Okay, okay, podcast.
Hello everybody and welcome to the Bree and Clint podcast.
G'day fam.
Does anyone have anything they want to discuss?
I'm not bringing anything up.
Oh, why?
Because you said that I only talk about things that are in the podcast group.
So I'm not going to say anything today.
Okay, that's fair enough.
Anyone else got anything personal?
No, it's you
You need to share something personal
Not from the podcast group
Well, you could have given me a bit of warning
There is no warning, okay?
Now you know why I just
Now you know why I just talk about things from the podcast group
Because there is no warning
God
This is a go, go, go industry
You could have told me 10 minutes
Could have come up with something brilliant
Someone share something deeply personal
And possibly incriminating Go on Whoa Go on Anyone? 10 minutes could have come up with something brilliant. Someone share something deeply personal and possibly
incriminating. Go on.
Go on. Anyone?
No.
No, we don't have anything. Okay, we'll do this instead. I got
sent this package today from
Minnie, the car people.
But you're an Audi man. Oh no, I don't think
they've copped onto it.
I love those Minnies though.
Oh, here we go.
Clint's trying to get a mini now.
This is not me trying to get.
Yes, it is.
Come on.
How cool are the electric ones?
Oh, listen to him.
Hold this.
No, I'm not doing it.
You do it.
No, I know what it is.
Oh, okay.
Ben.
I can't do it to Ben.
Anastasia, can you come here?
No, it's an electric shock.
Yes, but can you please do it anyway?
It looks like a real key.
I know. So that's for the new
electric Mini.
I mean, I love
Minis. You're a Mitsubishi
girl. No, I'm an anything
girl. I'm anyone's.
If it's free, I'll take it.
I can be anyone's.
I don't think they're going to give anyone a free
Mini.
I'll take a free mini for a couple of weeks.
So what I'm holding is a mini key.
And I was like, oh my God, they're giving me the keys to a mini.
That doesn't look like a miniature key.
And the piece of paper that it's attached to says,
is this the most shocking press drop you'll receive this week?
I was like, oh, that's so funny. And then I pushed it. So I want someone to push it. Match2 says, is this the most shocking press drop you'll receive this week?
I was like, oh, that's so funny.
Then I pushed it.
So I want someone to push it.
I've already pushed it.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Ben. No, he can't do it.
Oh, he can't do it.
Yeah, I've got a bad heart too.
Pussy.
Fuck off.
Whoa.
Someone do it.
You do it.
Can you do it to yourself?
How bad is it?
How bad is it How bad is it
Yeah how bad is it
It's shocking
Yeah nice
You need to put your finger on there
And then push that button
So wait
Did you
Oh I just
Oh this sucks
Well you should have had something to talk about
Okay
Well you could have given me warning
Here we go
Here we go
Three
Two

Three
If you do it You might get Anastasia can post the video and you might get a free mini.
Oh, yeah, true.
Oh.
Yeah, so say I love.
I love minis.
Yeah.
Three, two.
Ah!
Oh, that sounded bad, didn't it?
That's what, yeah, that's.
Holy shit.
So imagine, imagine me who wasn't expecting a shock at all, standing in an office full
of people,
screaming just like that.
That's going to make a great sound effect, though.
I feel like I kind of had half an orgasm.
Now are you keen, Anastasia?
No.
I'm not even joking.
Come and try it.
Now Ben's like, man, I wish I could push that key.
Ben's out of his seat.
He's like, give me that key. I out of his seat He's like Give me that key
I'll take it home
Good bye to me
Oh god
That sounded painful
How do we
How do we trick people
Into using that
Because the problem is
You've got to put your finger
On the shock pad
I reckon you go
Yeah
Go tell someone
To get something out of your car
Naturally
You do kind of
Put your finger there
I should put it on my key ring
And I'd be like
Yes
Can you get something From my Yeah Just a wee comment Oh my god Do kind of put your finger there. I should put it on my key ring, eh? And I'd be like, hey, can you unlock my car for me?
Can you get something from my, yeah.
Yeah.
Just a wee comment.
Oh, my God, that sucked so bad.
Look, I get that they're trying to grab your attention with the electric shock,
but, like, wouldn't you prefer getting something that's pleasant?
Yeah, oh, they also included a cupcake.
Oh, okay.
Did they say, oh, why don't you get shocked and then you get a cupcake?
Yeah. Yeah, can I have the cupcake now? Yeah, you can have the cupcake. Oh, okay. Did they say, oh, you get shocked and then you get a cupcake? Yeah.
Yeah, can I have the cupcake now?
Yeah, you can have the cupcake.
Yeah, nice.
Today,
and this is going to sound real,
like, real wanky,
but today has been
the best food delivery day
we've had.
God, yeah.
The Ben and Jerry's
We got to see the Ben and Jerry's
make your own
ice cream pizza.
Yum.
And the base of the pizza
was a cookie,
a giant cookie. And then on top of the pizza was A cookie, a giant cookie
And then on top of it we put
Melted caramel
Melted chocolate
Chocolate pretzels
Oreo chunks, cookie dough
Brownies
Chocolate brownies
Peanuts
It was epic
And prawns
I like the prawns.
It's a weird choice, but we liked it.
No, it was so good. That didn't have the effect I was hoping.
Ben's allergic to prawns, and I wanted him to go, what?
Oh, I've got something to talk about.
You know about that.
I've got something to talk about.
So tonight, me, my partner, Ben, and his partner,
we're going to dinner because we organised it weeks ago for the,
what was it, the Auckland?
Well, neither of us organised it.
No, well, we just.
Oh, you, Ben?
Yes.
Yeah, that Ben.
I thought your flatmate Ben.
No, that Ben.
Anyway, so the other day in the group message.
I've got a partner.
Why wasn't I invited to dinner?
You've got a baby as well.
I know, but I still like to be invited.
That's right.
Sorry, we need to keep inviting him, even though he'll say no.
Again, neither of us organised it.
Yeah, to be honest, it wasn't an us thing.
Why do your partners hate my partner?
That's a great question.
I don't think they've met.
I know, and you know where they could have met?
At dinner.
Anyway, Ben's partner in this group chat was like,
oh, because it's where they just bring you stuff out?
It's a seven-course.
Degustation. Seven-course degustation, they just bring you stuff out. It's a seven course degustation.
They just bring you stuff out.
Dream.
And Ben's partner was like,
should I message them and tell them
that Ben has a crustacean
allergy? 100% yes.
And then I was really, to be honest,
I'm really pissed off. Because then that
changes our whole bloody meal.
You're such an inconvenience.
We're just going to give you the vegan meal.
Which will upset Ben as well.
Yeah, see, I said let's
just order Ben Domino's
to come to the
restaurant and then we will get to eat the
full menu.
My dad is
not allergic to anything but he's a flavour-phobe.
I don't know if you've ever met those people.
But we will go to
I'll organise
Doesn't he hate sauce?
He hates sauce
What is wrong with him?
Yeah
That's the best part
But I'll go
Let's catch up with my parents
Let's go to a nice cafe
It's my shout
Yeah
And he will show up with Subway
Oh that's nice
Or he will show up with McDonald's
And I love Subway
Don't get me wrong
But it's like
You don't go to a cafe
With food
Can't he just order
Bacon and eggs
Worse than that
He will bring his own food
When we invite him over
For dinner
Because
No he won't
Yes he will
Because in his eyes
My wife and I are fancy
And he's terrified
Of what we might cook
Unless he's like
I've just made a lasagna
And he's like
Oh no no no
Thank you
There's sauce in that.
And he will go to Burger King and get
three cheeseburgers. You know who was like
that, who's going to grow up to be like that?
We all know him.
Ellen.
Big, gay, gorgeous Ellen. Because
every time we go away, like last
weekend we went to Ha-Hei,
and Ellen was there, and every
meal he'll be like, don't eat that. I don't eat that. And we have to make something else for was there and every meal he'll be like don't eat that i don't
eat that and we have to make something else for him how do people like that travel yeah like if
they went to southeast asia or two it would be hard that's why you've got like when you go to
like thailand for example there's just heaps of like pizza restaurants and stuff like it's like
they they do cater for that in tourist spots they know It's overrun by flavour phobic white people
That is the sad reality of tourism
Ben just raised his hand
Ben's happy if you give him meat
And potato
They'll have that there tonight
They'll have stuff like that
What's the restaurant you're going to?
What is the restaurant?
We literally
Our partners organise the whole thing
Kessa Amor
Kessa Publica?
No no no
It's in the Bidas.
Casia.
Casia.
That's really good, apparently.
That's an award-winning restaurant.
Yeah, you can tell that Ben and I didn't organise it.
It's Indian, isn't it?
I had to wear a shirt.
Yes, it is.
Casia's Indian.
I'm going to have to go home and get changed.
I'm by that sit at the French cafe guy, right?
You're so culted.
I love you, Anastasia.
No, what did you say? I was sorry. Metro Top 50. Yeah. Yeah. It's on by that sit at the French cafe guy, right? You're so culted. I love you, Anastasia. No, what did you say?
Metro Top 50.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's on the list.
It's one restaurant of the year before.
Yeah.
Anyway.
I'll just give you one warning about degustation.
And it might be different if it's an Indian menu-based degustation.
The courses can be disappointingly small.
Oh, no, I've found that.
I've been to fancy places before, and each course is like a taster.
And you're like, when's the frickin' main?
What was that restaurant you went to?
Actually, don't name it.
But you went and had a degustation with your wife,
and you said you had to go to McDonald's on the way home.
I won't name it.
Don't name it.
It's in Wellington, and it's the fancy restaurant in Wellington.
And I'd always dreamed of going there.
And I'm like, I'm going to take Lucy there because I want to impress
her and it's a nice meal and this is our
special occasion we spent no shit
we spent $350 on dinner
and I had to go to Macca's on
the way home but I knew I was going to marry
Lucy afterwards because as we left she
said to me she turned to me and she goes
you need to go to McDonald's don't you? Did she get
something? I think she might have it
she probably would have. She had a cheeseburger
and I was like thank you for Did she get something? I think she might have. She probably would have.
Yeah.
And I was like, thank you.
Thank you for not making me pretend that I was fancy enough to have just been satisfied by that.
Don't you feel like defeated?
You're like, well, I did not fit in there at all.
I kind of took a learning from it and you kind of figure out who you are.
And I'm okay with that. i love going to a really fancy restaurant
like once in a blue moon yeah and realizing that i'm like just not in my that's going to be ben
tonight and it will be me oh actually to be honest i'm like i do love good food i've got jeans but
t-shirt and i might wear something else you wore a t-shirt to the radio awards i did you did there
i just want to mention this one degustation I had.
It was the biggest one
I've ever had.
It was 12 courses.
I thought it had to be 10
for being called that.
No, it can be anything.
No, anything.
Just a lot.
That's a degustation.
Double decker.
It was a degustation
of 12 courses
and every course
came with a different type
of glass of alcohol.
Oh, keen. Oh, wow. Full glass? glass of alcohol. Oh, keen.
Oh, wow.
Full glass?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it was like half.
Yeah.
Actually, you can't have ten full glasses.
No, well, to be honest, I was absolutely blind by the end of it.
Those are the ones where they just start serving you chips for the last three courses?
Yeah.
And you don't remember, but at the same time you're like, oh, fuck, I love the last three courses.
I was so full and also so drunk.
It was not a good combination, I'll tell you.
It was not good.
Right, this is one of the more bougie podcast intros we've done.
See?
We've talked about European vehicles.
We've talked about fine dining degustation.
Anybody want to bring the tone down before we wrap this baby up?
Farts, poo.
Okay, no, that's fine.
We'll leave on that.
No, what were you going to say?
No, it was food related.
What was it?
I just got a text from my flatmate saying, finally, KFC's on Uber Eats.
Oh, there you go.
So I brought it down.
There you go.
That's not a good thing because we realised how cheap KFC delivery is the other day.
Oh, yeah.
KFC delivery.
Because it's $3 to get KFC delivery.
$2.
No, it's $4 on Uber Eats. No, yeah. Cash and delivery. Because it's $3 to get KFC delivery. Yeah, it was $2.
Yeah, it was $4 on her breaks.
No, that's bad news.
I am probably, you and I, Ben, can order that after our degustation tonight.
Yeah, more money will go back to KFC if you order with KFC delivery.
Did you see that?
Hashtag support the Colonel.
Was it a rugby league player or a rugby union player?
Anyway, one or the other. And he had a really bad jaw injury.
And it was a story that was in the news today.
And he missed KFC and was craving KFC so much.
I'm pretty sure he blended it up.
Did you see that?
It was on the Herald.
Good on him.
When I had my wisdom teeth removed.
Oh, no.
No, I didn't do quite that.
Kiwi and Raiders star.
Tried to blend KFC. Tried to do it. Okay, so he didn't do it. Play Kiwi and Raiders star. Tried to blend KFC.
Tried to do it.
Okay, so we didn't do it.
Played for the Canberra Raiders.
No, when I had wisdom teeth off, I lived off KFC potato and gravy.
Oh, yeah, that's good to eat when you've had your wisdom teeth out.
Just can't chew anything.
All right.
All right, we've got a degustation to go to.
We've got a degustation to go to.
So come on in, buddy.
Send us home.
He just waits patiently until we're ready.
Just in the pool, just beside us.
Can someone buy me a dolphin experience for my birthday?
Okay, thanks, bye.
Hey, Google, what's the time?
It's 3pm.
Give or take a minute.
Alexa, play ZM on iHeartRadio.
Playing ZM on iHeartRadio.
Hey, Siri, when are Bree and Clint on?
Bree and Clint are on air in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
G'day, Cobber.
It's us, two Australian jokers.
Back for another afternoon of jokes.
I don't think you'd pass.
I'm leaning into this Aussie Jersey thing, and I'm enjoying it.
All right, where's your water?
If you really want to be Australian, take your shoe off and do a water shoeie out of your shoe.
Truth, woman.
Clint, Clint, Clint.
No.
Clint, Clint.
If you want to lean into it, then you've got to go.
I've got nice shoes on today, and I don't want to get them wet.
Okay, I'm not Australian enough to do it. It's un-Australian.
I'll do it out of your shoe.
No, mine are brand new. So are mine!
That's the problem. And why would you want to do it out of
my shoe? Oh, Ben's got a gum boot. I'll do
it out of a gum boot. Yeah, do it out of a gum...
Oh, I think I've done a shoeie out of that gum boot
before. Nah, look, if we're going to do this, let's do it properly
later when we've got a beer or something.
No one's going to be impressed by me doing a shooie out of someone else's gumboot.
Who wants to see Clint drink his water out of a gumboot?
Fine, bring me the gumboot.
Bring the gumboot in.
Do you have anything else out there that he can drink out of?
I'm true blue.
I'm ready to go.
Not the Windex.
No, I'm not drinking out of a bottle of window cleaner.
Do you have a thong out there?
Oh, you mean you need some dick togs?
Do you have a thong that he can drink off you mean you need some dick togs? Do you have a thong
that he can drink off of?
Alright, I'll put it on.
You ready?
Are you wearing your thongs today,
Producer Ben?
Sounds like I'm saying.
Okay, if I put this in,
if I put this in,
I'm Australian.
Alright?
I'm not going to say
you're Australian.
No, you've got to do
the whole thing.
There's too much water.
Oh, listen to you,
you complainer.
I'm a little Australian.
Be ready. I think Fletch and Vaughn Oh, listen to you, you complainer. Yeah, my little Australian beard.
Ready?
I think Fletch and Vaughn had their dirty feet in there.
Yuck, it tastes like rubber.
Anyway, I'm true blue, baby.
I'm true blue.
I am wearing a Wallabies jersey.
I'm at the halfway point.
I'm halfway through the challenge. This comes off at 5 o'clock on Saturday, this jersey.
Are you going out on Saturday?
I am.
God, such a hard challenge to wear a comfortable jersey every day.
I feel so bad for you.
It is actually very comfortable, this jersey.
Yeah, it looks comfortable.
It's nice, it's baggy, it's old school, but it's Australian.
And this week, I love that.
There's a new app that's launched in New Zealand today,
which could make your life a hell of a lot easier.
Yeah, it's really cool, actually.
This has been in Aussie for a long time.
Yeah.
I've used this app before, and it's actually amazing.
I imagine it's really good for lazy people.
Just stuff you don't want to do.
Yeah, who value their time.
Well, not even lazy.
People who value their time over a
bit of money. Yes. So
this is great for people who
say are super busy. Yeah.
But they might have their time poor.
Yes. But have a bit of extra cash.
Cash rich. Yeah.
That's pretty much. The app's called
Airtasker. And I've heard people talk about
this in podcasts before and they're like, oh yeah, I just
Airtasked it. And I never really understood what it meant.
But you've used it before in Australia.
So tell us what air-tasker is.
Essentially, it's where you can put up any kind of little job
or task that you have in your life that you might not have time for
or you might just not want to do it.
Yeah.
Like I used to use it for things like I would find really stressful
and annoying like getting my car serviced and I would air task it out
for someone to organise the whole thing and do it.
Oh, not air task someone to come to your house and service your car.
No, no.
Like someone want to come.
Just cash job.
Someone want to have a go at this thing.
Can someone give me a wharf?
Just making a rattling noise.
Someone just come and take a listen.
Right, I see what you mean.
So they would do the admin side of it for you.
Yeah, organise it all.
Could you do like my son's birthday is coming up.
Yes.
Could you bake me a cake?
Yes.
That's a really good example.
You can ear task it out.
Can you do real personal stuff?
Like I need to, I've got a part of my back that is quite hairy
and it's beach season.
Just bear with me.
Bear with me. I've got beach season
coming up. I need someone who will
clip it. Just that middle bit that I can't reach.
Is that something that you can air task it? I don't
know about that. Right. I'm not sure.
But you're not. Can someone please come over
and wax my whole body? I'm not
sure if that would fly on air
tasker. Maybe if someone was willing to do it.
We have listed. Well, you have listed.
Just because it's fun. It's the first day. Why not?
We thought you'd list something up on Air Tasker.
So why don't you read out the listing that you've just put up?
Now that I'm
reading it, it sounds so sad.
So I put up on Air Tasker
that I'm looking for someone
to come and
laugh at all my jokes.
Yeah, because I'm exhausted. Yeah.
Clint's really tired at fake laughing.
So I said, I work as a radio presenter on the ZM Drive show,
Bree and Clint.
I would love to hire someone for an hour this afternoon
to be my hype girl slash boy.
Laugh at all my jokes, encourage me, be cool,
and hang out in the studio.
Oh, you're really selling it to them.
I am.
Yeah.
Hey, it's a pretty easy job.
Yeah.
Because I'm hilarious.
See, that was funny.
Right.
I said I would like them, yeah, it's an hour of work
and the budget, I'm willing to pay someone $50.
$50?
$50 for the hour.
That's pretty good.
Have you had any bites?
I have had one bite.
Yeah.
From a guy called Dane.
He has written back and said
no matter how
unfunny you are, I will still
laugh. Dane's our man.
Dane's the guy we're looking for. I'm going to accept.
You're going to accept the job? He sounds like he's
the man for the job. If he comes in and he does
the job, we'll just put him in the corner
and give him his own microphone.
It'll be like we're on Friends. It'll be like having a
live studio audience. Except there's just one
person. For that $50 does he laugh at my
jokes as well? No just mine. You can pay
your own money.
Just wait
for the little stingy
and... Could have told my dad's story.
It's time for another
Bree and Clint taste test.
We tasted
So you don't have to
I thought you'll really like this
Remember all those Arnott's
Chocolates you bought over at Christmas
It was like biscuits
And chocolate combined
It was such a good idea
Because Arnott's is Australian right
Yeah well they
Yeah Australian company
Yeah right
I don't know if they're Aussie company anymore
But yeah
So I figured these are a bit of a taste of home for you
And it's another one of those mashup things.
I do love a mashup.
Do you enjoy an Arnott's Scotch Finger?
I do love, oh yeah, it's probably one of my favourites.
Okay, so what about an Arnott's Scotch Finger salted caramel tart?
Oh, that's interesting.
Where did you get these from?
We scoured the country to find them.
They're brand new.
Someone sent them to you, didn't they?
No, no, no, we bought them.
I sent producer Ben on a wild goose chase to find these.
Did you go to Christchurch to get these, Ben?
Oh, I wish.
He went to country Queensland like you.
Christchurch has everything.
Do you like shortbread creams?
Aren't it shortbread creams?
What about shortbread cream mud cake?
Oh, yeah.
They look all right.
Yeah, those are good stuff.
Whoa, that's so weird seeing a shortbread cream in a dark colour.
And then a Monte Carlo Black Forest.
Yum!
We're only going to eat one, okay?
We're only going to eat one.
Which one is it?
You have to decide, and then the others are getting thrown in the bin.
I think, to be honest, in the bin!
Yeah, for dramatic effect, for radio.
The most interesting to me, if you've ever had a Monte Carlo,
very interesting textures in a Monte Carlo.
And Black Forest is one of my favourite flavours.
Let's taste test an Arnott's Monte Carlo Black Forest.
This is what everybody wants to hear at like 10 to 4a.
We don't have any of these biscuits, you jerks.
Your sugar levels are low.
You're fighting the urge to go to the vending machine.
This is hashtag not sponsored, by the way.
And then you hear some radio.
We just love biscuits.
Oh, I've got a cup of tea too.
Yeah, perfect.
Okay, there you go.
Have one of those and rate that for us.
Okay.
You know what the original tastes like.
Yes, I do.
Yeah, have it.
Looks a lot like the original.
Cheeky nib and...
Mmm, it's nice.
It's very good, eh?
It's different.
It's unusual.
Black Forest.
This segment is so stupid. Yeah, let's stop. Let's unusual. Black Forest. This segment is so stupid.
Yeah, let's stop.
Let's never do this again.
A company has released results about tourist spots
that are the most complained about,
which is quite interesting
because you have the big attractions around the world
and a lot of those, let me tell you, are on this list.
People complaining, saying, you know,
that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be, not a fan.
Was it producer Ben that one time said behind the scenes here?
What did he say?
See, his is not even firsthand,
and that's why I don't accept his complaint.
Because he hasn't been there.
He said, I have no interest in visiting the Coliseum.
The Coliseum is the one, like, attraction you should go see
because it would be so cool.
It's so authentic.
Yeah, I just don't think it would be as impressive
as I'd like it to be.
It's ruins.
It's literally, it's literally the Coliseum.
It's the world's greatest stadium.
Yeah, but I don't.
They filmed the Gladiator there.
Well, yeah, they made it look good in the movies.
So you don't want to go because it's a bit run down?
Is that what you're saying?
Possibly.
There'll be rubbish everywhere.
I don't know.
There's not rubbish everywhere.
It's pristine.
It's the pride of Rome.
See, that's the one thing.
That's what they want you to think.
Right, okay.
See, the Colosseum, I think, is the one place I would go
and I would not complain.
You're a frustrating person sometimes.
I love you.
You're a frustrating person.
But sure. It's so far up your alley, it would not complain. You're a frustrating person sometimes. I love you. You're a frustrating person. But shush.
It's so far up your alley, it's not funny.
And I can't convince him to go.
He'd love it.
He would absolutely love it.
To be fair, you can't at the moment.
So it's really better you don't want to go.
One place where I feel like Anastasia and I,
producer Anastasia and I,
were having a bit of a whinge about this place the other day
was the Eiffel Tower.
Oh, right.
Because you hear all...
Wait, wait, wait.
Is this like a Ben situation or have you actually been?
No, I've never been.
Oh, right.
I see.
But I haven't heard great things.
I've been.
What do you think it's like?
I think, I mean, pretty amazing structure to go see.
I do think it would be pretty amazing to see that.
You'll give it that.
But I think it would be so overrun with tourists,
like tourism-y kind of stuff,
that it would kind of take a bit of the shine off of it.
So it's near the centre of Paris.
Yeah.
And so it's like big gardens and stuff around it.
But you're right, it's way too touristy.
Yeah.
Because you have this vision that you're going to go
on this romantic day to the Eiffel Tower and sit in a field.
There's people everywhere.
Which we did.
It's all people taking selfies of them trying to hold the tip of the Eiffel Tower
and people trying to sell you Eiffel Tower key rings.
Yeah, that's interesting because on this website,
a lot of people talk about that, how that should be more policed.
It's Eiffel Tower key rings, selfie sticks and phone charges.
And once you get up there, there's a big fence
that covers all the photo of the view.
How long did you have to wait?
How long do you have to wait to get up there?
I was in a group, so it took like an hour,
but I heard of other people waiting five hours.
So the next time I went to Paris...
Five hours!
I want to give this a good review in Paris.
The Arc de Triomphe, way better.
Way better.
You go straight up.
It's a nice walk up to the top.
Beautiful view.
That's exactly what we did.
You're in the centre of Paris.
And yeah, it's a much better experience.
Because I mean, the Eiffel Tower,
is there anything like the giant drop where you kind of go up and come down?
That's where AJ Haffnett did his first bungee.
Is it?
Yeah. He did his first.
He planned it and everything and got arrested when he did it.
Well, it wasn't his first bungee jump.
He'd practiced bungee jumping before he threw himself off the Eiffel Tower.
Right.
It was just the most dramatic.
I'm giving a go off here.
I love the idea of giving travel reviews in 2020.
Like reviewing places.
Haven't been.
Haven't been, but also can't go.
Yeah, so what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Okay, I'm going to tell you some of the big attractions
that are on this list of the most complained about.
Right.
And you guys tell me which one you think is the most complained about.
Okay, go for it.
So there's the Coliseum, Big Ben in London,
the Pyramids of Giza,
New York's Statue of Liberty, the Hollywood sign in LA,
the Taj Mahal, Berlin Wall, Grand Canyon, Sydney Opera House and the Eiffel Tower.
If anyone complains about the Grand Canyon, they need a wake up.
Seriously, what did you expect?
No one even did anything.
It was just there.
Okay, so what do we think the most complained about is?
I'd love to know people's guesses on 96962.
Yeah, I would say most complained about on that list was,
was the Empire State Building on there?
It wasn't, was it?
No, it's not on here.
The Pyramids of Giza.
I've heard lots of people complain about literally the most iconic structure
on the planet.
I reckon that would be one of my favourites.
Yeah, what do you guys want to say?
What do you think the most complained about is?
I would have said the Eiffel Tower
just because of how you guys responded.
Eiffel Tower, even though you hate the Coliseum,
you're going Eiffel Tower.
Yeah, I'm going to say...
Wait, what's the one where everyone gets rained on
and they have to wear the one that you just said before?
Which one?
The Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon.
There's no rain in the Grand Canyon.
There's no rain.
Okay, it's definitely not raining.
Okay, what is it?
With 19,000 negative reviews in the last year,
it is the Eiffel Tower.
Yeah, right.
Poor Eiffel Tower.
You know?
Now I feel bad for it.
Yeah, what has it got to do?
It's a pretty amazing building.
You know, what is it supposed to do?
Oh, 800 dials at him this afternoon.
What is the iconic tourist spot that you thought was overrated?
Yeah, you turned up and you were kind of like, oh, it's all right.
And because we are supporting local, no New Zealand tourist attractions.
Everything in New Zealand's awesome.
Everything in New Zealand is fantastic.
It's five star.
In fact, I'm rating stuff on New Zealand Trip Advisor that I've never even been to five stars
just to get the economy restarted.
But do you have the balls to give us a negative review
of the Grand Canyon? It doesn't have to be super negative
you can just be like, went to the Grand Canyon?
Yeah. I mean it's a whole. Have you got the guts
to say the Taj Mahal was a bit
too pointy, you know? Nah, the Taj
Mahal, oh I'll be surprised.
0800 dial ZM or you
can text your negative review of
a iconic tourist spot to
9696.
I'm so interested.
Bree and Clint.
I'm getting such a laugh out of some of these reviews.
A company has released the most complained about tourist attractions around the world.
Coming in at number one is the Eiffel Tower.
Yep.
With 19,000 bad reviews.
To put it into context, how many do you think the Sydney Opera House got?
Who's complaining about the Sydney Opera House?
The Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge,
like the whole view is amazing.
Sydney Harbour is beautiful.
Is beautiful.
But people love to complain.
Yeah.
I don't know how many people have complained about the Sydney Opera House.
So compared to the 19,000 complaints on this website,
the Sydney Opera House only got 300.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah.
There's literally nothing to complain about.
You're on the water.
There's a bar there.
The bar's the best bar.
And the weather is good nine days out of ten.
It's a pretty good spot.
But people do love to complain,
and that's what we want to give you guys the opportunity to do this afternoon.
Do you want to come on and give a bad review
to an iconic tourist spot somewhere around the world?
It's a small day.
We have said outwardly no New Zealand tourist attractions
because none of them are bad.
Especially at the moment.
We're visiting our own backyard.
Everything is amazing.
I'm trying to give six stars at the moment.
Yep, I agree.
Yeah, so let's go to Olivia.
Hi, Olivia.
Hi, Liv.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
What was the tourist spot where you went to and you thought,
hmm, this is overrated?
So me and my friend actually went to Paris last year.
We went to the Eiffel Tower, and it was just a recipe for disaster.
Like, we got on the plane, we got lost, no one spoke English.iffel Tower and it was just a recipe for disaster. Like, we got on the plane.
We got lost.
No one spoke English.
We got there and it started raining.
We were like, man, this is just not it.
And actually, to get up the tower, you have to pay like 40 euros.
Yeah.
So it was like $80.
We were like, yeah, nah.
What do you mean, Olivia?
You didn't fall in love and find the hottest person ever underneath the Eiffel Tower and then you went off to eat baguettes and cheese?
Mate, it was just not it.
It's just not it at all.
How many stars out of five?
How many stars for the Eiffel Tower?
Oh, like maybe a solid two.
Okay.
Stars, not gold stars.
I can picture Liv's review.
It would be two stars, not it.
I hope Liv didn't put in her review, no one spoke English.
You are in France.
Greg's here.
G'day, Greg.
Hi, Greg.
G'day, how are you?
Good, thank you.
What was the big tourist attraction where you thought this is average?
Well, sorry about it, Bree.
Yeah?
But it happens to be in your homeland.
Oh, no.
Not the big pineapple.
Don't talk about the big pineapple, Greg.
No, not the big pineapple. I quite enjoyed the big pineapple. It was the big pineapple it was quite good it's got to be air's rock air's rock
greg how are you going to come yeah no sorry your review go ahead it's just a big stone in the
desert yeah there's no architecture there's no architecture did to it at all. There's no architecture. Did you Google it first, Greg?
Yeah.
It is quite literally the world's biggest rock.
That's how they pretty much advertise it, Greg. That's the attraction.
What were you promised?
Were you promised there was like a casino and a gift shop?
Ferris wheel.
No, I just thought that it would be a lot more impressive than it was.
You didn't think it was that big?
Oh, it was a decent-sized rock. Yeah, I've had that review with a lot of people too, Greg. You sound like a hard man to Right, okay. You didn't think it was that big? Oh, it was a decent-sized rock.
Yeah, I've had that review with a lot of people too, Greg.
Yeah, you sound like a hard man to impress, Greg.
Have you had children before?
I've got three, yes.
I imagine when your first child came out, you were like,
it's all right.
Greg, I love that.
I love that you've come on.
I expected it to be a bit bigger.
I love that you went to...
He was a big baby.
He was 13 pounds.
Can you imagine Greg turning up there and going, oh, it's all right. Well,. He was a big baby. He was 13 pounds. Can you imagine Greg
turning up there
and going,
oh, it's alright.
Well, it's just a big rock.
It's a big rock.
Let's go to Hayden.
Hi, Hayden.
Hi, Hayden.
Hi, guys.
How are you?
Good, thank you, mate.
We're negatively reviewing
some of the most iconic
tourist destinations
in the world.
Round us out.
Where did you go
that wasn't that good?
I could spend all day
doing this as a seasoned traveller,
but the one beacon of shite-ness is like a day's trip wasted
with the Pisa, Italy.
Like the worst, the absolute worst.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
I have heard it's, like, pretty dirty.
Oh, no, see, that's the problem,
is that the photos that you see of the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
it's a gleaming marble tower that you think is phenomenally huge
and fantastic.
It's in a hellhole of Italy,
surrounded by homeless people begging and horrible...
Tell us how you really feel, Hayden.
Hayden, and I'm assuming it's a bit dirty, the tower itself.
Is that right?
The tower is pristine clean.
They must clean it with just twice a day.
Oh, okay.
They should get out the water blower.
I was going to say, you've got to forgive them for not cleaning it.
It's literally leaning, like it's falling over.
But if they have kept that clean, then yeah, okay.
I'm getting the general sense that a lot of the iconic tourist spots,
people get disappointed because on the text machine,
people are saying Stonehenge is really small.
The Mona Lisa is really small.
The Statue of Liberty is really small.
Pisa is really small.
People just don't like small things.
I mean, Greg thought that Ayers Rock was small.
Our expectations are so high these days.
Ayers Rock ain't that big.
I want bigger.
Bree and Clint.
Just in time for Christmas.
Funny that.
PlayStation and Xbox have come out with brand new consoles.
Good timing.
It's been a while since PS4 came out.
Yeah, how long has it been?
I don't know.
I didn't buy it.
I pegged it PS3.
And I only bought that.
I only bought that.
I was going to say, let's be real.
You just bought it to play Blu-rays on it?
Yeah, I bought it as a Blu-ray player.
Yeah.
I bought it so I could watch Dark Knight.
Did you buy any games for it?
It came with a free copy of Red Dead Redemption.
Oh, my God.
So I played that game and couldn't get through the first level,
so I stopped playing it.
And now my PS3, actually I threw it out because-
You told me this.
Yeah.
And I was like, why would you throw it out?
You could sell it.
Someone's after a Blu-ray player somewhere.
No, it stopped taking updates.
So I couldn't even use it as a Blu-ray player.
Yeah, that's annoying.
It was actually the most expensive, worst Blu-ray player you could get.
Yeah, just get a normal one.
Yeah.
Also, it's 2020, bro.
Get Netflix.
Just get Netflix.
Anyway, I thought to celebrate, why don't we have a game of console bingo?
And the gist of this game is you guess the prices of these consoles at release.
Okay.
It'll be you.
You're going to be playing against Darren.
G'day, Darren.
G'day, Daz.
Guys, how's it going?
Good, Daz.
What console have you got, Darren?
I've got quite a few.
Okay.
I've got PS1, 2, 3, Xbox, Xbox One, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance.
Jeez, so you've got them all.
Do you know what I mean about the PS3 not taking updates very well?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm not stupid then.
And Steve,
you're going to play
Console Bingo 2.
What console have you got?
Tony, I've got a PS3.
PS3.
PS3.
Yeah, I love the PS3.
Maybe I shouldn't have
thrown it out.
It's now vintage.
Okay, here we go.
I'm going to tell you
a console
and you guys are going to
just guess
how much you think
it costs at release
and closest to it
wins the point.
First one is the
brand new PlayStation
which comes out in New Zealand
on the 12th of November this year.
How much, Bree?
I'm going to say,
from my gaming knowledge,
$850.
$850.
Darren?
$1,299.
$1,299.
And Steve?
I was going to say $1,100.
$1,100.
Bree wins.
The new PlayStation is going to be $819.
Oh, I was on the money.
Okay, the next one is the new Xbox, which comes in two models.
The Series...
Oh, that's the PlayStation noise.
You know your consoles.
And that's Nintendo.
The Xbox comes in...
I know this is Nintendo,
okay? The Xbox comes in Series X
and Series S. Series X
is the Flash one. How much for the new
Xbox Series X, which comes out
on the 10th of November, two days before the
PlayStation? Bree? Well, they'd want to be competitive,
I'd say. I'm going to say flat
$900. $900. Darren,
how much for the Xbox? $998.
$998. Steve? I don't wait Xbox, and hopefully it's less, or maybe $900. $900. Darren, how much for the Xbox? $998. $998.
Steve?
I don't like Xbox and hopefully it's less or maybe $500.
Just a quick dig in Xbox there.
Well, the new Xbox, Brie is closest and it's going to be $800.
I am on fire!
Okay.
Let's go old school.
PlayStation 1.
I wasn't wrong before.
This is hard.
It came out in December 1994, the PS1,
and it was the standard for a very long time.
How much was the PS1 when it first came out?
Bree?
$299, I'm going to say.
$299.
Okay.
Darren, how much?
$499.
$499.
And Steve?
I'll say $550.
$550. $550. A brand new PS1 in New Zealand in 1994 was $475.
It's a point to Darren.
You've got one, don't you, Darren?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.
We're going to do one more of these.
Can you do a Nintendo Switch?
Do you want a Nintendo 64 or do you want a Game Boy Color?
Game Boy Color.
Game Boy Color.
Okay.
Game Boy Color came out in 1998.
Okay.
How much was it in New Zealand when it first came out?
Actually, this is hard.
I'm going to say...
$200.
$200.
Darren?
$399.
$399.
Steve, Game Boy Color?
I'll go $150.
$150.
Steve wins the point. It was only $112. Is $3.99. Steve, Game Boy Color? I'll go $150. $150. Steve wins the point.
It was only $112.
Is that it?
Yeah.
I remember them being so expensive as a kid.
Yeah.
Yeah, they were.
Well, that's what your parents told you.
That's what they told you.
I didn't have one.
Yeah, I was going to say,
your parents were like,
nah, they're like $1,700.
And it came with that real bad printer.
Remember you could get the camera
and the printer that came with it
and it printed your photo on like...
Nintendo i, wasn't it, or something?
Yeah.
That's right.
Printed it on like receipt paper.
I bought a Game Boy Color like two years ago off eBay.
Yeah?
Yeah, it's still as cool as what it was back in the day.
Pokemon?
Yeah, bought Pokemon Blue.
Worth a bit?
Yeah, probably worth a bit now.
Yeah, probably would.
There you go.
It wasn't cheap.
Bree wins console bingo.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Do I win a console?
Yeah, you win one of the four consoles you've got that you never use.
There's an ice cream parlour in Christchurch.
How retro is the term ice cream parlour?
I love it.
It's a gelato shop, I think.
That's the 20 words.
Even better.
They are going about trying to predict the winner of the 2020 general election
in quite a unique way.
How?
They have launched a range of ice creams
that represent each of the political parties,
and then whichever ice cream sells the most,
that's who's ahead in the polls.
Oh, I thought you were going to say which one melts the most under pressure.
That's a great test as well.
That would be good.
Yeah.
Which one melts the fastest?
Yeah.
Okay. No, they haven fastest? Yeah. Okay.
No, they haven't done that.
It's purely done on sales,
which means if you're a dyed-in-the-wool national supporter,
you have to buy the national ice cream,
even if it's not your favourite flavour.
Oh, what if you hate the flavour?
I know.
Or you go in there and you go,
oh, that's so delicious.
This might be the first time I'm voting.
Act.
You know?
Right.
Who knows how it'll go.
It might change you, sway your vote.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to give you the party's,
the ice cream flavours,
and you're going to tell me who you're going to vote for.
Okay.
And you're going to do it impartially.
So I'm going to do it based on the flavour?
Yeah.
Okay.
No, I don't care what your political leanings are in this segment.
I just want to know based on ice cream who you're voting for in this election.
All right.
It's at a place called Rollican Gelato in Christchurch,
which would cross to our Christchurch desk.
Producer Anastasia, where is that?
Is it in Rolleston?
No, no, no.
It's in the central city.
Yeah.
They've got heaps.
They keep on expanding.
They've got heaps of locations.
Oh, right.
Do you love it?
Rate it?
Amazing.
Everyone from Christchurch.
I literally saw a meme today of my friends all commenting
that's where their money goes to.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
There you go.
Rollican. Rollican. Roll There you go. Rollican.
Rollican. Rollican.
Yeah. Rollican.
Oh, I get it. Rollican.
Like rollican. Rollican.
Alright, let's have our political poll.
Representing the National Party,
the Judith Collins ice cream is a cookies and cream called the Cookie Crusher Collins.
That makes sense.
That's very good, I think.
Yeah, Cookie Crusher Collins.
Representing the Labour Party, the Jacinda Ardern Jacinda Fever,
it's a red velvet cake ice cream.
Oh, I love red velvet.
I don't know if I'd call it Jacinda Fever.
Jacinda Fever? Yeah, around
the last year we've had. Oh, right.
But anyway. Well, don't call it Jacinda
Virus. Yeah.
Then you're safe. David Seymour.
He's the leader of the
Axe Party or the One Man
Party. What would they be? He's the
only member. David Seymour,
you can get a David S'more,
which is marshmallow and chocolate.
That's good. Yum.
I think the chocolate is very, very
white. Yeah.
It's a white chocolate. For the
ACT Party, I think it's a very white
chocolate. White chocolate is like a cower.
The Green Party, okay,
Green Party's got two leaders. One is
called Marama Davidson and the other one is called James Shaw.
Okay.
Now, the Green Party ice cream you can get is called a Shaw High.
Is this green tea ice cream?
No, it's not green tea.
It's made with pistachio and hemp brownies.
Awesome.
Hemp doesn't give you a buzz.
Yeah, and also hemp tastes weird, doesn't it?
Right, okay.
Well, maybe you're not voting greens.
And finally, the last ice cream you have to choose
is a New Zealand first Winston Peters ice cream,
which is made with ciggy butts and whiskey.
It tastes like steak and secondhand smoke.
No, it doesn't.
No, it's licorice and chocolate lumps.
So it's black and white, like their colours.
So out of that, Judith Collins, Cookie and Cream,
Jacinda Red Velvet, David Smore, Green Party,
Hemp Brownie and Winston Peter, licorice and chocolate.
Who are you voting for in the 2020 ice cream election?
To keep it fair, you know me the best.
You should know out of those ice cream flavours.
Three, two, one.
Red Velvet, Jacinda.
And not just because you've got a crush on her.
I love Red Velvet.
What are the odds?
What a great idea.
Have you ever made up your minds about the election
or you don't know how to vote?
Go to vote.nz.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Time for What's the Plot?
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was smart, debatable, talented, athletic.
Not really.
Picking a movie based on just the plot line?
That she can do.
Brie and Clint's What The Plot.
Do you know more about movies than Brie, our movie buff, does?
If you do, it could win you $250 of mobile fuel this afternoon.
You're going to have to work hard for it, though.
Taking you on today is Kate.
Hi, Kate.
Afternoon, Kate.
Hi.
What's your country of origin, Kate?
New Zealand.
New Zealand.
Yeah, I was going to say,
Brie does have a competitive advantage today because all the movies in What's the Plot today
were filmed in Australia.
I don't know what was filmed in Australia.
I know movies that were made about Australia.
Kate, we know every single film that was made in New Zealand.
So do I.
Lord of the Rings.
The Hobbit.
That Taylor Swift music video.
Oh, yeah, that was filmed here.
Where she stood on the dotterals.
It's awesome.
Okay, that's okay.
Look, they're not movies about Australia.
I think it's pretty fair playing field.
I don't know what was filmed there.
They're not even movies that star Australians.
The reason for that is I'm an honorary Australian this week
wearing a Wallabies jersey until Saturday afternoon.
You should have done movies about rugby.
That'd be good too.
That would have been good.
I think there's one.
Yeah, so it would have been a short game.
Ding, Invictus.
Okay, here we go, guys.
Your buzzer is your name.
You don't have to wait for me to finish the plot
before you jump in and have a guess. Okay.
Movie number one. Our main
character believes that an elusive
figure considered to be the most dangerous
man alive can answer
his question. He is contacted
by a beautiful stranger
who leads him into an underworld
where he meets this elusive figure.
Kate. Kate.
Is it Matrix?
Matrix is absolutely correct.
Good work, Kate.
That was a tough one, if you ask me.
Almost all of The Matrix was filmed in the heart of Sydney's Central Business District.
Yeah.
What?
Yeah, amazing, eh?
Did not know that.
Such a great movie.
Such a good movie.
Okay, you're one up, Kate. Congratulations, you're in this. Oh, no, this makes me nervous. Here we go, okay, eh? Did not know that. Such a great movie. Such a good movie. Okay, you're one up, Kate.
Congratulations, you're in this.
Oh, no, this makes me nervous.
Here we go.
Okay, movie number two.
A farmer wins an animal at a country fair.
Brie.
County fair, Brie.
Babe.
Oh.
Babe is absolutely correct.
Oh, sorry, I mean.
God, literally, everything just tightened up then.
Babe was filmed in Robertson, New South Wales.
Such a great movie with Meg Dzybanski.
Not Babe Pig in the City.
I don't know where that one was filmed.
Babe Pig in the City, so cute.
Okay, it's one all.
Oh, here we go, tiebreaker.
Welcome to tiebreaker, okay?
Finally, a fair, even
match.
Movie number three.
Midwest native
Nick arrives
in New York City
in search of the American dream.
Nick moves
next door to a billionaire
and across the bay
Bree.
Bree.
This is going to be an absolute stab.
Is it The Great Gatsby?
The Great Gatsby.
You're nervous too.
The Great Gatsby is correct.
She's done it.
You had me so worried today.
Did you know that one, Kate?
No.
No, you wouldn't have got it.
I just remember the character's name being Nick.
That's the only reason.
There you go.
It was the Nick that threw me.
Yeah, right.
Okay, well, there you go.
There's another round of What's the Plot?
We'll play for $300 next week.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint. Bree and Clint.
This is interesting because I've seen this happen quite a lot on TikTok,
especially, where people are always amazed when a daughter and their mum
or a dad and the son, they do TikToks together
and they look like they're the same age.
Yeah, right.
And people are like, who's the mum and who's the daughter? I just can't tell. I can imagine those TikToks and it look like they're the same age. Yeah, right. And people are like, who's the mum and who's the daughter?
I just can't tell.
I can imagine those TikToks and it's like...
Who do you think it does more for, the daughter or the mum?
The mum.
The mum, absolutely.
The mum would be fizzing for it.
And if you're a daughter or a son willing to do that for your mum or dad,
you're a daughter or a son willing to do that for your mum or dad, you're an angel. You know what's crazy is this latest duo that are being mistaken for siblings,
twins even, is a mother-daughter duo.
One of them's named Stacey.
Oh, really?
Yeah, no BS.
Is this the daughter?
No, it's the mum.
Damn it.
Damn.
So close.
We can fix that.
Are you ready? mum. Damn it. Damn. So close. We can fix that. Are you ready?
Yeah.
Daughter.
Oh, that's creepy now because we're talking about her daughter.
No, but she's old enough.
She's quite old.
Anyway, these two.
What about, what about?
Is the.
Oh, no, it doesn't work either.
We'll work on that.
We'll workshop that later.
This duo, apparently people are so mind blown that they look so similar
that it's just blowing up and going viral just based on that.
Oh, my God.
I'm looking at them now.
They look like sisters.
Can you tell?
Who's which?
Yeah, wow.
It's quite hard, isn't it?
Now, mum looks like she may have asked for the same hairdo as her daughter
to accentuate the look.
This is not a criticism.
I'm just wondering how they achieved such an incredible comparison.
It's pretty spot on.
They're dressing the same, which is fun.
They have the same hair.
That's fun.
But yeah, they look like they could definitely be sisters.
I've looked into how old Stacey is and how old her daughter is because I was like, oh,
I wonder.
Like, it'd be quite interesting.
Stacey has stated she's over 40.
Wow.
Yes.
And Madison, her daughter, has recently turned 16, apparently.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good genes.
Great genes.
Great genes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very lucky.
Imagine when she gets a granddaughter, if they can still pull it off,
the three of them.
See, now that would be wild.
Now that would be impressive.
Very wild.
I was saying to you off air, I dated someone who their parents
were very young.
Like I think when they were 20, her mum was 38, I think I said to you?
37.
Right, so she had a daughter when she was 17. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, so and it was pretty, I'm I said to you? 37. Right, so she had a daughter when she was 17.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah, so, and it was pretty, I'm not going to lie,
it was pretty cool, like, because they were cool young parents.
She's like, I'm not a normal mum.
They were like, I'm not a regular mum.
I'm a cool mum.
Yeah.
And you would, you'd be going through similar things.
It was very cool.
Your kid would be like, I'm trying to buy my first house.
And mum's like, me too.
Do you want to go get a tattoo?
Do you want to go halves? Let's go get a tattoo today. Oh my God, I saw trying to buy my first house. And mum's like, me too. Do you want to go get a tattoo? Do you want to go halves?
Let's go get a tattoo today.
Oh, my God.
I saw you out last night.
I know.
Were you at that new spot?
I wanted to ask the question based around this because, I mean,
people out there would be living with really young parents.
Yep.
Like it's quite a common thing.
Very common, yep.
Have you seen 16 and Pregnant?
Teen Mom. It's a very common thing. Very common, yep. Have you seen 16 and Pregnant? Teen Mom.
It's a very popular show.
I want to know from people, if you're listening right now,
and have you got a really young parent?
Yep.
Like what's young?
What are we talking?
I think it's more about the age gap between you guys.
Yeah.
How small is the age gap between you?
How small is it?
Yeah.
Because you can ask for young parents and, like,
you could have a five-year-old ring up and go,
Dad's only 35.
Right, I get what you're saying.
Is the age gap...
How close in age are you to your parents?
Yes, that's the question we're asking.
0800 DIAL ZM or you can text us on 9696.
How close in age are you with your parent?
Bree and Clint.
We're talking young, hot parents.
I mean, young, just
young parents. Do you have
parents that are considered quite young?
Like, are you quite close together?
Do you relate to them because you guys are going
through similar things? Like, did you guys
both, were you at O-Week at the same time? Yeah.
Is your mum not a regular mum?
Is she a cool mum? You were in the fridge
in Dunedin and they were in
the dairy.
That sounds like a TV show sitcom.
We're asking you this afternoon on 0800DIALZM,
are you and your parent quite close together in age?
Hi, Sam.
Good afternoon.
Hi, Sam.
Hi.
How are you?
Good.
Are you the mum or the daughter?
I'm the daughter.
Okay.

How old are you?
I'm 32 and my mum's 48.
Whoa.
That's close.
So wait, so how old was your mum?
16.
So she was 16.
16 and pregnant.
Yep, pretty much.
And she became a grandparent at 34.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Wait, wait, this is too much math for us.
How old were you?
So I had just turned 19.
19.
So yeah, she was an old hot grandmother.
Yes.
A young hot grandmother, sorry.
Young hot grandmother.
Young hot grandmother 34.
Yeah.
Right.
So she could, I mean, I don't want to keep it troubling.
I was like, when could she be a great grandma?
Well, mine's 13, my eldest is 13 and my youngest is
8
That's amazing
Have you always felt similar in age to your mum?
Yeah definitely
So growing up we kind of
Grew together so we fought a lot like siblings
But now we have the most amazing
Relationship
It'd bring you like quite close together
Did you share clothes?
Yeah we did Sam Did you, like, quite close together. Did you share clothes? Yeah, actually.
Sam, did you ever go out clubbing together?
Yes.
See, I'd love to do that with my mum.
Did you ever crush on the same boy?
No, no, I'm gay.
She's not.
Oh, perfect.
Well, you solved that one.
Yeah, you're in the clear.
Hey, well done, Sam.
Thanks for the call.
No worries.
Thanks, Sam.
Let's talk to Anika. Hey, Anika. Hi, well done, Sam. Thanks for the call. No worries. Thanks, Sam. Let's talk to Anika.

Oh, another one.
Okay, cool.
Interesting.
How old are you?
So I'm 28.
My mum is 37.
And I have a daughter turning 13 very soon.
Wait, we missed your mum's age.

So my mum's 47. Oh, thank God. Oh, we missed your mum's age. Yeah, how old's your mum? So my mum's 47.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, I thought you said 37.
It cut out for a second and we thought you said 30.
No, my mum's 47, I'm 28, and I have a daughter turning 13.
Wow!
So your mum became a grandmother.
How old?
Do the math for me, please.
I think she was 35.
Yes, she's a young grandmother.
Just like before.
I have two kids now, so 13 and 10.
Yeah, congratulations.
Yeah, amazing.
Same thing, you kind of have a sibling relationship with your mum growing up?
Not really.
She was a hell of a mum though, four kids.
And we are best friends now.
Yeah, best friends.
Yeah, see, that's awesome.
We're actually hearing a lot of that.
I love that.
That's very cool.
It makes you, because you're on the same level, like a lot more.
But then mum's like, we're not.
Yeah, well, she needs to be a mum when she needs to be.
But then can you imagine being like, hey, mum, come and do a TikTok.
And she'd be like, no, I'm doing my own TikTok.
Because I'll only do it if you tag me this time.
Cassandra, hi.
Hi, Cass.
Hey, team. Hey. Is it you it if you tag me this time. Cassandra, hi. Hi, Cass. Hi, team.
Hey.
Is it you?

Very young.
Yeah, and my son is now 17.
Whoa, you're so close.
Yeah, and next level, my husband, my now husband, is 17 years my senior.
Oh, my God.
I thought you were about to say your husband is 17.
Cassandra, there are some sentences you have to get through faster.
I was going to say, producers, why did we put this woman through?
17's your number, isn't it?
Yeah, I met him through my son.
Through my son's mate.
No, no, no.
That's tough.
Yeah.
And I'm a step-nana as well.
You're a step-nana.
Oh, congratulations.
That's awesome, Cassandra.
Thank you.
Bree and Clint.

Nijan Mystic were iconic at this time of... Where were you as this? This was number one here in New Zealand. Nijamistic were iconic at this time of...
Where were you as this?
This was in 2008.
Yeah, but it's very Polynesian vibes.
I don't think it made it to America.
Interesting.
Yeah, I've never heard that song.
You should look up Nijamistic because it's very fun.
It's good throwback stuff.
I haven't even heard that one before.
Yeah, right.

How good is Oasis?
Such a good throwback.
What do you think, Alex?
Yeah, I love it.
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say
I mean, it's no Wonderwall, but it's very good.
Still good, yeah.

I love Nijam 101, but the fact that you and...

Her name's changed to Monica.
Is her name Katie or Monica?
Her name's changed.
Her name was Katie, wasn't it?
Is it Monica? I'm Monica. I don't know. Her name was Katie, wasn't it? Is it Monica?
I'm Monica.
I don't know.
Oh, where did Katie go?
I'm so confused.
We've lost Katie.
Producer Ben's like having a panic attack.
Where did Katie go?
She gone.
It was the wrong person entirely.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Was that Katie's birthday banger?
Yes.
It was.
Okay.
But by Monica, we just called back the wrong caller by accident.
She's like, why am I on here?
Oh, we'll get Monica on.
Hey, Monica.
Monica.
How's it going?
You're live on ZM.
How are you going?
Yeah, nah, I'm good, thanks.
Why don't you choose it for us?
You're going to pick our birthday banger today.
Do you want Jessie J, Domino, Oasis, Don't Look Back in Anger, or Nijan 101?
Oh, I think we're going to have to go Nijan 101.
Oh, well, there you go.
Isn't that interesting? Yeah, just spijan 101. Well, there you go. Isn't that interesting?
Yeah, it's better in the works.
Thanks, Monica.
Great to talk to you.

Win birthday banger this afternoon
That's Nijam 101
I'm keen on that
It's good eh?
Not bad at all
Good throwback
They got so many good tunes as well
Do they?
Yeah
Should play a bit more
Nijam 101
Nijamistic
Oz, play
The band's Nijamistic Yes Song's Nijan 101. Nijan Mystic. Oz, wait. The band's Nijan Mystic.
Yes.
Song's Nijan 101.
Well, you could see why I was confused.
Well, you'd be really confused if we played Nijan Styles.
Brian Clint.
Tell you what, she's been a bloody weird year, hasn't she?
Oh, isn't that the way to start the conversation these days?
Anyone you see and you go, oh, hey.
It's been strange.
How you going? Oh, hell of a year we to start the conversation these days? Anyone you see and you go, oh, how are you? It's been strange. How are you going?
Oh, hell of a year we're having.
It's been weird.
Look, and I feel like people are finding it hard
to get back into the rhythm of a normal routine.
Does it make sense anymore?
No, like my flatmate, both my, a few of my flatmates actually,
I've noticed that they're spending more days where they're at home
rather than going into the office.
Yeah.
The ZM Studios are in downtown Auckland, like right in the heart of the city.
And yesterday I had to go out and film that video of me in the Wallabies jersey.
Yes.
There's no one to talk to.
No, everyone's working from home.
It's so quiet.
And I feel like a lot of companies have been like, oh, you know, if you can work at home,
do that.
Which I mean, in the circumstances where the government is telling you to work from home, do that.
Do it, yeah.
But I feel like because there is such a percentage of people
who have now figured, oh, I'm not going to go back to the office.
Yeah.
It gets quite boring here.
So we need to have some things to entice people back to the office.
What Bree's saying, and she's correct, is it's very boring for us
who can't work from home to be here without you guys.
So let's entice slash bribe people to come back to the office.
Think about the person at your work who doesn't get to work from home.
The people that can't.
Is it the IT guy?
Actually, no, if anyone can work from home, it's probably the IT guy.
He just remotes into everything.
There's Wi-Fi now.
Anyway, I've come up with a few ideas which I wanted to run by you
to see if this would make you want to come back into the office if you didn't have to be here. Yeah, pitch've come up with a few ideas which I wanted to run by you to see if this would
make you want to come back into the office
if you didn't have to be here. Yeah, pitch me, go on.
Okay, number one,
come to the office on Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and you get Friday free.
Good. That's good, eh?
Yeah. Like you just have to come into the office
So you don't have to work on Friday?
No. Right. You don't have to work at all. Yeah, good. It's Friday free. Yeah. It's like, to come into the office. So you don't have to work on Friday? No. Right. You don't have to work at all.
Yeah, good.
It's Friday free.
Yeah.
It's like, you know, coffees.
If you get four coffees, you get the fifth one free.
God, where's their coffee shop?
That's a good deal.
Yeah, that's really good actually.
No one's doing that.
Yeah.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, good idea.
Yeah.
The second one, all days will now be bring your dog to work days.
Everyone loves a dog in the office.
Who is the person that is saying that it shouldn't be every day
that dogs are in the office?
Ross Boss.
Yeah, why has he got such a bee in his bonnet?
I don't know.
He's a cat man.
I think he knows that, no, no, no.
Oh, no, he likes dogs.
I think it's he knows that he works with a lot of easily distracted young people.
He's the worst.
He is the worst.
So maybe he's doing it for himself and he's going,
if a dog gets here, no work will be done.
Which I do see his point.
But we need to bring the people back to the offices.
So bring the dogs and the people will come.
Number three, Friday drinks are now also on Tuesdays.
Genius.
Yeah.
Why not?
Two days a week.
Yeah.
And because you're having Friday off, we'll have them on Thursdays and Tuesdays.
Yeah, good.
So there, we got rid of that problem.
What about Thirsty Mondays?
Yep, Thirsty Mondays.
Why not?
Yeah, what about, wow, I want to drink Wednesday.
Wet your Willie Wednesday. Wet your willy Wednesday.
Oh, no.
Yeah, well, it's a whistle.
That would really make people come back to the office.
Not everyone, to be honest.
Wet your whistle.
Some people would be avoiding.
I apologise, that was an accident.
Try not to say it again.
Sorry.
Even after I said it, I was like, no, that's the saying.
It's not the saying.
It's not the saying.
Anyway, moving on.
You didn't, you need to save me.
Ha, great one.
Move on.
Okay.
Number three, there's now going to be compulsory 3pm Netflix meetings
where you just have to go into the boardroom
and you get to watch a few episodes of Netflix.
Like you would at home.
Are you working while you're doing that?
No.
Oh.
You're just hanging out.
Keen, but I put my productivity hat on.
Sorry, for a second there I thought I was a manager.
Stop.
No, I'm keen.
What are you doing?
This is all good stuff.
Number six, compulsory hot tubs in every office.
No, sorry.
I've been in hot tubs with people before where you're like,
do I really want to be in a human suit with you?
And do you really want to be in a hot tub with Wayne from Accounts?
Yeah, things get a bit weird.
Okay, that one will cross out.
What about number seven?
This is the last one I've got.
No Pants Fridays and Thursdays and Wednesdays and Tuesdays.
It's all pyjamas.
You don't want to confuse No Pants Fridays with Wit Your Willy Wednesdays.
You've got to keep those days as far apart as possible.
You definitely have to have them on separate days Hey, I went to a movie last night with a friend
And he had quite a cool face mask
You know when you see somebody who's got a cool face mask
And you're like, damn, you're making this fashion
That's like the fashion thing to do these days
He had an all black one
That was quite fitted to his face
And then it had an Adidas logo down in the corner.
I was like, what a skux. I said, a cool face
mask, man. He goes, thanks, it's my wife's.
I was like, okay, well, she's got a cool
face mask. He goes, yeah, I haven't washed
it since she wore it and it kind of smells like
cottage cheese.
I thought, well, one, wash it
and two, don't let her hear you say that.
She does not want to know that she's got a cotton cheese bread.
Especially don't tell a friend that does a national radio show
that will then talk about it.
I didn't name anybody.
I didn't name anybody, okay?
Didn't name anybody in that story.
But it's interesting.
I like watching people and seeing what sort of masks they've got on
because there's some real intense ones.
And then you see people wearing, is there a few painter's masks out there?
Yeah, quite a lot of the
what would you say they're like a white mesh
yeah like three dimensional
quite round
quite roundy
it looks like you've been renovating
or you're on the block
the advice is whatever you're using is better than nothing
except for this story that I saw today
someone's taken a photo of someone on a bus
in the UK
and the thing that they're using for a mask,
would it be endorsed by Ashley Bloomfield?
I'm going to come out and say no.
Oh no.
Someone's photographed this person on a bus in Manchester
who is wearing a live snake as a face mask.
What?
Have a look.
The guy had boarded the bus with a snake wrapped around his mouth
and the lady who saw it goes,
oh, it's obviously like a snake print snood or something.
Like a scarf or something.
And then the snake slithered off his face
and wrapped itself around the handrail on the bus.
Well, I guess one good point is that it would definitely make people
socially distance themselves from you.
100%.
It's biodegradable.
Reusable.
It's not single use.
Washable.
You're from Australia.
Do you know what kind of snake that is?
It looks like a python to me.
Like some sort of, yeah, like a carpet python or something.
This lady took a photo of it.
It's a big snake though.
Very calmly just took a photo and she posted it and she's like, saw this on the bus.
I'd freak out.
But it's the most 2020 thing ever.
People aren't freaked out by this.
So much has gone on this year that people are like,
oh yeah, live snake on bus, that's fine.
Not concerned.
We'll deal with that.
I saw a guy at Pack and Save the other day
and he had a full blown, Breaking Bad gas mask on.
Yeah.
And then I heard this person, like, in the distance.
He was like, Heisenberg! Heisenberg!
And I was like...
The guy was like, I'm not Heisenberg, okay?
This is going to cost me a lot of money.
This is an awkward TikTok story that I saw.
And it involves someone going through their partner's phone
That's where this originates
It's a married couple
We've talked about this, never a good idea
Because no matter what you see or find
You'll find a way to turn it into
Something like a big deal
Whatever you're looking for you'll find it
Whether it's actually happening or not
Anyway this woman is
Married
And her husband
is present in the TikTok.
They've got kids. There's some young kids and there's also
a teenage kid. She's gone through
the phone and found that
dad, her husband,
has sent someone,
a friend, called
Kate, a happy birthday message
on Facebook Messenger. That should be fine.
Not fine. She's angry. She doesn't know
who Kate is. Right, she doesn't know
Kate. No, no. It's what
I've drawn from the TikTok. She doesn't
like Kate. So rather than
in the healthy way
bringing it up and going, haha, no big deal, but who's
Kate? Yeah, tell me what's going
on. She has instead
baked a birthday cake for Kate.
Oh no.
Gathered the family around the kitchen table, lit some candles,
and told the family that they're going to sing happy birthday to Kate
because Kate is obviously an important part of the family.
Oh, my God.
And the most passive-aggressive attack you've ever heard.
That is so passive-aggressive.
I'm going to play you the TikTok.
What you need to envisage
is dad sitting at the table
with his head in his hands.
Okay.
The toddlers not understanding
and going,
yay Kate,
and singing happy birthday.
And the teenage daughter
who understands what's going on.
Right.
Just filming the whole thing
for TikTok.
Have a listen.
We're going to sing happy birthday
to daddy's girlfriend Kelly
because he messaged her
happy birthday on Facebook.
Mommy went through a spot
so she needs to be like family.
So we're all going to sing to her.
Are you ready?
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
All right, Eric, you can blow her.
Good job.
You want to lick the icing?
You are sick.
I want to lick the icing.
Mom, you are sick.
You're sick in the head.
You're sick in the head.
You're sick.
The videos had two million views on TikTok.
Sorry, the woman's name was Kelly, not Kate.
You understand, right?
Can you even frigging imagine?
So it's one thing to do it, but then it gets uploaded to TikTok.
Game over.
Yeah, like goes viral.
You're not recovering from that.
Everyone's embarrassed.
Yeah.
Couldn't she have just done the normal thing and cut up his clothes or something?
Also, imagine being Kelly.
Yeah, poor Kelly.
I mean, fun having a birthday thrown for you.
She didn't even get any cake. Dean points for rewards. Easy. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Fletchbourne and Megan a listen too?
