Zed-M!
Let's go, go, go!
Now let me see you dance!
Zed-M's, Brie and Clint.
Good afternoon everybody, welcome to the show.
It is a Friday afternoon and we are feeling good.
I just, do you remember when you used to make a fart noise with your armpit?
Right, is that what we're starting with?
Yeah, why not? It's a Friday.
Armpit farts.
Yeah.
Can you do it?
I can't do it anymore.
I've lost that talent as an adult.
Did you used to be able to do it with your knee as well?
Yes.
Why do you think it is?
Do you think it's because as we get older, we get hairier and the hair breaks the seal
so you're not able to get that real sort of farty air release out?
Mate, I've had laser on my entire body.
I'm bald from the eyebrows down.
Yeah, well, then you've got no excuses.
I think it's because your skin isn't as elastic.
Like, it's a lot more loose.
So you don't get that pop.
Right.
Well, we can investigate together.
Can you do it?
Can you try and do it now?
You need to pull down the music.
Pull down the music.
Okay, hold on.
Put the mic right near your armpit.
No.
There's nothing coming out.
Hey, I'm proud of you.
And I need some deodorant.
I'm proud of you for giving it a shot.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
We have more from our bisexual today.
We've spent the day photographing her dates.
That is so much fun.
We've got everybody locked down.
We know who she's going to date.
She doesn't know, but we have all the boys
and all the girls that she will date from Monday.
There's videos.
You're all going to see it on Monday.
She's going to date her first set of people on Monday.
And I love how within the team here,
we're already putting bets on who she's going to pick.
I've already got my one locked down.
I'm locking my bets down too.
Next, though, we have news from our roving correspondent, Mama Di,
who at the moment is in the Big Apple.
Yes, my mum is on the streets of New York,
and her and her twin sister, let me just say,
when you put them together, they make bad choices.
I'm in trouble.
I'm going to tell you about one of those choices they've made in New York next.
This is Cascada.
Oh, banger.
What a gem.
Oh, my God.
Friday Gems, Zidim.
Zidim's brain clamped.
Hey, at the moment, my mum, lucky enough to be travelling around America,
and she's in New York.
Her, her twin sister, her other sister, their nephew,
and one of their partners all travelling the States at the moment.
I've seen you share a couple of her holiday snaps in your Instagram story.
She is just, her trip makes me happy.
The picture of her trying to grab the tip of the Empire State Building while she's standing on the top of the rock,
I'm like, you get it, Mama Di, you get it.
She's totally missed it.
She went to Graceland, which is Elvis' estate,
which has been literally her bucket list thing her entire life.
She turned 60 this year and she said,
nah, that's my birthday present to myself.
So it's so cute seeing her.
Her and her twin sister. Yeah. Her and her twin sister.
Yeah, her and her twin sister.
They're absolutely killing it.
But my mum sent me a video this morning.
Picture this.
They're on the streets of New York.
My auntie Julie, my mum's twin sister,
has picked something up off the sidewalk
and she's taken it up to the hotel room
and my mum has filmed it and she's sent it to to the hotel room, and my mum has filmed it, and she's
sent it to me.
Take a listen.
Hang on.
It's Tuesday, 9.30, New York.
Julie Johnson has found a suitcase on the streets of Manhattan.
We're checking it out.
We're worried that there could be some crack involved, and that's in Julie's underpants.
I reckon it's just sort of about the patches.
And here's the bread that she took from the restaurant.
You took from the restaurant?
So what you'll have to do is think about what you're going to do.
Julie found this on the streets of Manhattan
and now she's ripping all the stickers off it.
She found a suitcase on the street. They've now she's ripping all the stickers off it. What?
She found a suitcase on the street.
They've taken it up to the hotel.
And they're opening it.
If there's one place in the world
where if I found a suitcase sitting on the street,
I would not open it.
It's probably in downtown New York City.
I've said to my mum,
what are you guys doing?
What if it was a bomb?
She said,
Julie, her twin,
has bought a heap of stuff
and she was going to have to buy another bag.
She's seen this free one on the
side of the street, so she
thought, I'll just take that.
What was
inside it? Nothing. Oh, nothing.
Nothing was inside it.
And I'm like, that's probably waiting for a drug
dealer to do a drop or something.
I wouldn't be transporting that suitcase back to Australia with her.
It's probably cocaine all through that bag.
What if it's got built into the lining?
She's in for a real Chappelle Corby situation here.
Actually, I didn't even think about that.
There could be something in the lining.
Or either that or it could be covered in kind of residue or...
I'm thinking it was a piece of trash that someone's thrown out onto the sidewalk.
You find yourself all the way to New York,
just spend the extra $25 and get an extra bag.
Just buy an extra bag.
We'll post the video onto our Instagram, at Bree and Clint.
It's so ridiculous.
The bag looks a little bit beat up, but my Aunty Julie's loving it.
We want to ask you, on800 dial ZM this afternoon,
what did you pick up off the side of the road?
Oh yeah. What did you get
from the side of the road? Was it valuable?
Was it? Maybe it was a
couch and you're still using it
today? Road scores.
Road scores.
You can text us on 9696
or call us on 0800 dial ZM.
Maybe you did pick up something illegal.
Maybe you picked up something and you're like,
oh God, now this has got my fingerprints on it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I stole a couch from the side of the road.
Yeah, we know that and you need to stop telling that story.
Give us a call.
0800-DARLS-NM.
Zee is brilliant, Clint.
So my mum at the moment is loose on the streets of New York City.
Her, her twin sister, her other sister,
a bunch of other crazy family members.
I feel like they need a guide, like a local, to go,
no, no, no, no, don't go there.
No, no, no, no, no, don't talk to those people.
No, no, no, no, don't pick up a random suitcase
off the side of the road,
take it back into your hotel room and open it
and then take it through customs.
Honestly, only my Aunty Julie would do something like this.
I can't believe my mum sent me this video and she wrote,
ha-ha, so funny.
Did you want to play it again?
Yeah, let's play it again.
This is them picking up a suitcase.
This is back in the hotel?
Yeah, so they've picked it up off the streets of New York City
and then they've taken it back to the hotel room.
Hang on.
Tuesday, 9.30, New York.
Julie Johnson has found a suitcase on the streets of Manhattan.
We're checking it out.
We're worried that there could be some crack involved and that's in Julie's underpants.
I reckon it's just sort of about the patches.
And here's the bread that she took from the restaurant.
You took from the restaurant?
So what you'll have to do is think about what you're going to do.
Julie found this on the streets of Manhattan
and now she's ripping all the stickers off it.
Is that your mum in the background going, get into it?
Rip it open?
Get the stickers off.
Because Julie's bought too much stuff, my Aunty Julie,
and she thought, oh, here's my opportunity to save money
and just take this suitcase.
Free luggage.
Oh, God.
We're asking you, what have you found on the street?
The text machine.
Oh, my God.
It is a riot this afternoon.
Someone has texted and said,
while walking home from the pub
at university, we found a keg abandoned on the footpath.
We took it back to our hostel to care for it.
Nurse it.
That's amazing.
There's also some really grim ones.
I found a pair of underwear that weren't great.
They were soiled.
What are you doing with those?
On the streets.
On the streets.
Some things are on the street for a reason.
On the street.
What?
On the street.
On the streets of Nelson.
I did not keep the underwear.
No shit.
Some shit, I think. Rebecca, kia ora. not keep the underwear. No shit. Some shit, I think.
Rebecca, kia ora, welcome to the show.
What did you pick up from the side
of the road?
I was at my local dog park one day and a woman
had obviously decided that her child didn't need
it anymore, but next to the rubbish
bin was one of those kids
foam couches that folds out.
I know, the kitty couches.
Yeah, I know the ones.
The kitty couches.
Yeah.
And I thought that would make an excellent dog bed.
It would.
So I took it and then it was manhandled part.
So I gave it a good scrub and left it out in the sun for about 24 hours.
Yeah.
And the dog absolutely loved it.
Great deal.
What a great score.
That's upcycling.
That is upcycling.
Yeah, well done.
It's good because it's navy and it absorbs the sun
so on cold days it's... Yeah, no, we get it.
It doesn't matter what colour it is. You've done a great job.
You're a pioneer, Rebecca. Nice work. Dirty undies?
No. Possible upcycled
dog bed? Yes. Marissa,
what did you pick up from the side of the road and take home?
I found a wallet and
it turned out to have $500 on it.
Oh, where? Whoa.
Okay, Marissa, I don't know if we've used a real name or not.
Did the wallet make it to the police station?
The wallet did make it to the police station.
Did the cash make it to the police station?
The cash also made it there.
I couldn't because I thought it was an old lady or, you know,
so I work for my money as well.
Marissa, it's people like you that give me hope
that there's still a couple of good people left.
Did they look you up and go,
oh, you returned my wallet, here's some sort of thank you?
No, I didn't hear anything back.
But hopefully the wallet got returned from the cop shop.
Does part of you go,
I should have taken some of that bloody money?
No, not really.
I'm glad you took it back, I wouldn't have.
Thanks, Marissa.
Finally, Amy,
what did you find
on the side of the road
and take home?
Not me,
but my fiancé
was at a guy's trip
in Taupo
and was throwing out
his McDonald's sundae,
looked in the bin
and found a jacket
and decided to take it.
What kind of jacket?
Kind of like a trench coat jacket.
It's really hideous.
And I try and bury it in the wardrobe,
but he keeps bringing it out every winter.
This is your partner that is wearing this rubbish jacket?
Yes.
I know.
It's a bin jacket.
It's a bin jacket.
And you know how proud he is of it?
Yeah, I can imagine.
I know what dudes are like.
It's a bin jacket.
Yeah, yeah. And he'll be pumped because he paid no money for it, proud he is of it? Yeah, I can imagine. I know what dudes are like. He's in a jacket. Yeah, yeah.
And he'll be pumped because he paid no money for it,
and he stumbled across it.
He'll be like, the jacket fell on me, Amy.
Yeah, exactly.
Have you offered to, like, buy him a new jacket?
We've all offered to buy him a new jacket.
Everyone's offered to buy him a new jacket, but he will not leave it.
Yeah, but it's got character, you know?
It's got sentimental value.
My friend Kacen. It's for the story. Yeah? It's got sentimental value. My friend Kacen...
It's for the story.
Yeah, it's for the story.
My friend Kacen, the exact same thing.
She goes, oh, see this jacket?
I found this on the beach.
I said, what do you mean you found it on the beach?
She goes, yeah, it was with a pair of shoes.
I was like, that's someone's jacket that's gone for a swim.
That went in a swim.
You idiot.
Zee is brilliant.
Brilliant Clint present The Bisexualer.
Hi, I'm Annalise.
I'm 23 years old, a student, and I live in Auckland,
and I'm the bisexualer.
Yeah, she is, and she's in the studio with us right now,
and she's got sunglasses on inside.
Are you hungover?
No, not at all.
Yeah, you are.
I just can't see.
You did Fact of the Day pub quiz last night with Fletch, Vaughn and Megan.
So you sure you're not hungover?
Definitely not.
It's okay if you are.
Can I just say, Annalise last night had a few drinks, got a bit sassy.
I've picked up my phone.
So we've all put our phones into a jar.
Yeah.
And then right at the end of the night, because you're not allowed to cheat, obviously, during the pub quiz.
Yeah.
And then I've picked up my phone and one of the notifications was
I've been super liked on Tinder.
Oh, yeah.
And Annalise was like, ooh, ooh.
And then I went into Tinder and this super like has come up
and I was like, eh, not for me.
And Annalise has tried to swipe right on it.
Grabbed my phone off me.
That's good work.
Mate, I'm setting you up.
You're not setting me up.
You were asking for it.
Just putting it right there in front of me. That's good work. Mate, I'm setting you up. You're not setting me up. You were asking for it. Just putting it right there.
Was I?
Was I?
Hey, Annalise, our bisexualer,
who next week will date three boys and three girls
in a quest to find love
and then go on a romantic overseas trip
with the one person that you whittle everyone down to,
we've spent the day photographing and videoing your dates.
We've spent quite a lot of time with them today.
And I don't want to pat ourselves on the back too much but we have found
a cool group of people. We've done well
I must say and
just so you know Annalise, all of us
here at the Brain Clint Show, producer Ellie
producer Ben, Clint and myself, we've
picked our winner. Yeah. Like we
everyone's picked. Have you made bets?
Yeah we have made bets on. Yeah yeah.
So you better pick the person I put
We had to ask you a whole bunch of like kind of awkward questions
to get to know you and get those little audio bites of you for this.
We've been asking those people the same question
and we wanted to focus in on one question in particular.
Remember when we asked you about kissing?
Yeah, we asked you, do you kiss on the first date?
Do you remember what you said?
I said no.
Did I? Yeah, I said no. Did I?
Yeah, I said no.
Yeah, you said no.
You said, I don't think I'll kiss anyone too soon.
Does that mean you won't kiss anyone on any dates
or just the first dates?
I actually thought that was last night.
I was talking to my mum and I was like,
I don't think I'll do it.
Three weeks just seems too soon to me for some reason.
But it depends on the person, obviously.
Right.
But if you're in the real world, you'd kiss someone in three weeks.
Surely.
Yeah, I guess so.
But I thought because it's going to be a lot of pressure as well.
True.
If I got to a third date with someone and we hadn't kissed yet,
I'd think things were going a bit.
I would friend zone that person.
Yeah.
If we hadn't kissed, I'd be like, oh, well, we're friends.
You guys pretty much tell me
that I have to kiss someone.
Well, it kind of sounds like that, right?
Yeah, you're going to have
to add a pressure of cameras
and radio microphones,
but I don't know.
I think it's just the idea
that I have to think about
other people's feelings as well.
Yeah.
It's like, I don't want to go around
kissing every single one.
Oh, no.
Have you watched Bachelor Australia?
Yeah, the honey badger.
He's passionate everybody.
I love that show.
He's kissing everyone.
He pashed like 14 girls
in the first episode.
Okay, that's an exaggeration.
You've said how you feel and that's fine.
Would you like to hear how some of the dates feel
about kissing on the first date specifically?
This is the first time you're going to hear some of your daters.
Yeah.
You want to hear it?
Mm-hmm.
Of course you want to hear it.
Of course.
I'm so excited. I'm so nervous, but I want to know. So who have we got first-hmm. So of course you wanna hear it. Of course, like I'm so excited,
so nervous, but like so do I wanna know.
So who have we got first?
I'm gonna give you one of the boys.
Cool. Okay?
This is how one of our mystery men
feels about kissing on first dates.
When it comes to kissing on the first date,
I feel like there shouldn't be any pressure to do it,
but you know, if the moment's there, then go for it.
But yeah, usually wait for the
second date i love the sound of his voice actually into it okay do you want to hear what one of the
girls has to say sure i know i do oh gosh here you go kissing on first dates from one of your
secret female dates when it comes to the first date and kissing i'll probably be very nervous
but enjoy it, I hope.
I hope she enjoys it too, if it happens.
This means I know that someone's going to go in for it,
go in for the kill, and I'm going to be like, no.
Wow, she's expecting it, it sounds like.
Oh, gosh.
She's expecting to seal the deal.
Oh, I can tell you're so nervous now.
You'll be fine.
We're going to have a bodyguard there.
It'll be fine.
Yeah, we'll have to.
Might need more than one by the sounds of it.
Your date with six people, three boys and three girls as the bisexual will begin on
Monday.
Good luck.
What are you going to spend the weekend doing?
Waxing?
Grooming?
Practising kissing?
I just bought an outfit actually.
Did you?
Is that for Monday?
Yeah.
Okay.
You'll meet the boys on Monday.
Zinni is brilliant, Clint.
How long have we been doing this show for?
Three.
About three months?
About three months.
Do you want to hear about last night when I got recognised for the first time?
Oh, yes.
So this week we've been working pretty hard.
We've been doing long hours and for a couple of nights in a row
I've been making a trip to my local McDonald's to get some food.
Oh, no.
Late at night.
Yeah.
I got recognised at my local McDonald's last night.
So I went through the drive-through and I've been ordering the same thing every night.
Late at night.
I've been having a really big craving for chocolate fudge sundaes.
Oh, yeah.
Hot fudge.
Yeah.
Bit of ice cream.
Yeah.
I like to get the regular size one and then double the fudge. Oh, yeah. Hot fudge. Yeah. Bit of ice cream. Yeah. I like to get the regular size one and then double the fudge.
Oh, okay.
I'm keen on the double fudge,
but I don't want all the ice cream that the large one brings.
Well, you obviously have your order down pat.
Yeah.
You've had it enough that you know what you like.
I know what I like and I've ordered it a couple of nights in a row
and last night I went through the drive-through and I've said,
can I please get a hot fudge sundae, double the fudge, regular?
Yep, please drive through.
I've got to the window and the guy looks at me and goes, oh, I know you.
And I thought, oh, here we go.
I've been recognised from the radio.
It's happened.
Finally.
Officially New Zealand famous.
Officially I've been recognised. Yes, I said, yes, it's happened. Finally. Officially New Zealand famous. Officially I've been recognised.
Yes, I said yes, it's me.
He turns around and yells to his colleagues,
it's double fudge, girl.
Make sure you get double fudge in there.
She's crazy.
That is the equivalent of being recognised at the bottle store.
Like you're recognised for your problem.
Literally rock bottom.
Yeah.
Not only did they know that I've been multiple nights in a row,
they recognised me as the double fudge girl.
You are double fudge girl.
Hey, congratulations.
Thanks, mate.
Yeah, pretty proud.
All right, cool, cool, yeah.
ZDM's Bree and Clint.
Hey, it's my birthday, it's my birthday.
Bree and Clint's Birthday Banger.
Right, this is where we get your birthdays
and we figure out what was top of the charts
on your 16th birthday here in New Zealand.
Every single person who comes on for Birthday Banger today,
whether they win or not, will go away with free fuel.
Yeah, so everyone that calls the show today and gets on air,

There we go.
First up, let's go with...
Waitangi.
Waitangi, kia ora.
Hello.
Kia ora.
What's your birthday?
6th of February.
Can you believe it?
Is that serious?
That's amazing.
Wait, your birthday is Waitangi Day?
Yes, definitely.
That's amazing.
Wow, that kind of makes sense, right?
Yeah.
Because they want to had you and then go,
hey, what a great idea.
Yeah, I like it.
Okay.
All right, Waitangi, you were 16 in 1998.
19 what?
What have I written here?
75.

75. Hang on. Wait, 19, what have I written here? 75. 19. 75.
Hang on, hang on.

Yes.
Okay.
That makes you 16 in 1995?
Yes.
Yeah, 95.

Anyway, you were 16 sometime, and this is your birthday banger.
This is Silverchair.
Do you know this song, Waitangi?
No, sorry.
Silverchair, Tomorrow.
Silverchair, great Aussie band, but not the perfect birthday banger, unfortunately.
That's okay.
Welcome to the show, Liz. Hi, Liz. Hi. Hi, guys. How you doing? Good. How are you? I'm good the perfect birthday banger, unfortunately. That's okay. Welcome to the show, Liz.
Hi, Liz.
Hi. Hi, guys. How you doing?

I'm good. It's Friday afternoon.
Yeah. So good. What's your birthday, Liz?
The 9th of June, 87.
Okay, Liz, you were 16 in 2003 on the 9th of June. I think I might have a feeling what
your birthday banger is.
You get Evanescence in Bring Me to Life.
I can roll with that.
Can you?
Here's a question, Liz.
Is it okay to play Evanescence on the radio in 2018?
I think for today and being a banger, we need a rock out to that.
Okay.
We need to get into our weekend with some Evanescence.
I like this. I like your attitude.
I like her attitude.
She's fighting for a song.
You've got some free fuel from Mobile either way, though, so congratulations.
Awesome.
Thanks, guys.
Cool.
Finally, David.
Hi, David.
Hi, David.
Hello.
How's it going?
Good.
What's your birthday, Dave?
24th of March, 1995.
Okay, David.
You were 16 in 2011 on the 24th of March,
and this was Top of the Charts.
Bang up.
This is J-Lo and Pitbull.
This is going to be very hard to go past, David.
Awesome.
I'll try that.
Okay, cool.
Sweet.
I love Pitbull, can I say. You love Pitbull? And I'm okay with saying that on the radio. Okay, cool, sweet. I love Pitbull, can I say.
You love Pitbull?
And I'm okay with saying that on the radio.
Yeah, that's cool.
Did you want to do...
Yeah, I actually got Annalise, our bisexual, his birthday.
Thought we could throw that on the end this afternoon.
Annalise, what's your birthday?
My birthday is the 4th of June, 1995.
Okay, Annalise, you were 16 in 2011 on the 4th of June.
And back in 2011, this was top of the chart.
Banger.
Party rock anthem.
Is this 2011?
This is 2011.
Back when no one had lenses inside their sunglasses.
Red food.
I think we know what we're doing though, right?
I think we all know what we're doing.
J-Lo, pitbull, what a combo.
J-Lo.
David, we're playing your birthday banger.
Congratulations.
Awesome.
Oh, cheers.
Mr. Worldwide.
Got some free fuel for you too.
Thanks to Mobile, ZM, Bree and Clint.
ZM, Bree and Clint, that is the birthday banger for today
from J-Lo and Pitbull for Dave.
It's called On The Floor.
Pop quiz.
How old is J-Lo?
49.
Did you Google that?
Yep.
Ow.
Literally in the break, I'll get it.
Literally in the break, I Googled it.
She was born in 1969.
She is honestly, I was saying off air, I've met her in person.
One of the best looking people I've ever met in person.
Really?
She is unbelievable.
Intimidating or like?
She was really lovely.
Yeah.
But her skin is just flawless.
Yeah.
Well, she'll turn 50 next year and...
Still would.
Yeah.
Zedian's Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint present The Bisexualer.
Hi, I'm Annalise.
I'm 23 years old, a student, and I live in Auckland,
and I'm the bisexualer.
People started calling you that? They started calling you bisexualer?
All my friends.
Really?
Well, the ones I've seen at least, and my sister's partner actually.
I picked them up the other night, and they'd both had like a few drinks.
Yeah.
And he saw me and he was like, the bisexualer.
Are you, this is a real.
If you've missed it, you've just joined us.
We're on a quest to find Anne-Lise, you're bisexual,
and you're going to date across three weeks, three guys, three girls,
and hopefully you're going to find love.
We're going to see it all and record it all as well.
So we're going to go on those dates with you.
Pretty much.
This is a real question.
Have you taken yourself off dating apps while you do this?
I did it like last week, I think.
Oh, okay, cool. So you're
exclusive. Like if people
want to date you, they have to exclusively
date you on their show. Yep.
Excellent. Well, I mean
you said that it's exclusive.
Forever. But we've got six people
for you. Like how many do you really need? That's more than enough.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you're going to be pretty busy over the next three weeks or so.
I think so.
But we wanted to talk to you about obviously it's all about bisexual visibility
and you being a bisexual person,
obviously everyone has a story about how they kind of came to find that out
about themselves and their journey or whatever.
What was it like for you?
When did you realise and did you obviously have to tell your friends
and family?
How did that go for you?
Because obviously there's, you know, not so great stories for people
and then some stories are really positive.
What happened with you?
For me, it was a really, really good outcome.
I think I'd been talking to my best friend about it for a while
and then eventually, like literally the day of Pride,
I woke up and just told her and she was like, yes.
What made you think about yourself like, maybe I'm bisexual?
It's something that I'd always kind of like contemplated, I guess,
or like thought that it, just like thought that that was a possibility
and then like you, I kind of, it was that part when I was finally single
that I got to figure,
I had the chance to figure myself out
and like really discover who I was.
So it was like that,
at that point in my life where I figured it out, I guess.
How convenient that you figured it out on Pride Day.
I know, I literally woke up on the day.
What a celebration.
It's like figuring out you're Santa
on the day of the Santa parade.
It was like your bi birthday.
Pride is your bi birthday.
I love that.
And how did your family react?
They reacted really well.
I told, I remember if I told my mum or my sister first,
but I think I told my mum first and she was proud of me that I said something.
I told my sister and she was like, I knew it.
Really?
Because that's always like kind of a shock well to some people maybe when someone says I always knew
yeah and then you're kind of thinking how I think like one of the reasons why I might have withheld
actually telling her was because I knew that she thought that because she'd always like make slight
digs or like and I'd kind of just like my eyes and be like, maybe it is time.
Okay, so you told your mum and your sister.
Did you tell your dad?
I didn't tell my dad, actually.
I just kind of just didn't think about it
because my dad was on a different schedule to me,
so I never really saw him that much when I did come out.
But my dad actually approached me at one of my other best friends' 21st,
and he came up to me and he was like,
so, maybe you're going to tell mebed you a bye and I was like oh shit
oh and how did he react
he was like
oh like why didn't you tell me like
why didn't you think you could tell me I was like I'm so sorry
like it literally just slipped my mind I just
didn't even think about it so was he more
upset that you hadn't felt
like you could tell him
yeah I think I think that
was he was like you know you can come to me
and tell me whatever
and I'll be fine.
And like ever since that day,
I tell my dad literally everything.
Because he's the one
that actually suggested
you should go on a bisexual date.
So like ever since,
I guess ever since then,
our relationship's gotten
so much better
and I'm like way more open
with my parents as well
about things,
especially my dad.
Sounds like you've got
an amazing relationship
with your family and friends,
which is really nice.
Yeah, we're generally really, really open with each other.
We've always had talks about very intimate things, I guess.
Really?
Not specific details, but we've always been really open.
This is happening.
I was going to say, yeah.
There was one point where I was very secretive on who I was dating
because I wanted to keep it to myself
and I wasn't sure where it was going.
When was that?
Maybe a year or so ago.
Maybe before then.
I can't actually remember.
Around the time when you were seeing a lady?
No.
Was this person a woman?
Yeah, it was a guy.
It was a guy?
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you think your parents have any preference who you end up with?
Do you think they want you to end up with a boy or a girl
or they genuinely don't care?
I know that my mum wants grandkids so she'll obviously push for a guy.
But like it's possible either way.
But I don't know.
I was going to say, guess what?
You can have kids either way now.
Yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
But I'm like don't know.
They haven't actually had, they haven't actually mentioned anything like that which is good
because then I don't feel like there's pressure to pick someone.
And I was going to say, I think that's important to kind of say that you should never really kind of pressure someone
into who they choose because that should be up to the person
and you never want that in the back of your mind
because you want to fall in love with who you fall in love with.
Oh, hang on.
Exactly.
Hang on, we've got bits on.
I'm going to be pressuring you a lot into who I want you to end up with.
Well, yeah, the contestants that we've got for you,
we have all put bits on, so.
You can't put a price on love, okay?
Well, we've put a free trip overseas on it,
a romantic holiday for you and a friend.
So there is a price.
There is a price at the end of it.
Not a friend.
Sorry, you and the person you choose.
Yes.
You and a lover.
Oh, you're really getting into this now.
I like it.
I love how you're like, nah, I'm going to find someone,
we're going to go on this overseas trip,
and when we come back, we're going to be together.
She's gone to Ruby, she's bought herself a new outfit,
and on Monday, she will begin dating six people at one time.
And Alyssa, you're our bisexual.
Good luck. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you.
ZDM's brilliant clip.
Hey, did you see this article that they released
about actors who have had near-death experiences on set?
No.
It's full on.
Yeah.
Like, full on.
And we're talking A-list celebrities.
Yeah.
So Harrison Ford, which is one of the main ones that they were talking about in this
article, he went on the Jimmy Fallon show a couple of years ago and he talked about
how the time he nearly, well, he broke his leg on the set of Star Wars.
Take a listen.
What happened to you though?
Something fell on you and you broke your leg, right?
Yeah.
Something.
Do you remember this? I was worried about you, though? Something fell on you and you broke your leg, right? Yeah, something. Do you remember this?
I was worried about you.
They closed that door on you.
No, no, Harrison.
Yeah, all right.
No, JJ did it.
JJ Abrams?
As far as I know.
So he got his leg broken on the stars when he was an old man,
not when he was a young man.
Yeah, recently.
He broke both bones and dislocated his ankle.
That's full on. I wonder if he's one of those guys
who does his own stunts like Tom Crutes.
Because Star Wars, there's a lot of
sliding through doors as they're closing.
I feel like that's one of the main pillars of
Star Wars. Slide through the doors
just as they're closing. But he's used to
sliding under things. Indiana Jones.
Yeah. That's the whole bit
from Indiana Jones, right?
He's one of the best.
So this article also talks about Uma Thurman.
She nearly died.
I saw this.
Was this Kill Bill?
Yes.
In the car crash thing.
Yeah.
Have you seen the footage of it?
It's brutal.
She's in this car and she's driving herself and she's on this sandy road and like she loses control and hits a palm tree.
Yeah.
She went to hospital. Yeah. She had like almost got her palm tree. Yeah. She went to hospital.
Yeah, she had like almost got her brain damaged.
Yeah, she had like bleeding on the brain.
It was full on.
So that's another one.
And there's also Sylvester Stallone in Rocky No More.
Oh, yeah.
He apparently said to this guy in this fight scene,
hit me as hard as you can.
And the guy did.
Hit me as hard as you can.
He ended up in intensive care. That was a pretty good Sylvester Stallone. Hit me as hard as you can and the guy did. Hit me as hard as you can. He ended up in
intensive care. That was a pretty good
Sylvester Stallone. Hit me as hard as you can.
This is the last Rocky movie
and hit me as hard as you can. Now do
after he got hit.
Oh.
He, anyway, not funny.
No, no, not, well, kind of.
He did too many.
He did too many fight scenes scenes Too many punches to the head
Too many doof doofs
Brendan Fraser in The Mummy
He did this scene where
He was, a noose was around his neck
He died for 18 seconds
What the
He actually died, they had to revive him
Oh, that's when you go too much.
Too far.
Yeah, sorry.
Sorry.
I know this has been fun.
Like how much am I being paid?
This is the last mummy.
I don't care how many more of these things you want to make.
Also, it's the movies.
Why does he have to get into a real noose?
Why can't they CGI a noose or like not have the noose rigged up or something?
I think the stand-in was a little bit taller than him.
Yeah.
And so he, when he was standing in it was obviously on his tiptoes.
Well, it says in here, I think he did.
He says, they killed me for 18 seconds.
Oh.
That's full on.
Do you remember Isla Fisher?
This is the last one in Now You See Me.
She's the one, Sacha Baron Cohen, married Sacha Baron Cohen? Yeah, so
she's the Aussie from Home and Away, you might remember
her. In the movie, it's about
magicians and there's this one scene
where she gets into this water tank
and she's tied up and she's in like
heels and like she's, it was all a bit
right? Yeah. In that scene, she
nearly drowned and people thought
and she was like saying, screaming,
let me out, like when she was in this tank.
Oh, no, this is my worst nightmare.
No joke.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she was like, let me out.
And her wrists and her ankles were tied up.
And everyone just thought she was acting like amazing.
Oh, Uma's such a, oh, what is it?
Isla.
Such a good actress.
Oh, that's my worst nightmare.
No, she was nearly drowning.
That's full on.
I don't know which one of those.
Because you can't even have a safe word underwater
Doesn't matter, no one can hear you
If I say bananas I need out
I'd just be getting a stunt double
Even for my acting because it'd be terrible
I'd be like yeah my stunt double will do that as well
Have you had a near death experience?
Yeah
Oh is it a bit traumatic?
I have, mine was a drowning one
Was it?
In scouts I had a kid sit on my shoulders in the diving pool
until I passed out.
That's horrible.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just remember taking, because you get to this point
and then your body goes, I can't stay here anymore,
and you actually take a breath underwater.
Yes, that's the point.
And there's nowhere to go.
No, and that's the last thing I remember.
And then I got onto the side of the pool and see people going.
That's terrifying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've been held at gunpoint before.
Have you?
Yeah.
Have you?
Yeah.
Where?
It was in a, I was 12 and it was in a home siege.
So it's not something I really talk about all that often.
It's actually pretty full on.
You don't have to talk about it by the way.
Yeah.
My mum and my nan were also there and there was a couple of-
Were you in a home invasion?
Yeah, a couple of guys.
Ooh.
So-
Was everyone okay?
Everyone was okay, but it's in those moments where you really-
Who's pointing a gun at a 12-year-old?
Who?
Yeah.
Ooh.
Pretty full on experience and I literally, you know where they say you're scared stiff? That's a real thing. Yeah. Pretty full-on experience. And I literally, you know where they say you're scared stiff?
That's a real thing.
Yeah.
And you kind of in that moment, you really think I'm going to die here.
Yeah.
And you truly believe it.
Wow.
It's a full-on experience.
It's not very nice.
Far out.
Yeah.
Did they catch the people?
They did.
Yeah.
They went to jail for a very long time.
That's good.
That's good.
Far out.
It's full-on.
Are you super paranoid about your home situation now because of that?
Like are you a full doors locked?
Yeah, I like to have a lot of locks, dead locks.
You like to be secure.
Yeah, yeah.
Understandable, yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, it's full on.
Well, do you want to?
Yeah, we want to put it out there this afternoon.
Do you want to or?
This is the question we've got written down.
Let's say it out loud and see if we actually want to ask it.
Okay, cool.
When did you nearly die?
0800.
Dolls at M.
Does it feel right saying it?
I mean, they didn't die.
Well, don't call us if you're not comfortable talking about it, I guess.
Yeah.
0800 Dolls at M.
When did you nearly die?
Let's see what we get, shall we?
Zinni is brilliant, Clint.
Near-death experiences.
We're talking about some of the big-time A-list celebrities
who have come out and told their stories
about how the times they've nearly died on set.
It's not worth dying at work.
Can I just say that?
If you're being put in a position where your life is at risk,
it's not worth it.
Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to think of jobs where, you know,
that would happen to people.
What about those guys that we see sometimes here at work
who clean the windows of the building?
Oh, they look like they love it though.
And they're abseiling down the building?
Yeah, yeah.
That's full on though.
Yeah, big gust of wind.
Yeah, that's their job.
I wonder if you get danger money for that sort of thing.
Don't know.
We've asked a pretty steep question this afternoon.
When did you nearly die?
When was your near-death experience?
You want to go straight to the phones?
Yeah, let's go straight to the phones.
Hey, Jazz.
Hi, Jazz.
Hi.
What happened?
So me and my partner used to be quite adventurous
with exploring places you're not supposed to go.
And in this gorge, there's some old mine shafts,
and it was a little bit further behind me,
and we got so far down.
It was like old-fashioned days when you needed a canary to find out if there's enough oxygen or not
and I actually passed out um luckily he was behind me um because he pulled me further back
towards where there was more oxygen and um put me into the recovery position and I came to
wow why did you do you know why you passed out?
Was it like a gas situation or just?
Not enough oxygen, yeah.
We were probably, I would say,
maybe 100 metres under the ground.
Wow.
Yeah, that's why there's signs on the gate saying,
do not enter, danger, mine shaft.
So what are your guys' plans this weekend?
Netflix?
Yeah.
Exploring, further exploring.
Okay, well, good on you, I guess.
We've got a canary now, though.
What, you literally have a canary?
No.
That was a joke.
It's on a smartphone.
Okay, cool.
On the text machine, someone's texted in.
They said, I was on a run in Fiji and got hit by a speeding van
at a pedestrian crossing.
Had a massive head trauma and 35 stitches to my scalp.
It took over a year to recover and I'm right as rain now,
but I certainly do not participate in any outdoor exercise anymore.
Great excuse, if nothing else.
It is a good excuse.
Someone texted us to say that,
no, you don't get danger money
for abseiling cleaning windows.
Really?
You just have to do it
for the love of clean windows, I guess.
All right.
Finally, Tim.
Hi.
Hey, how's it going?
Going good, mate.
Hi, Tim.
When was your near-death experience?
It was in March.
And what happened?
I'd just finished work.
I was driving in the work car,
and a giant, I think it was a logging truck or something,
come around the corner and smashed me and killed me.
And luckily, the lady from England,
travelling behind,
seeing the whole thing, and she jumped out and resuscitated me back to life.
And you mean you really died?
Yeah.
How did she resuscitate you, mouth to mouth?
Yeah, I think she done that for about CPR for about 40 minutes.
40 minutes this woman, can't you?
I have goosebumps all over my entire body.
Okay Tim
Oh my god.
Tim this might be
a bit too spiritual
but anything happen
when you died
did anything happen?
Um I can't really
remember that much.
You don't have like
a memory of an
out of body experience
or seeing a light
or anything like that?
No I don't.
And you're okay now Tim
everything's all good?
Um yeah I was Broken arm
Broken leg
I've got a middle leg now
You've got a middle leg
Yeah
Is that your mates
Laughing at you in the background
Is that what
Don't worry
It's all good
Hey what a story mate
Hey thank you for calling us
We're glad you're alright
So glad you're still okay
And you're here
Yeah
Yeah no I'm fine now.
Okay, cool, man.
God, he's so breezy about it.
Yeah, yeah,
he's very casual about it.
Yes, yeah, Dodd.
The guys in the background
are laughing like,
yeah, Tim's got a metal leg.
He's so shit at airports.
Yeah.
ZDM's Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint's
Cat Roulette.
I used to call me
on my cell phone.
It's Cat Roulette
where we take each other's phone
and we go into the contacts and we just hit scroll
and whatever it stops on that's who we ring.
Last week, we called an ex.
Yeah, it was my ex.
Your ex.
Sounded a little bit like this,
getting a random call from me on Bree's phone.
I decided it's a great idea,
probably in the middle of winter,
to jump in Bree's pool. We ended up, the middle of winter, to jump in Brie's pool.
We ended up, so me and my friend,
we jump in the pool.
We wake up the next morning.
Brie has given us a sheet to use as a towel.
So I can see how that was uncomfortable for you.
Oh, can you?
It's okay.
Yeah, we had to text after that.
Yeah, well, now you're back in contact.
Oh, it's great.
Love it.
What if I rekindle your romance?
It's okay because...
It's my turn.
I'm giving you my phone.
It's unlocked.
And you know my one rule.
It was stated yesterday.
What was the one rule?
No Richie McCaw.
Fine.
No Richie McCaw.
The only reason I'm playing by that rule is because
then I know we wouldn't get to play this game.
One, and let me also tell you, one day you'll benefit from that phone number too.
How?
I plan to use them for our show.
Just not for chat roulette.
For something better, you know?
When we need a helicopter somewhere and you want the all-black captain to fly us,
that's when we'll use his number.
When are we going to need that?
I don't know.
But not today.
Okay, you've given me a bit of time to have a look
through some people. A lot of your contacts
are just emails? Yeah, it's a very
old phone book. Oh, God.
Also, that's the problem with iMessage too.
I've just
went past someone. Clint Randall's in here.
Hiya from the edge.
Clint from the edge? Yeah.
Your arch nemesis. Well, no, I'm Clint from the
edge. He's Randall from the edge. Right, you'm Clint from The Edge. He's Randall from The Edge.
Right, you're Clint from The Edge.
He's Randall because you had already taken the name Clint.
Yeah.
Should we call him?
You can call him.
Let's give him a call.
See what he's up to.
He'll be looking after his kids, I think.
Oh, his kids are so damn cute.
Yeah.
So cute.
Yeah.
It's ringing.
He might hate me. You reckon? Well, just because I'm the reason he had to change his ringing. He might hate me.
You reckon?
Well, just because I'm the reason he had to change his name.
Get in, mate.
Hi, Clint.
It's Bree from ZM.
How are you?
Pretty good.
What's going on?
Not too much.
Hey, we play this game on our show called Chat Roulette where each of us get to have
each other's phones and we get to randomly call one number and your name came up and
I thought, hmm, he's the perfect person to call.
Oh, the real Clint, the OG.
I wanted to get it straight, Randall.
Who is the real Clint from The Edge?
Is it you or is it my mate, Clinton Roberts?
How old is Clinton Roberts?
He's 31.
Oh, see, I had the name for a good two years before he was even alive.
Are you 33?
Are you 33, Randall?
Yeah, I'm 33.
Damn.
Yeah, yeah.
So you're saying because you were born first,
you should be the original Clint from the Edge.
Yeah, and then obviously Clint was Clint at the Edge before I was Clint at the Edge.
So then I got stuck with Randall and then he pissed off through another radio station
10 months after me changing it and having it plastered on billboards around the country.
Can you have, can I ask you a quick question?
No, no, no.
I want to ask, what do you want to ask him?
Who has the email address clintattheedge.co.nz?
Who has the, do you have the email now, clintattheedge?
I don't, but I'm going to email about that very, very soon
after I get off the phone.
It's still mine.
It's still mine.
Now we've squashed it.
Clint Randall is Clint from The Edge.
He's the hot Clint in the everything.
All right.
All right.
We love you, Randall, and your kids are adorable.
Thanks for talking.
Cheers, team.
And, yeah, love the show, Bree and Robert.
It's great.
See you, Clint.
Yeah, see you, team.
Bye.
Let's be real, though.
You're the only Clint for me.
See you, Brie and Clint.
Did you see this video that's come out on Facebook about manspreading?
The girl on the subway?
Yeah.
I did see this, yeah.
On subways and she's sick of guys manspreading on the subway
so she's pouring bleach into their crotch.
For those who don't know and most will be dudes,
can you give a quick explanation for what manspreading is?
So manspreading, usually when you're on public transport
or maybe sitting next to someone,
and usually guys, because it's called manspreading,
love to sit with their legs really far apart
and just get all up into your space.
Big, wide-open legs.
Big, wide-open legs.
Happens a bit at gigs, like if you go to Spark Arena
or Horncastle or something,
and the seats are quite close together
because dudes like to get a wide stance, knees out,
and they like to lean into it and put an elbow on each knee as well.
They love to air out the jewels.
Well, that's what it looks like.
Is that what it's about?
Some people believe it's like a primitive thing where you go,
the wider you spread them, the bigger they think the bit in between will be.
And there's no proof that there's any kind of correlation.
They love to give some room for the dingles.
Yeah.
This happened to me literally last weekend.
Remember I said to you?
On our Air New Zealand flight?
Yeah, because we went to Taranaki and I said to you after we got off the flight,
I said the guy sitting next to me was taking the piss.
Hard to man spread on a plane because you've got an arm back.
There's no room on a plane as it is.
When I got onto the flight and we were on a tiny plane,
it was very small.
The seats were 2-2, right?
2-2.
And when I got onto the plane, he had already sat down,
already fallen asleep or so he made it look like.
He had his arm right on the armrest and he was manspreading
like there was no tomorrow.
It was so bad I had to pull my right arm because he was sitting
on the right of me.
I had to pull my right arm and hold my left shoulder
with my right arm.
You know, I heard an interesting rule when it comes to the hierarchy
of plane seats and what you're entitled to.
It doesn't really work for a 2-2.
But if you've got three seats,
window gets the window,
aisle gets the aisle,
and middle gets both the armrests.
That's fair.
That's what you get for sitting in.
Isn't that a great bit of diplomacy?
That is so fair.
Because the middle's sandwiched between two sweaty people they don't know.
You get both the armrests.
So what does that mean?
He should have got the window
and I should have got the armrest.
Yeah.
He was so far over, like his leg was all up in my leg area business.
I've been manspread before.
You've been manspreaded.
Spread on.
You've been spread on.
Yeah.
And so I can kind of simplify this.
And when we went to Europe for our honeymoon,
it was on the Tube in London.
And there was a guy, quite a well-dressed young guy,
and he was full manspreading, like full, like knees flayed
and then hunched over, elbows on the knees,
using his phone down between his legs.
Was he Flamin' Yong?
He is Flamin' Yong.
And short of going, oi, shut your legs, I tried everything.
I tried pushing back with my knee
I tried like awkwardly grazing him
I even tried like sliding my leg up and down his a little bit
So that he would go
So that he'd go
Well that's creepy
I just wanted him to know that he was in my personal space
But he didn't get the message at all
Do you know those people that just don't have any awareness of other people's personal space?
No.
Do you think you're one of those people?
No, I think I don't have any awareness
for people's personal indoor volume.
I think I'll burst in and be a bit too rowdy for a situation.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
Back to this girl, though, who's protesting.
Yeah.
So she's going around and...
Is this the one she's pouring bleach on?
She throws bleach into their crotch. See, I... That's a. Yeah. So she's going around and, is this the one she's pouring bleach on? She throws bleach into their crotch.
See, I, um.
That's a bit far.
I'm all for dudes staying within their personal space,
but don't bleach a guy.
I mean, what if they're his favourite pair of jeans?
Yeah.
What if the bleach goes.
It's really hard to find a pair of jeans you love.
I hate buying jeans.
Imagine if it goes through to his DMB.
To the DBs. Yeah. To the dingle goes through to his DMB. To the DBs?
Yeah.
To the dingleberries?
To his DMBs, and he gets bleach on them.
They'll burn.
And how are you going to explain it to his girlfriend when he gets home,
and he's got bleach pubes, you know what I mean?
Zinian's brain clipped.
I went and did a, I guess you'd call it a yoga class the other day at the gym.
And I'm not a very yoga guy.
What do you mean you guess you'd call it a yoga class the other day at the gym. And I'm not a very yoga guy. What do you mean you guess you'd call it a yoga class?
Well, it's kind of like a combination of stretching and some Tai Chi stuff and some yoga poses as well.
Was it yoga lardies?
No, it wasn't yoga lardies.
Well, it might be.
It was called body balance.
I noticed that your bum was a lot tighter.
Let me transport you there for a second.
Oh, this is nice.
And I've got to say, I was not the most bendy or capable person in the class.
Just forget about all your worries.
It did involve 10 minutes of meditation at the end.
You're in a rainforest.
Yeah.
Why do they all talk like that? Why are you always in a rainforest?
Yeah.
What's so calming about a rainforest?
There's snakes and stuff in there.
I'm thinking about snakes, yeah.
Something happened that I, in the back of my mind, I think knew would happen, but I hoped wouldn't happen.
You didn't.
I didn't.
But there was a lady.
When people relax.
Beside me.
Who, at the midway point of the class
Had probably fully
Relaxed
Let one rip
I'm assuming
Well I heard a noise
What did the noise sound like?
It could have been a few things
It could have been a few things
And here's me
Wanting to believe the best
Could have been
It was quite high pitched
Like it was being like
Like it was trying to be held in
but it just still. Oh no.
But I just went with it.
I was like, I'm not going to turn around and turn to this lady who I've
never met in the middle of a very calm, very relaxing
yoga class and say to her,
did you just do that?
So I just rolled with it.
Just rolled with it. I mean, it could have been
her foot rubbing on the yoga mat.
On the rubbery yoga mat, right?
Yeah, on the usually Lululemon.
They're kind of sticky.
Absolutely.
And everyone's barefoot in a yoga class too.
Could have been that.
Could have absolutely been that.
I mean, it could have been a fluff.
So we lie down for the relaxation time.
Okay, I'm just going to picture it.
Directly after that noise.
Lie down.
And I just get the most
horrific scent
go
straight up my nose.
And I mean like,
what are you eating?
Like how bad?
Like, you know when someone's on a
have you ever lived with a gym person
who's on like a high protein
Oh, my brother used to do the worst.
Yes.
And you go, please.
High protein, high fats diet.
Lay off the shakes because it is just, you may look good to your partner, but inside you're rotten.
And at that moment I knew she'd done it.
I knew she'd done it because then I'd heard it and I'd smelt it.
I mean, at least you can take solace in the fact of, you know,
it rules out the other thing it could have been.
Oh, yeah, I wouldn't think it was that.
Are you talking about the other kind of?
What?
No, I didn't think it was that.
Fanny fart.
Here's the thing.
She leans over to me on our mats because we're lying down
and just very quietly she leans over to me and she goes...
Oh, no, she didn't.
It's okay.
It happens quite often in here.
She's blaming me.
She's blaming me as if I'm the one who's made this...
Maybe you were so relaxed that you didn't realise.
No, excuse me.
You are someone who doesn't own up to it.
Excuse me.
You are someone...
Excuse me.
It was not me.
And it was absolutely her.
Well, you know what they say.
Whoever smelt it, dealt it.
Look, lady, if you you're listening I know what happened
And I know my body
And I know
I just know that I know
Okay
Namaste
Silent but violent hey Clint
What are you up to this weekend?
Me
On Sunday
At around 10am
Um I was going to watch the All Blacks.
Why?
Just wondering if you wanted to come to this event that I've said yes to on Facebook.
Okay.
Is the All Blacks going to be on?
I mean, when you hear about this event, I think you might be interested.
Where is it?
It's in Takapuna.
Oh, on the sunny north shore of Auckland.
Yes.
And it came up in my Facebook feed that another friend of mine had clicked that she was interested
in going to this event.
Yeah.
And I looked at it and thought-
Wait, is this a real event?
That's what I thought.
Now, I want to ask you your opinion and then if you'll come with me.
So, my opinion on what?
Whether it's a real event or whether you should go?
Both.
Okay, sure.
So, the event is titled, it's at 10am
on Sunday. Anyone can attend.
So far,
there's 1,000 people going.
There's 6.3
thousand people interested in going.
I'm just looking at the people who I know who are going.
There's a few friends that are going.
It's called Pretending to be
Crabs at Takapuna Beach.
I looked at it and went, well, that's hilarious.
Yeah.
And also thought, imagine if a thousand people actually go down to the beach.
Yeah.
And pull this off.
Imagine if 50 do.
It'll be great.
Whether it's a real event or not, this is good because you can still show up and you can still do it.
If you get there and you go, oh, it's a joke.
Nothing to stop you getting out there for a scuttle.
Because I'm sure there'll be many other people who bought the joke and go down there too, right?
Yeah.
Should I get up at 9am on Sunday to go down to this event?
Well, you've asked me a three-part question.
Firstly, do I think it's a real event?
No.
But a thousand people are going!
Secondly, do I think you should go?
Yeah.
Yes, 100%.
Thirdly, do I want to come?
No.
Oh!
You might change your mind.
Got quite a cool stat when it comes to women's sport
to share with you this afternoon.
I'm interested.
Now, you need to know that every team in New Zealand has some stupid name vaguely derived from the All Blacks.
The Black Cocks.
Well, that's our badminton team, yeah.
It's my favourite.
Oh, the Tall Blacks.
Tall Blacks, White Ferns.
The White Socks.
What are the Black Caps called?
Oh, they're called the Black Caps.
That's right So our soccer teams
Are called the all whites
Which if all black
Sounds racist to some people
All whites is even worse
Yeah not great
So that's the men's one
And then the women's team
Are called the football ferns
So the football ferns
So you're just
Crowbarring the fern in there
I don't know
Is it the white ferns
Or the football ferns?
No the white ferns are
Something else How confusing I don't know what a white fern in this. I don't know. Is it the white ferns or the football ferns? No, the white ferns are something else.
Oh, how confusing.
I don't know what a white fern is, but it is something.
Right.
It is so confusing.
So we're talking about the football ferns, the girls, New Zealand soccer team.
Yes.
The women footballers of New Zealand in the latest version of FIFA.
You know FIFA on PlayStation?
Yeah.
Like the biggest football game in the world.
So good.
Our women rate higher than our men.
Do they? They're decent, the female team the world. So good. Our women rate higher than our men. Do they?
They're decent, the female team.
They're really good.
What about the men?
I haven't heard much from the New Zealand men's football team.
So football Ferns captain and Chelsea defender Ellie Riley rates on FIFA an 83.
Is that good?
I believe so.
It's out of 100,
so I think that's pretty good.
She's killing it.
Whereas the highest rated man
is Chris Wood,
and he comes in at a 78.
Whoa, she's killing it.
She's smashing it.
And that's cool though, right?
I know it's not real life.
I know it's a video game,
but the women for our football team,
and I don't enjoy it,
but it's the biggest game in the world.
I mean, I'm a massive soccer advocate.
Kind of cool, right?
I love it.
Did you know that women and men's New Zealand players get paid the same in New Zealand?
Sick.
It's the only sport where there's parity.
I did not know that.
And can I say, coming from Australia, where it is not the case, and our girls' team are
better than the men's team at the moment.
Like, they did really well at the Olympics, the World Cup.
They're killing it.
They get paid nothing.
Wouldn't you love to see the women's team go head-to-head with the men's team as well?
Or is that too much?
Is that too far?
I think that's too far.
Okay.
Well, forget that I said that, but, and go back to the pay parity.
That's cool, right?
That's amazing.
I love that.
I think it's the only sport, representative sport, national representative sport in New Zealand
where they're able to pay them the exact same thing.
And I think maybe it's because they don't pay either of them too much
or very much.
But either way, it's a good start, right?
That's a great start.
You know my mate, she is on the cover of that game?
On FIFA?
On FIFA, Steph Catley.
Really?
She's one of the Aussie defenders.
That's cool.
Very cool.
Do you pay much for that?
I don't know. That's cool. Very cool. Do you get paid much for that? I don't know.
That's a good question because it was between her and my other friend,
Katrina, and they were fighting it out to be on the front of this FIFA game.
Right.
And I can't remember.
I think people voted and they ended up voting Steph Catley to be on the front of it.
As to who gets on the cover.
Yeah.
Right.
I should ask her how much she gets.
Probably nothing like everything else they get paid.
Hey, and that's the end of Sports Chat on our show again.
Join us next week when we talk about softball injuries.
Oh, well that.
Zip.
