
What we'll do is we'll get people in the room and you'll need to come along to the party
having worn a t-shirt for a
number of nights with no deodorant and no like smellies nothing to mask your natural scent we
then bag it up without your name on it so that people will sniff it and they'll go I like the
smell of that person we're still starting to kind of working out all the technical details
but and we will have your chance to register to be at this party. It's a singles event is what it is,
so we're looking to make matches on the night.
Obviously, one of the key factors that will mean
you're able to participate in this competition,
in this dating experiment, is one, that you're single,
or at least you tell us that you're single,
and two, that you have a sense of smell.
Because if you don't have a sense of smell,
that is not going to bode well for a pheromone party.
You know, it's all about the nose of this party.
We're taking every other sense out of it.
We're taking what a person looks like.
We're taking what their voice sounds like,
if that's something that you're attracted to,
and we're just going off the nose.
So I thought this afternoon,
could we try and talk to some people who don't have that
sense? Is that the sense that you're missing, your sense of smell? Did you lose it? Were you born
without it? What's life like when you can't smell anything? I went to school with a girl who couldn't
smell anything. She lost it when she was a kid. and it affected a whole bunch of things
including her ability to taste anything
because she couldn't smell anything
she in turn lost her sense of taste
because the two things are so closely linked
but I don't know
what else does it do for you?
does it heighten your other senses?
does it mean that you've got like
spidey vision and hearing
or something like that?
I don't know
but if you have no sense of smell
give us a call on 0800DIALZM.
We'd love to talk to you
and just get a little bit of an insight
into what your life is like
before we launch our pheromone party.
God, you could have the stinkiest partner in your life
and you might not even know.
Get in touch, 0800DIALZM.
Brie and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
Our first ever pheromone party is in the works.
We're putting everything together at the moment,
but basically next week we're going to give you the opportunity,
if you're single and you have a sense of smell,
to come along and date somebody based on the way they smell.
That's the only criteria you will have to judge
on whether that person is a match for you.
Like I said, details coming very, very shortly
about how you can register to be at this party. But this afternoon, I thought we could get an insight into what
life is like without a sense of smell. Because obviously, if you can't smell anything, you
can't be part of a pheromone party, because that's the one sense that we need from you.
We've got a couple of people here who want to give us an insight. MJ. Hey, MJ.
Hey.
So you can't smell anything, is that right? Nope, nope.
On a very rare occasion, I can get a whiff of something,
and yeah, no, that's about it.
Were you born like that, or did you lose your sense of smell?
As far as I know, I was born like that.
I've got really, really bad sinuses.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, so it's just like I don't smell things. And then when I do smell it, I have to ask somebody,
what am I smelling, because I don't know what I'm smelling.
So, okay, what are some
things that you have smelled?
Is it like you could count them on one hand? Oh, well,
probably. Actually, about
when was it last? The beginning
of this year, I smelled
raw chicken for the first time.
Oh, gross.
I didn't know what the hell. I called
somebody over and said the stuff has gone rotten.
I don't know what's wrong with it. Of all the things that you could get a whiff of, like flowers, nice aftershave, you got raw chicken.
I got raw chicken.
I did, I think it was last week or this week, got a whiff of some daffodils for the first time.
Yeah.
And that was quite nice.
Yeah, beautiful.
Do you have a sense of taste?
I don't think I taste what I should taste.
Right, because I've heard that if you can't taste anything,
it's often easier to lose weight because you'll just,
you don't crave chocolate, that sort of thing, is it?
Oh, no, you know, I crave chocolate.
Right.
So chocolate, I do taste.
Yeah.
God, I would love to get you along to the pheromone party
and just chuck you in as a wild card, you know? Oh, no. Hey, I've worked on taste. Yeah. God, I would love to get you along to the pheromone party and just chuck you in as a wild card.
You know?
Oh, no.
Hey, I've worked on farms.
Yeah.
And I've landed up doing things nobody else wanted to do
because I couldn't smell what I was doing.
Hey, that's discrimination.
They can't do that to you, MJ.
That's just rude.
No.
I volunteered.
Nobody else would do it.
That's fascinating.
Okay, thank you for your call, MJ.
Really appreciate it. Taylor is here as well. Now, Taylor, your mum has no That's fascinating. Okay, thank you for your call, MJ. Really appreciate it.
Taylor is here as well.
Now, Taylor, your mum has no sense of smell.
Is that right?
Yeah, she lost it like maybe 15 years ago.
How'd she lose it?
So she actually had like cancer behind her nose
and then like the byproduct of getting rid of it was,
yeah, she lost all of her sense of smell.
Incredible.
I asked before, does it mean that you have like spidey senses for your other senses?
Does it mean that your hearing is really, really good
or you have super sight or something like that?
Is there any truth to that for your mum?
Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure it is because, like, she can, like, guess what, like, year a wine was made
and what type of wine it is just by having a sip.
Right.
So she doesn't even, like, it's like a game almost and, yeah, she can win it, like, every time.
So she's lost her smell and her taste has gone up?
Only for certain things.
Like, pretty much everything tastes like nothing.
Yeah. But she can, she can guess the year of a
glass of wine. I love that.
She's lost her sense of smell,
but she's got super wine taste.
I reckon she's full of it.
She's just like, I've survived nose
cancer, get me some wine, alright?
It is the least I deserve right now.
Interesting.
Oh no, I was going to ask, is mum single?
Does she want to come to the pheromone party?
But that is both inappropriate and not plausible
because like we said at the start,
you have to be able to smell, right, Taylor?
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, all right.
Would you come to a pheromone party?
Is that something you would do?
Yeah, no, not for me, sorry.
Why?
I'm married.
Oh, yeah, no, fair enough.
Yeah, yeah.
That'd be a bit weird eh
ZM's Bree and Clint
The podcast

How's your Instagram knowledge?
Are you on the gram quite a bit?
Oh, not really.
Just the ones that I follow.
Yeah, it doesn't really matter.
Just make it up and you'll be sweet.
Normally Bree and I would write our answers down,

All right.
All right, Producer Ellie,

I do.
All right, your first celebrity.
How many followers

Um, 175 million.
All right, 175 million.
Clint, you've put 163 million.
Ariana Grande has 163 million. Are you a weird put $163 million. Ariana Grande has $163 million.
Are you a weird Ariana Grande stalker,
Clint? You just put that bang on.
I get it exactly right.
Are you cheating? No.
Who's cheating? Can I call cheating?
You took so long, Rebecca, I was
about to call you out for cheating. No, I did think that too,
but no. No, alright, well, one point to me.
Bang on. Yeah, well done.
Rebecca, if I get another one bang on,
then you can definitely call me out
for cheating. Alright.
Okay, your next one. Aussie superstar
Kylie Minogue.
Oh, right. Okay, we talked about how much it costs
to get a meet and greet with her yesterday. We did.
We did. How many Instagram followers?

And Clint, you've put $2.3 million.
Kylie Minogue has $1.9 million.
So yes, he does have that.
Didn't cheat though.
No, you didn't cheat.
I just didn't think she was that popular anymore.
Kylie, you've got to remember she's an absolute icon, though.
Like, if you love Kylie, you're definitely still checking the gram.
Yeah, no, I'm not, though.
No, fair enough.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
Okay.
I would love to know who you follow on Instagram, Rebecca.
Oh, you know, just a guy called Clint Roberts and Brie Thomasel.
Nice.
That Brie Thomasel guy is top notch.

You need this point to stay in the game, okay, Rebecca?
All right.
Okay, let's go with Ed Sheeran.

You're in the game.
All right, let's go.
Roll them out, roll them out.
What do you got?
All right, Kiwi icon, KJ Arpa.
How many followers does he have?
Riverdale star, Shortland Street star.
Oh, should I follow him too?
Oh, yeah, girl.
I'll bet you follow KJ Arpa.
Maybe 1.7 million.
1.7 million.
Okay.
And Clint, you put 7 million for KJ Arpa.
Guys, KJ Arpa has $16.1 million.
So that's the game to Clint.
Yeah, that's it.
Has he got $16 million?
Yes.
How impressive is that?
Is he bigger than Lorde?
Do we know?
Ooh, I'll quickly have a look.
On the ground.
Good work, Rebecca.
We're going to find you a prize just for playing.
That was fun.
Thank you so much.
Did I play as bad as Bree?
She is actually weirdly competitive in this game.
It's the one second song challenge that she's lost 27 games in a row,
not an exaggeration.
Yeah.
No, I can understand that.
Okay.
Quick Lord update.
6.3 million.
KJ Upper 16.1 million.
KJ Upper's bigger.
Lord's not uploading anything.
No, that's true.
That's true.
Pick up your game, Lord.
Bree and Clint, ZM.
Bree and Clint, the podcast, ZM.
The Shawshank Redemption,
I think arguably one of the greatest movies of all time,
has turning 25 years old.
It's been out for 25 years.
That means when this happens,
a lot of new facts come out.
And I found out about Shawshank Redemption this week
that Tim Robbins, who played Andy Dufresne in the movie, the other
main character alongside Morgan Freeman, he wasn't the first choice. They wanted Tom Hanks
or Kevin Costner to play that character in the Shawshank Redemption. Also, Stephen King,
who wrote the book, sold the rights to the movie for $5,000 and then never cashed the
check. He never cashed it in, which I don't know if he's done it out of spite,
like he sold it way too cheap
and ended up being one of the greatest movies of all time.
I don't know, but I find that stuff fascinating.
I also find people's opinions
on what makes a good movie fascinating as well
because it's so unique and it's so specific to you.
And that's why I've got Georgia here from the ZM Day Show.
Hi, Georgia.
Hello, hello.
Yesterday I heard you say something on air
and I had to go into your studio and go,
wait, did you just say that out loud?
Yes.
You recommended that people watch a movie
which is currently on Netflix.
I know.
And I can't believe the moment I recommended it,
I sort of nearly backed down when you were like, really?
I was like, actually, no, it's good.
You stand by this opinion, don't you?
I do.
So the movie that you think is great
and that you are actually recommending people go
and use their broadband to watch is?
Suicide Squad.
What's wrong with you?
Okay, I've had this debate with so many people.
Margot Robbie's in it.
Jared Leto's in it.
The soundtrack, I know I'm very, like,
kind of debatably big part of the movie.
Suck of a Pain's a good song.
And just the action. It's all go.
Okay. Margot Robbie's
depiction of that character
was, like, universally panned, wasn't it?
They say they made her too sexy, that character.
This is what I know about it. And Jared
Leto's Joker is rubbish. No, he's
pretty good. He's creepy. No!
I've seen the trailer for the new Joker, and I'm like, where's Jared Leto's Joker is rubbish. No, he's pretty good. He's creepy. No, no, no, no.
I've seen the trailer for the new Joker and I'm like, where's Jared Leto?
No, where's Heath Ledger?
Okay.
Oh, yeah, I know.
Yeah, agreed.
Yeah.
Jared Leto's Joker.
Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway.
We're going to get into a different argument if this keeps going.
It's an unpopular movie opinion.
And then we got on to, I said, that's a bad movie. And you go, nah, you know what's a unpopular movie opinion. And then we got on to just this. I said, that's a bad movie.
And you go, nah, you know what's a bad action movie?
Mad Max Fury Road.
I left that movie after 20 minutes.
My partner and I looked at each other.
We're like, absolutely not.
This is awful.
They're literally just driving down a desert road,
some blood banky thing.
I don't know what's going on there.
And then they drive back.
Mad Max was fantastic.
The only good part about that was the cool chicks that were in the truck
Ben, how many Oscars did Mad Max win?
I think it won six or seven Oscars
It did not deserve any
What do you mean it didn't deserve any?
That movie, I could easily go the rest of my life
I could go the rest of my life without watching that movie
Well, you can
You're welcome to,
especially because you'll spend so much time watching Suicide Squad.
I'm going to put it on repeat in the studio tomorrow.
Like Georgia, are you a brave person
who wants to share with us this afternoon an unpopular movie opinion?
Like, do you love a movie that everybody hated?
Or do you hate a movie that everybody loved?
Georgia has both.
I can keep going with more if you want more.
Maybe everyone tells you you have awful taste.
Maybe nobody wants to do a movie night with you.
Maybe that's it.
Or maybe you think you've got fantastic taste.
Movies that we all know,
do you think that a movie that everybody likes is rubbish?
Or vice versa?
Do you have an unpopular movie opinion
that you want to share with us this afternoon?
If you do, we're going to let you do it on the radio.
You can call us right now on 0800-ZM
or you can text it to 9696.
Bree's not here and she would love this conversation,
but Georgia from the ZM Day Show busted out
that Suicide Squad is a great movie.
And you know what?
I've actually just Googled it
and it's only got a 6 out of 10 for IMDb.
6 out of 10?
Yeah.
Is that low or is that like pretty average?
It's really middling.
Yeah, but like not...
It was worse than that.
It absolutely would have been higher in my books than that,
to be fair.
I just think it...
Anyway, it's your unpopular movie opinion.
That's your one.
And we've asked you to call 30800dials.com this afternoon
if you've got an unpopular movie opinion. That's your one. And we've asked you to call 30800Diles.com this afternoon if you've got an unpopular movie opinion.
Maybe you are really, really pushing stuff uphill with this.
Jordan's here.
Hi, Jordan.
Hi, mate.
How are you?
Yeah, good.
Hit us with it.
What's your unpopular movie opinion?
Napoleon Dynamite, right?
Yeah.
What about it?
Amazing.
Oh.
That's a good movie.
That's not an unpopular opinion.
That's quite a popular opinion.
I thought you'd come and call through and say Napoleon Dynamite sucks.
No, Napoleon Dynamite is great, but a lot of people,
and most everyone that I talk to hate it and they don't understand it.
Oh, no, you need new friends.
That's a great movie.
Thanks, Jordan.
Fleur's here.
Hi, Fleur.
Hi, guys.
Hit us with your unpopular movie opinion.
I hate Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.
It's boring.
All of them.
Yeah, all of them.
I'd rather watch paint dry.
You don't like Harry Potter?
No.
How old are you?
Oh, I can't say that.
It doesn't matter.
It actually doesn't matter.
I'm not going to speak on producer of our biggest pothead on the show.
Producer Ellie, how does that make you feel?
Oh, it makes me feel things.
I'm pretty frustrated and angry.
Have you given it a chance, Fleur?
Have you understood it all?
No, I watched it for about 10 minutes.
That was enough.
Oh, see, there you go.
Fleur knows what she likes.
Love it.
Lord of the Rings, how do you feel about the fact
that your taxpayer dollars helped make that movie?
Oh, marvellous, but I still don't like it.
Thanks, Fleur.
Unpopular movie opinions.
Brittany's here.
Hi, Brittany.
Hi.
What's yours?
I don't like the movie Titanic.
Oh, no.
What about it?
It's too long and the death scenes. Can they just, like, kill him already, like, halfway through the movie Titanic. Oh no. What about it? It's too long
and the death scenes,
can they just like
kill him already
like halfway through the movie?
Like the painting
seems like greedy enough
but like taking Jack
to go and like
end his death slowly
in front of Rose,
like come on.
Okay, alright.
Well I guess
when you already know
how a movie finishes,
it's hard to sit through the rest of it.
It's kind of obvious, though.
You can just already see that he's going to die eventually anyway.
I, to be fair, thought Rose would have died first.
Spoiler.
Brittany's like, duh, the boat's going to sink.
We already know.
Stop trying to save it.
It's like an iceberg going down.
You've absolutely nailed the topic, Brittany.
Thank you.
We'll go to Kyla as well.
Hi, Kyla.
Hi.
Have you got a popular movie opinion?
Yeah, I don't like Lion King.
You don't like Lion King?
Wait, original or new Lion King?
I haven't seen the new one, but I have no interest in it.
What about it don't you like?
I don't know
it's just boring
I just
can't do it
and I'm a 90s kid
What about the songs?
Oh yeah
I love the soundtrack
just not the movie
Right, okay
Timon and Pumbaa
No, we asked for
unpopular opinions
and she's given us one
True, fear
Too many lions
right, Kyla?
Yeah, totally
Look, I told you
people get worked up.
That's why they call them
unpopular opinions, okay?
If everyone was calling through
and they were just going,
Dirty Dancing's quite nice.
That's not a radio segment.
It's not going to get you
worked up, is it?
Nah.
Okay.
I feel good now.
No one's challenged you
really on Mad Max, though,
which I find very bizarre.
Mad Max is a good movie.
Mad Max is a good movie. Mad Max is a good movie.
It's not.
Brie and Clint, the podcast.
ZM.
It's my birthday.
It's my birthday.
Brie and Clint's birthday banger.
Every day about this time we get you to call up,
you give us your birthday,
and then we will tell you what the number one song was on your 16th.
Usually Brie does the calculations.
She's not here today, so Ellie's going to do the math, okay?
I am.
Let's go and talk to Alexis.
Hi, Alexis.
Hi.
How are you?
Good.
Okay, what's your birthday?
It's my dad and his birthday is 10th of August, 1978.
Okay, Alexis, your dad was 16 on the 10th of August, 1994.
And on that day, this was number one.
Do you like this, Alexis?
Yeah.
Yeah, nice song, eh?
Yeah.
Okay, wait there.
All these kids who are playing on behalf of their parents, super cute.
Yeah.
There's no way they know what any of the songs are.
No way.
Let's talk to Tricia.
Hey, Tricia.
Hello.
Now, are you playing for yourself or on behalf of your parents?
No, just me, unfortunately.
Oh, that's wonderful.
What's your birthday?
10th of December, 1993.
Okay, Tricia, you were 16 on the 10th of December
2009, and on that day
this topped the charts.
Vintage Lady Gaga
bad romance.
Can't go wrong. Can't go wrong, right?
What a killer. Now, I know if Brie
was here, that would be an absolute shoo-in as far as she's concerned.
Yep.
Oh, well, Bree's twist, I'm sure.
Well, she's not here, which is what might make it a little bit interesting.
But wait there, Tricia.
We've got one more to go.
Hey, Gordon.
Yep, I'm here.
Hey, mate.
What's your birthday?
28th of May, 1982.
Okay, Gordon, you were 16 on the 28th of May, 1998.
And on that day, this was number one. Okay, Gordon, you were 16 on the 28th of May, 1998, and on that day, this was number one.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, Gordon.
This is next and too close.
These guys actually played Friday Jams last year.
They did.
Which is buzzy because you don't think of them
like ever actually seeing them.
Yeah.
Do you like this, Gordon?
Does it bring back good memories from being 16?
Yeah, a few bouncy cuddles and what's wrong?
A few bouncy cuddles?
I don't care.
I don't care what anybody says.
On the back of that comment,
you win birthday banger, okay?
Congratulations.
Now go and do your thing.
Bouncy cuddles.
This is Birthday Banger.
This is Too Close from Next.
Bree and Clint, 5.30, ZM.
All right.
Come on.
Don't stop now.
You done did it.
Come on.
Yeah.
All right.
Hold on.
Baby, no we're crying
I get so excited
Don't know how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancing real close
Plus it's real, real slow
You know what you're doing, don't you?
You're making it hard for me
All the songs on your request

We do have a bit of aviation news this afternoon.
As the leading show in New Zealand for aviation and maritime-based news,
it's our job to bring you all aviation news that comes to the show.
Now, this one, like I said, concerns the Prime Minister,
a plane, and a very, very Kiwi situation.
There is a tweet that has gone viral in which the Prime Minister is shown sitting in someone else's seat.
Jacinda Ardern um somehow
went to the airport without a ticket uh and she was put on a standby flight now a standby flight
is where they go sorry plane's full but if someone pulls out you can have their seat
someone did pull out and they said well prime minister of new zealand jacinda ardern i guess
we can squeeze you onto the flight why is she she on standby? Why is she on standby? Why is that happening?
She's the Prime Minister of the country.
We'll address that in a second.
She then gets a seat.
I believe it's a middle seat.
And the people either side of her were friends with the person who missed the flight.
Right.
So it was meant to be their friend in that seat and she missed it.
No one's fault.
I think she had too much fun at Hugh Jackman
and just didn't make the flight back to Wellington.
They've drummed up the courage to say,
excuse me, Prime Minister of New Zealand,
the Right Honourable Jacinda Ardern,
do you think we could have a video?
And because, again, it's New Zealand,
she's gone, yeah, sure.
Of course you can.
Of course you can.
And this is the message she gave them.
Hey Freya, this is Jacinda.
Oh, and look, I've got a special guest here.
Little Niamh saying hi as well. Sounds like your mum's been away seeing Hugh Jackman. gave them hey freya this is jacinda um oh and look i've got a special guest here little neve
saying hi as well sounds like your mom's been away thank you jackman i hope she got your present
hopefully i'll see you again sometime soon bye and and no tattoos not till you're older you
might change your mind so okay we forgot to mention the prime minister showed up with her
baby to the airport yeah and they put her on standby this doesn't happen no donald trump showed up to the airport and said uh he wanted to. This doesn't happen. No. If Donald Trump showed up
to the airport
and said he wanted to go,
they'd clear the plane.
Yeah.
So there's a few things to address.
Why does the Prime Minister
go on standby?
Yep.
Like, I'm not keen
to get kicked off a flight,
but if they said,
sorry, sir,
we've got to remove you
for the Prime Minister.
Fine.
I think I'd be okay.
Prime Minister and her baby?
Even better.
Even finer.
Next question.
Why does now Prime Minister
have a plane?
Trump's got a plane.
Yeah.
I think the Australian guy, I think if he wants a plane, there's a military plane.
Well, I thought quite a few people flew with Jacinda.
She'd have some security.
That's the other bit, right?
Why is she flying on her own?
What's she up to?
What is she up to?
I actually don't.
Has she gone rogue?
Has she just gone, she's snuck out of the house and she's like, me and Niamh, we're going
on a holiday.
Off to Nelson for the weekend.
No security for us.
Yeah.
We're just going to go.
It's very New Zealand.
It's very New Zealand, which, I mean, this is why we love this country.
Yeah.
But at the same time, sort your shit out, New Zealand.
Come on.
She's just a goddamn prime minister.
That's your aviation news.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
You came to me with, you kind of are our source for buzzy information on this show.
I kind of am, aren't I?
Yeah.
You lead a rather buzzy existence.
This one concerns your social media and future generations.
Yeah.
So the National Library of New Zealand, they do a lot of research about population
and all that kind of stuff.
They are wanting people to volunteer
their social media profiles,
so their Facebooks,
which will become a pool of like a research party
where in 125 years or however many years time,
they will use those Facebook profiles
to study how humans behaved in 2019.
What do they want from me?
So you can actually choose how much you divulge or how much you give.
So you can give them messages, you can give them photos,
you can give them your timeline, you can give them everything if you wanted to.
But you can give them selected stuff.
So you can do posts on your wall, what you liked, all that kind of stuff.
Memes, because I guess memes are going to become a part of history of history now like we were looking at when we're at school we did history and it was
like you know newspaper excerpts and stuff that we look at now we're probably going to be looking
at memes so some kid in 100 years will be sitting in a space classroom yeah looking at the memes
that we posted yeah because that's not going to go well i look at some memes that we thought were
crack up like five years ago yeah and it's some real normie shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
It's like, oh man, that is some basic meme stuff.
And that's five years.
Imagine a hundred years.
In a hundred years, I reckon we're going to look very basic.
I think we're going to look so stupid.
You look at some of the stuff that we do now only because of social media.
Status updates.
Yep.
Like no other generation in history has ever gone out to a public forum
To say how we feel
Or what we want for dinner
Selfies have never been a thing
No one in the history of mankind
Has bought a camera
And pointed it at themselves
For a whole roll of film
And we only do this because of social media
No one's taking selfies
To keep on their own phone.
No.
That's the thing too.
Totally.
You're only taking them to release them.
Totally.
All of this stuff.
So I hope some people do volunteer.
Same.
But it's not going to be me.
No, it's definitely not going to be me.
But if you are interested, they're accepting donations, the National Library of New Zealand,
until the end of this year.
Is it a donation? Yeah, I guess you donate it. Yeah. You're not going to the National Library of New Zealand until the end of this year. Is it a donation?
Yeah, I guess you donate it.
You're not getting anything out of it? No, I don't think so. I guess
if you have a public
social media, this is
the ultimate, right? Like kids
actually studying it,
that's followers, right?
Does that still count as followers? Yeah, maybe.
We'll go with it. Some people will be in.
ZM Spree and Clint, the podcast.
Now, just a bit of warning.
This topic might not be sensitive, might not be suitable for younger ears.
So I'll just give you a little second.
Because the topic is dick pics.
Right, nice.
So, Producer Ellie
Yes
Have you ever received one?
I have
Solicited or unsolicited?
Unsolicited
Actually both
Both
But both are kind of a bit weird
Oh, who'd you solicit it from?
Someone maybe once
Hey, send me one of those
Right, right, right, right, right
Even I've had one pop up on Snapchat
One or two
Oh no
And they're very confronting when they come through.
So it's the unsolicited ones that I think are the issue.
There is an account, it's actually a Twitter account,
and they're asking for them.
They're saying, hey, if you want, send us your DPs
because we want them.
The account is called ShowYoDIQ.
And they are looking to get as many as they can for actually for a good reason.
Oh, okay.
So the reason that ShowYoDIQ exists is because they're trying to build AI, artificial intelligence,
that can tell if that's what the picture is.
And it can intercept it and go,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Before you open this, there's a 75% chance, 90% chance,
100% chance that what you're about to see is a DP.
That is interesting.
And that way, if you don't want to receive it,
you can deny the message, I guess,
or if it's a Snapchat, you can choose not to open it.
That's good. But to build the technology,
the computer has to be exposed to a wide range.
Right.
Because they all look different, right?
I suppose they do, yeah.
So it needs to –
That's so weird.
The computer needs to see as many as possible so that it knows what it's looking for.
So, yeah, this is what we're doing with our technology in 2019.
Arguably a good thing.
I think so.
Unless it's all a big ruse.
Yeah.
Unless the person who set up ShowYoDIQ is just going to release all these dodgy dudes' notes.
In which case, if they do, it serves you right.
Yeah.
Who's sharing a DP on Twitter?
Oh.
Oh, my goodness.
I honestly can't open a Snapchat from a stranger without worrying.
Yeah, neither.
Especially if it's got a dude's name.
Yeah.
