Hello everybody, welcome to a Brian Clint podcast with Matty
which on the rare occasion that this does happen
I think it's worth noting we're recording the podcast intro before doing the show
so much like you, we've got absolutely no idea what's coming up
and anything could happen
anything could happen
so you're gonna hear, it's almost like you are about to know what happens before we know what happens.
Oh my God, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, this is a glimpse into the past.
Yeah.
Ben, we should record another one after the show.
So we're like, whoa, that was a great show.
And then put that at the front of the podcast.
Oh, yeah, great point, because it always goes to the front.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, we can't, though, Because Ben needs to go to the movies
Yeah, what are you going to see, Ben?
Batman
I'm going too
Oh, cute date, guys
Oh, no, we're going separately
You're going separately to the same movie?
I'm taking her because she doesn't have a car
But wait, will you sit together?
I don't know
I don't know
We're going to cross that bridge when we come to it
So you're travelling together
Yeah
To the same movie
But we've got separate dates but you're not going together.
Oh, you're meeting other people.
She's going for the popcorn,
I'm going for the movie.
Yeah.
He just told me
it's three hours.
Three hours.
That is a long movie.
Three hours.
But like our pets.
Yeah, true.
And popcorn.
I was totally team Edward.
Are you having popcorn
for dinner, Anastasia,
24 years old?
Sorry?
Are you having popcorn
for dinner?
I will be having popcorn and if there's an are you having popcorn for dinner I will be having
popcorn and if
there's an empty
seat next to me
I'll be having
that person's popcorn
but wait
what if you go
because it's a
premiere right
and what if you
go and they've
only given you
like the little
mini box
I'll go down
and buy a $10
nah do you want
to know the hack
as someone who's
been to 15 years
of free movies
go in
get your free
popcorn on the way
in
then before the movie starts oh I need to go to the toilet go out Go in, get your free popcorn on the way in. Yeah. Then before the movie starts,
oh, I need to go to the toilet.
Yeah, nice.
Go out, go to the toilet,
leave your popcorn with the friend
and then get back in the queue,
come in again,
take another popcorn.
No, so now they do it
that they leave it on seats.
So you have to do an awkward dash
where if no one's up the back.
Okay, get in early,
sweep the seats,
take all the popcorn.
And then everyone goes,
wait, where's my free popcorn?
No, one time my flatmate did that and these people came late
and then they were like, where's our popcorn?
And we were just sitting there.
Eating it.
With your cheeks full like a squirrel full of nuts.
Yeah.
But yeah, Ben, are you excited?
Have you seen much Batman?
I've seen the one with, oh, no, that's The Dark Knight.
Wait.
Yeah, that's Batman.
Wait, which one's the one with the hot Australian dude?
Heath Ledger.
Yeah. That's Batman. That's The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight. I've? Heath Ledger. Yeah, I've seen that one.
The Dark Knight, I've seen that.
Yeah, good for you, man.
Oh, sorry, I was meaning like, do I need more context?
No, it's just the story of Batman.
This is a whole new story.
He's only been Batman for two years in this film.
Wait.

Careful what you answer.

He said, do you want to?

KDM Free and Clean with guest host Matty McLean.
There he is.
Nailed it.
His name's in the show, everybody.
Every third day, Matty McLean gets his name in the show. It's like that clip of Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street.
I'm not leaving.
They're going to need
a wrecking ball
to take me out!
My name's in the show.
I ain't going anywhere.
That's what Matty says
at the end of every show.
We're like,
the show's over, man.
Just go home.
Yeah.
You're like,

Hey, today on the show,
it's a Honda Jazz
blitz.
Blitz, baby!
Just before six o'clock,
we're going to put
as many people as we can
in the draw
to win this brand new
Honda Jazz,
which I'm driving at the moment, by the way.
Do you like it?
I've got one.
Yeah, not the one that you'll win.
I'm putting some Ks on this one.
But yeah, bloody love it.
It's a nice car.
So good.
And it's so easy to win as well.
All you've got to do is tell us, do you want your name on the boot or on the bonnet?
Easy as that.
It's a Honda Jazz EHEV Lux.
Very cool car.
Also, we're filling Joe Damon's cart today for ZMZ to Cart.
Nice.
Funny man, Joe Damon.
Very funny.
Very funny.
Yep.
And he's got some cool items in his cart too.
He's sort of thought outside the box with his items.
I love that.
Of course he has.
Including a pair of what Georgia referred to as racing Crocs.
Racing Crocs?
Yeah.
I'll show them to you.
They're speedy, man.
Like a cross between Crocs and Yeezys.
Nice.
So if you want the last item for Joe's cart,
join us at 4 o'clock when we chuck that one in there.
But let's kick things off with Tradie vs. Lady.

Well, my 11-year-old's been bugging me for like days.
We always sit in the car and listen.
So she's like, Mom, you need to ring up.

Well, you've got a point to prove.
Then you need to take this out.
Let's meet the tradie
that you're taking on today.
He's from Palmy.
He's 27,
and he works on the wind turbines.
Those things are so impressive.
Welcome to the show, Mike.
Hey, how's it going?
Good.
So what do you get up
to fix the wind turbines
if they're broken?
What was that, sorry?
Do you get up into the wind turbines to fix them if they're broken?
Yeah, most days, yeah, climb up the turbine, up into the nacelle of it
and do repairs on all sorts of different things.
That's high up as well, isn't it?
Yeah, about 60, 70 metres.
Oh, OK, yeah, I'd throw up at that.
OK, Mike, your buzzer is tradie.
Elise, your buzzer is lady.

Good luck.
All right, question number one.
The race is on to see who will be crowned TV personality of the year tonight.
Chris Parker is one of the finalists.
Which reality show did he win last year?
Give you a clue.
Our very own Brie Tomasell is the host.
Matty's been on the show before.
It starts with Celebrity
and ends with Treasure Island.
Trady.
Mike.
Celebrity Treasure Island.
Got it.
How did you get that one?
I thought everyone was watching that last year.
I was.

Yeah, name the first name

A lady.
Yes, Elise.
Chris.

Please tell me that it's not your penis.
No matter what he does in his career,
that's what he's going to be remembered for.
Career-defining stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Question number four. Roughly how many COVID cases did be remembered for. Career defining stuff. Yeah, yeah. Question number four. Roughly how
many COVID cases did we have today?
Brady. Brady. Yep, Mike.
19,000.
Well done. We're even.
Scores are locked up. Okay.
Question number five. It is not
looking good for the Blackcaps in their
test against South Africa. Can you
name one Blackcap player?
Brady. Yes, Mike.
Colin de Gromholm.
I'll just stick with Matty.
Is that correct, that name?
We're going with yes.
You don't know.
I love that you wrote that question
and you've got absolutely no idea
who any of the Black Cats are.
I was looking to you to help me out there.
Colin de Gromholm has won you 50 bucks cash thanks to KFC.
Mike, congratulations.
You beauty.
Thank you very much.
Are you up a two by now?
It sounds windy.
Nah, nah, I've just finished, but it's always windy in Parmy.
There you go.
There's some really funny things that if you work in retail
or any kind of customer service job.
Customer facing.
Customer facing job that you have to deal with.
Yeah.
And I saw this sign that a fish and chip shop in the UK has had to put up.
Yeah.
And clearly, you know, it's one of those signs where the manager or the staff have gone,
I cannot be bothered answering this question.
I don't want to deal with this anymore. I don't want to deal with this anymore.
I don't want to deal with the same thing over and over again.
Yeah.
So it's a sign that says, once the food is given to you,
if a seagull takes it, there will be no refunds.
The seagulls don't work for us.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Oh, look, I get it.
I get it.
You walk outside with your basket of fish and chips from Bimbley.
It's open.
Yeah.
And a seagull, opportunistic seagull swoops in,
takes a whole bit of fish off your plate.
Because they know, too.
They know where the food is.
Yeah.
That's why they hang around those areas.
Absolutely.
It's like Mission Bay in Auckland.
Totally.
They actually ask you in Mission Bay not to feed the seagulls.
Well, fair enough, because they'll start stealing your food.
And I get it from the fish and chips store's side too.
Totally.
They're not responsible for those seagulls.
No, and they can't be cooking up, frying up new fish every time a seagull comes along.
I love the idea of having to justify that response.
What do you mean you don't offer a refund?
Read the sign.
Yeah, read the sign.
It was part of the terms and conditions when you bought this fish and chip basket, sir, with all due respect.
Although, yeah, you're right.
It would be so, like, imagine.
You get to the beach, you order your fish and chips, you unwrap it, sit down, ready to take a bite.
Boom.
People who deal in these customer facing, which is the word for it, sit down, ready to take a bite. Boom. People who deal in these customer facing,
which is the word for it, jobs,
would have this all the time.
All the time.
Because you're trained officially
that the customer is always right,
but unofficially, your manager's probably like,
just for the record, we hate the customer.
I reckon 99% of the time the customer is not right.
Absolutely not.
Especially with some of the requests they would come in to make for their refunds.
And I'd love people who work in retail or hospital at the moment
to call us and dob in some customers who have had some really unreasonable requests.
Totally.
What is the worst thing someone has asked for a refund for
or just asked you for in general in your store?
I'm talking something you work in a clothing store
and someone has bought in like a soiled outfit.
Soiled in whatever way.
Soiled in bodily functions or otherwise.
And they're like, hey, I need to return those.
These aren't good.
And you're like, dude, you pooed those pants.
We can't take those back.
And they're like, but I've got the receipt.
I left the tags on.
30 day refund.
Give me my money.
0800 dials at M.
We can absolutely
keep you anonymous.
We'll keep your business
anonymous.
Just tell us the
unreasonable requests
that you've had
from customers
and we'll air them
on the radio this afternoon.
Happily.
Like dirty,
soiled laundry.
Hang them out on the line.
0800 dials at M.
Bree and Clint.
I saw a post from a fish and chip shop in the UK
that had to tell customers
that they would not give out refunds
or new packets of fish and chips
if the seagulls ate their food.
They had to.
They're getting bombarded with requests for it.
And it got us thinking about what people who deal with customers every day,
you and me are the customers, by the way.
Yeah, and we're always right.
We're always right.
We are always right.
That's what we've been brought up to believe.
What sort of crap have you had to deal with from customers in your job?
Ella's called up.
Hi, Ella.
Hi.
What industry do you work in?
I'm a supermarket worker. Oh man, you guys have done
it tough over the last couple of years.
Uh huh. Okay.
What are some of the bull crap
requests you've had from some of your
customers?
I once had someone
try to return an
opened bag of sugar that was
full of sand.
What?
Yep.
What?
And when I said no, they tipped it all on the floor and stormed out.
Wow.
Was it at least brown sugar?
Yes, it was brown sugar. Okay, because I was going to go,
bro, this doesn't even look like sugar.
What did they say the issue with the sugar was?
No, they said it had already been opened
and they wanted to return it.
Wow.
I would have gone with,
if I was trying to return it,
I would have gone,
I bought this sugar and I opened it.
Turns out it's a bag of sand.
Yeah.
What's going on?
Yeah, why did you serve me sand?
The supply chain has gone wonky somewhere.
Okay.
Thank you, Ella.
And it feels weird to have to say this in 2022,
but thank you for your service.
Yeah, thank you.
Let's talk to Maddie.
Hi, Maddie.
Hi, Aaron.
How are you going?
Good.
What industry do you work in, Maddie?
So I am in the customer service for a telco.
Okay, say no more.
So you're always the villain, right?
Yeah.
No one ever calls you to tell you what a great job you've been doing, right?
And you always get that
I have been on hold for two hours
Yes, we do try, but yeah
Okay, so what's one of the worst requests you've had from a customer?
I mean, we have had
I had one recently sort of about
a customer who has
had a router sent out to them about
eight months ago. They've just cancelled
their sort of connection with us
and now they're sort of saying
that they want to have a refund
on that router that was used
for those eight months because apparently it wasn't
ever, you know,
they never received it sort of thing.
But you can see that they've been using it?
Yep, definitely.
And for an eight-month period as well.
Yeah, it's a little bit too long.
Yeah, and they don't want to send the router back.
They're claiming that they don't have it.
You're like, dude, I'm literally logged into your internet right now.
I can see you using it.
Your password is OptimusPrime69.
You're messaging me off the Wi-Fi that you're using right now. I can see you using it. Your password is OptimusPrime69. You're messaging me off the Wi-Fi
that you're using right now.
Okay, that's a good one, Maddie.
Thank you.
Rosie's here as well.
Hi, Rosie.
Hi.
Oh my God, you work in a lingerie store.
Oh no.
Yeah, I used to.
I used to.
This is what I've been waiting for.
This isn't a soiled situation
like Clint was mentioning earlier, is it?
No, although that does happen.
Wait, wait, wait. But wait, people bring in dirty knicks to be returned.
Yeah.
Oh, Rosie.
Yeah, I know, I know.
But no, this one in particular, I had somebody try and return an item
that wasn't even from our store.
She was adamant that she had bought it there and that I had sold it to her
and I was like, no, it's got somebody else's tags in it.
It's not mine.
You personally, they said you're the one who's...
Yeah, they said, no, I was the one that served them.
They were, yeah, completely, like 100% no.
I was like, it doesn't even have my tags in it.
This is like our rival store's tag.
And so what do you do in that situation?
Because...
Like, what can you do?
You just try and explain it to them.
Because this is why
I make a bad employee.
I would be so over it
by that stage.
I'd go,
sweet, how much were the undies?
They'd go,
$14.99.
You'd go,
cool, here's your money.
Just like that.
Yeah, yeah.
See, I'd go the other way, Rosie.
I'd be like,
you are a moron.
Get out of my store.
Get out of my store.
You stupid idiot.
Hey, thanks, Rosie.
Is that why you're a former lingerie store worker, by the way?
That's exactly right.
Can't do it anymore.
Maddie's here filling in,
but I'm quite surprised that you're actually here with us today, Maddie.
I would have thought you should be on the red carpet for the New Zealand Television Awards.
Isn't that today, the New Zealand Television Awards?
They are.
Why aren't you there?
Well, it's one of those COVID festival because I love hanging out with you.
Thank you.
And second of all, because it's virtual.
Oh, right.
There's no in-person ceremony. Yeah.
But you're nominated for a television award
this year. I am. You are nominated
and correct me if I'm wrong, New Zealand
Television Personality of the
Year. That's correct. Why have you not
booked out Soul Bar in the Viaduct
invited 19 of your
nearest and dearest to help watch the
ceremony with you? Do you know what? I should have brought in a bottle of bubbles
or something like that for us to celebrate tonight.
For when you win.
Or celebrate or commiserate.
Yeah.
How badly do you want this?
Well, I actually have won the awards before.
Have you?
Yeah.
So that means you don't want it.
I, look, it's just an honour to be nominated.
Really?
Don't care?
No, I desperately want to win.
I know, right?
How good would it be to win?
And you should win.
You should win.
The thing is, though, I'm nominated as a trio.
Yeah.
So I'm nominated alongside Jenny May and Clarkson and Jenny Saw, who...
Yeah, but they're just riding your coattails, man.
It's all about you.
Absolutely.
You know who I think is standing in your way?
Who's that?
That, that, oh, that, oh, that evil Chris Parker.
Oh!
I hate that guy.
The other blonde gay guy.
Yeah.
Oh, what's that been?
We've got Chris Parker on the phone right now.
Don't drag me into this.
Drag me into this kind of celebrity beef.
Fellow New Zealand Television Personality of the Year nominee,
Celebrity Treasure Island winner, Chris Parker.
Welcome to the show.
Don't remind me.
And that's how I answer the phone as well.
Don't remind me.
Are you going to, you're going to,
not only did you win Treasure Island where I couldn't,
you're going to win this award where I can't, Chris, as well.
Can I be honest?
I haven't thought about're going to win this award where I can't, Chris, as well. Can I be honest? I haven't thought
about it for a while
until you guys rung me
about this. I didn't even realise
the awards were on today, but
now we're all on, aren't we?
All on. That's so much cooler
than what Matty's been doing. He's been recruiting
us to vote for him. He's been
getting us to set up email addresses.
If Matty wins this
again,
it's beyond amazing
and borders into tragedy.
You can't have two
TV personality awards.
Eventually, you've got to have something more than
personality. You've got to be a
host or something at least. Say that to my
bookshelf, Chris, because there's definitely
space for one more award on there.
Mine's pretty clogged up with
my Fred award on there.
Wow, look at these award winning gays
all over the place. But I tell you what, the TV
is not big enough for the both of you
and one of you, actually it could
actually be Sharon from The Edge, she could win this award as well,
right?
I'm voting for CW Nick, so I really want her to take it out.
Yeah, right.
Actually, there's lots of nominees, isn't there? There's a lot.
Yeah, right.
Well, hopefully one of you two takes out New Zealand Television Personality of the Year.
Can you imagine?
I've been starting a rumour that whoever wins the award
gets a statue of them made out of old TV guides.
And I did it on Instagram and straight up,
like at least a hundred people believe me.
Now I'm convinced if I win,
I have to make one.
You've got to follow through with it.
If you win,
Chris,
I'll come around to your house and we'll paper mache some TV guides together.
I would honestly love that. And then we'll paper mache some TV guides together I would honestly
love that and then we can talk about
our wedding
So are you
We've got to have at least
like three things that are different about each other
At this point we are
indistinguishable from each other
The day you learn to read the weather Chris
it's all over
I'm from Christchurch, I'm very att to read the weather, Chris, it's all over.
There we go.
I'm from Christchurch.
I'm very attuned to the weather,
that nor'wester, that blow and throw.
Oh, here we go.
He's coming for your job.
That's Chris Parker, everybody,
nominated for New Zealand Television Personality of the Year.
But we're not talking about it. It's not that big a deal.
No, who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?
Not even serious.
Brian Clint.
I was working on Breakfast this morning.
Yes.
And one of our
newsreader was away doing some other work
this morning so we had to get a film. And we got
Chris Chang. Yeah.
Brilliant newsreader. Love Chris Chang.
Yeah, does a bit of sport, does a bit of weather.
He's a jack of all trades.
But one of his
most unique talents
are his impersonations of people.
Yes. And there's one in particular that he does so, so well.
You were telling me about this,
and I thought we have to get him on,
so please welcome to the show this afternoon,
TVNZ's Chris Chang.
Hi, Chris.
What an honour.
What an honour.
My day just gets better and better.
First breakfast, now this.
What a treat.
You're like Jeremy Wells. You're double-ending the this. What a treat. You're like Jeremy Wells.
You're double ending the day.
Exactly.
Yeah.
You're everywhere.
We can't get enough of you.
I was telling Clint
about your incredible impersonation.
Well, you actually do quite a few.
But there's one...
Yeah, there's a few in the repertoire, yeah.
Who else do you do?
Oh, obviously, you know, I do like myself a bit of JC,
a bit of John Campbell.
As I've told John before, I only ever do people that I like.
It's a fun effect, shall we say.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A term of endearment.
Okay, well, let's start with John Campbell.
Can we get a bit of John Campbell?
Boy, Clint, you're a really
lovely man, aren't you?
Aren't you, Clint? Do you know one of my claims
to fame is that John Campbell once
referred to me as a remarkable
New Zealander. I love that. He called me a
remarkable young New Zealander.
Yeah, yeah.
You really are.
Oh, that is
spot on, Chris.
That is very, very good.
That is so good.
But can we please hear the impression that around TVNZ
you have become most famous for?
Six o'clock, weather presenter Dan Corbett.
Yeah, it's not a bad looking day.
Have a look outside the window.
You might pull back the curtain and, ew, yucky.
You're starting off with that high pressure.
It's almost like you put it in the washing machine.
It's spinning around.
Here comes the low pressure.
Vroom.
After that, it's not too bad a looking day.
That's your weather for now.
Wow.
That is phenomenal.
It's so good.
Please tell me when you're doing that impersonation,
you're standing with your legs, and I say this with love,
your legs slightly too far apart as well?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's definitely the power stance.
It's just getting Mother Nature ready, vroom, there she is.
Wow.
Let's put an open cast and call out this afternoon,
inspired by TVNZ's Chris Chang, for impressions and impersonations.
Who do you do a really good version of?
If you're willing to share it with us this afternoon,
we'd love to hear it on 0800DIALSATM.
No judgement. No. Well, a little bit of judgement.
We're kind of like X Factor judges in this situation. Totally.
We'll tell you if it's good or bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because maybe we do it so that we don't
know who their impression is of.
Oh, I like that. And we have to figure out whether
we know who it is or not. Then you'll know if it's
good or not, if we can pick it. Go on, give it
a go. Give us a call now on 0800DIALSATM
and sling us
your best impersonation
and we'll see if it's up there
with Chris Chang's.
Thanks, Chris.
Good to talk to you.
It's good to talk to you guys.
Thanks, John Campbell.
See you soon.
See you, buddy.
We did this to ourselves.
None of the impersonations
are appropriate
for airing this afternoon.
We might just move on. Come on, guys. We airing this afternoon. We might just
move on. Come on, guys.
We'll just leave it at Chris Chang's John
Campbell and Dan Corbett, and
he wins the prize. To be fair, that was
going to be hard to beat. Yeah, quite intimidating.
Very intimidating.
PC nightmare, this segment. Why did
you even think of doing it, Matty? I'm so sorry. That's my bad.
Look, I'm new to the game.
I'm new to the game. You try something, it doesn't work. Trial and error, sorry. That's my bad. Look, I'm new to the game. I'm new
to the game. You try something, it doesn't work. Trial and error, baby. That's what we're
all about. Let's talk about this instead. I found this on Reddit today. It's a video
that's gone up on YouTube in the last week about how English sounds to Japanese people.
Okay, think about that for a second. You know how when you don't understand a language
and you think about how that language sounds to you
and, I mean, people have tried in the past,
like we cancelled the impersonation segment,
to do a foreign, it's not even accent,
you're trying to do their language with the accent.
Totally.
And the cadence of how they speak and stuff.
But you've got no idea.
No.
Because it's not your language and it's not your culture
and you don't understand it.
Totally.
So that goes the other way as well.
If you're Japanese and you don't speak English,
what does English sound like to you?
So they've asked that question to a bunch of Japanese people
who have done an English impersonation, I guess you would say.
This is what English sounds like to um some japanese people To be fair, they got us.
They got us.
That guy at the end of my favorite movie is like,
very, very, very...
Isn't that fascinating?
That is fascinating.
Because it's all about, like you said,
the inflections and the tonal changes
and the energy that you put into certain parts inflections and the tonal changes. Totally.
And the energy that you put into certain parts of the language
and the way that you speak.
And I think that was pretty spot on.
And there's clearly a couple of key things that they all kind of picked up on as well.
It's like when you're doing a French person, you go,
which no French person ever does.
I would like to hear every culture in the world do English.
Like what do English speakers sound like to French people?
What do, yeah.
You'd have to find people who don't speak English,
which there's plenty of,
and then put that to them.
But that one was particularly very, very beautiful.
Wow.
You, it's very, very, very.
That's you.
That's what you sound like.
That's good.
That's you.
Very, very, very.
Bree and Clint.
I was on Twitter last night and I saw Eli Mathewson tweet this
and it really struck a chord for me because I've been caught up with this
and I keep getting confused as well.
He tweeted,
Why are yellow jackets and yellow stone both allowed to exist?
Surely only one.
I could not agree more.
Right?
So this is so funny you bring this up because I am obsessed with Yellow Jackets.
And I've started watching Yellowstone.
Okay.
But I keep seeing people tweet about Yellow Jackets and I'm like, oh my God, it's good, eh?
Yeah.
And then they talk about something and I've got no idea what they're talking about.
Well, this exact same thing happened to me because I was telling my sister about it.
And I said to her, you've got to watch Yellow Jackets.
It's so, so good.
And I gave her a synopsis, a brief synopsis of the show,
which involves quite a big plane crash.
That's quite a key part of the show.
And then she was three episodes in and she kept waiting for the plane to crash
and it never happened.
And she went, if this is such a crucial part of the show, where's the crash coming?
I'm three episodes into Yellowstone and there hasn't been a plane mentioned.
No.
Like no one's even been in a plane.
There's been some helicopters, but no planes.
Yeah.
So it turned out my sister was watching Yellowstone instead of Yellowjackets.
The big issue, of course, is because they're on the same streaming service.
Are they both on Neon? They're both on Neon of course, is because they're on the same streaming service.
Are they both on Neon?
They're both on Neon.
See, that makes it even more confusing.
Especially if you're suggesting one of these shows for your boomer parents to watch.
It's hard enough for them to get the Neon app onto the TV.
Totally.
So how are they going to figure that out?
You haven't seen Yellowstone and I haven't seen Yellow Jackets. I thought we could try and sell each of these shows to each other this afternoon
Great, I would love to. So I'm going to convince
you first that you should watch Yellowstone
the show that I'm watching
so, theme music
It's set
in Montana
so it's like wild, big
open landscapes
it stars Kevin
Kostner. Good, good Big Delf. Maybe even Kevin Costner. Dolph.
Good.
Big Dolph.
Maybe even Gilf.
He's got good Dolph energy.
Big Dolph energy.
Yeah.
And that should get you across the line.
If it doesn't, it's kind of about the battle between his ranch.
So he's like a rancher.
He owns land.
A Native American population who have claim to the land,
and then these property developers who want to build like a settlement in there as well,
and they're all fighting.
Its key attractions are it's got horses, guns, money, sex, and murder.
Oh, I like all of those things.
That's why I think you should watch Yellowstone.
Okay, that's Yellowstone.
Yes.
So sell me on Yellowjackets.
Okay, Yellowjackets is such, such gripping.
This is the theme song.
Yeah.
Such gripping television.
Yeah.
First of all, the big thing for me is it has Melanie Linsky.
New Zealand actress Melanie Linsky plays the lead character in this.
Right.
And she is so good.
She was on Two and a Half Men.
Correct, she was.
Heavenly Creatures,
one of Peter Jackson's early movies
with Kate Winslet.
She is so good in it.
Basically, it is like Lord of the Flies,
but with girls.
Right, okay.
So back in the 80s,
a plane carrying a plane load
of female high school football players
crashes in the wilderness.
Yeah.
And they have to survive.
Okay.
But you know some of the girls
made it out of the wilderness alive
because it flashes between them in the plane crash days
and them as adults in the modern world.
Right.
But there's so much drama and mystery and intrigue involved
into what went on in the wilderness,
how did they make it out alive.
There's suggestions that there might have been cannibalism involved. I was going to say,
when you say plane crash and survivors, I
straight away think of that movie Alive, where they
end up eating each other. It is so
good.
One of those things with the last episode,
because there's only been one season so
far, but the last episode,
we could not believe
what happened in the last couple of minutes.
Cliffhangers. Cliffhangers.
Okay, there you go.
That's Yellow Jackets.
Yellow Jackets.
That's the plane crash one.
And the other one was Yellow Stone.
That's the horsies shoot them up one.
So you go watch the first episode of Yellow Jackets.
I'll go watch the first episode of Yellow Stone.
And we'll meet back here tomorrow to compare notes. Yeah.
There you go.
Sounds good to me. There's two TV
shows for you. Not a bad thing to have a good
couple of TV shows lined up, right? Put them on the list.
Bree and Clint.
It's the name game.
Doesn't matter what game it is, Matty
is here to win at all costs.
And here's the thing, because I don't
get anything. No. I don't win anything.
I don't take away anything with me as I leave the building today.
No, you don't get the KFC chicken dollars.
But I'll be damned if I lose.
That is the attitude.
It's a win-at-all-costs mentality.
Yeah.
Taking you on, and hopefully with the same mentality this afternoon,
is Gemma.
Hi, Gemma.
Hi.
Are you willing to do whatever it takes to win the name mentality this afternoon, is Gemma. Hi, Gemma. Hi. Are you willing to do whatever it takes
to win the name game this afternoon?
Yeah, well, I think it's the first time for everything
for Maddie to lose.
Oh, I like the attitude.
I like it.
That was a smack talk and a compliment at the same time.
Okay, Gemma, quick running over of the rules.
I'll give you a name.
You guys need to give me a celebrity
who uses that name as part of their name.
It can be their first or last name, it doesn't matter. You don't need to buzz in, you just
yell out an answer. I'll know who yelled it out and that person will get the point, okay?
Okay.
Today, I will be using names of members of the New Zealand White Ferns team, our women's
cricket team. The Women's Cricket World Cup kicks off this week in Mount Maunganui on
Friday. The White Ferns are playing right now off this week in Mount Maunganui on Friday.
The White Ferns are playing right now, actually,
against Australia in a warm-up match.
Okay.
So all of the girls' names you're about to hear,
they're all White Ferns, okay?
Okay.
So you could use the White Ferns name
if you know the answer to that,
or you could use any celebrity you can think of.
Perfect.
First name in the name game this afternoon.
Somebody give me a Susie.
Susie Cato.
Oh, right out the gate.
Perfect.
Well done, Gemma.
Susie Bates is a New Zealand cricketer,
and Susie Cato is a celebrity, so you get a point for that one.
Someone give me an Amelia.
Amelia Earhart.
Well done done Maddie
Amelia Kerr is one of our white ferns
And Amelia Earhart
Is, well was a pilot
She's the one who got lost
You're correct
Yeah yeah yeah
Okay
One apiece
Someone give me a famous
Sophie
Sophie Pascoe
Sophie Pascoe, yes Paralympian Sophie Pascoe. Sophie Pascoe, yes.
Paralympian Sophie Pascoe.
I had Sophie Alice Baxter on the tip of my tongue.
I would have accepted Sophie Alice Baxter.
I know you would have because she's a celebrity.
I would have accepted Sophie Monk.
Yeah.
And I would have accepted Sophie Devine as well, the cricket player.
Right.
Okay, two points to Gemma.
One point to Matty. You've got him right where you need him here, Gemma.
Okay, his back's against the wall.
If you can beat Maddie and contend with that screaming child in the background,
the KFC chicken dollars could be all yours.
Okay.
Someone give me a famous.
Amy.
Amy Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse.
Whoa.
Maddie Just Oh
Well done
Amy Sathaway
I would have accepted
Now a cricket player
I had Amy Adams down as well
Oh yeah
Yeah
But you and I were on the same wavelength
With that Gemma
Okay last one
I want someone to give me
A famous
Brooke Brooke Fraser Last one. I want someone to give me a famous Brooke.
Brooke Fraser.
Brooke Fraser.
What a throwback.
I couldn't think of anyone.
I was thinking of Brooke Shields,
but Brooke Fraser is a way better reference.
Well done, Gemma.
Congratulations.
You have won the KFC Chicken Dollars,
and more importantly, you've won the title off Maddie this afternoon. You're the name game champion. Yay. You have won the KFC chicken dollars, and more importantly, you've won the title off Maddie this afternoon.
You're the name game champion.
Yay.
Thank you.
You're very, very welcome.
Congratulations.
You all right, Maddie?
I'm happy for you.
I can tell.
Yeah, totally.
You're not watching Married at First Sight, eh?
Do you know what?
It's right up my alley,
and yet I've never watched an episode of Married at First Sight.
Good.
Don't.
I'm watching it.
Because you get sucked into the vortex.
Oh, you get sucked in.
And the people on it, oh, the people.
They're infuriating, which is why you watch it.
Totally, because you love to hate them.
Yeah, a little bit.
And I don't hate them.
Some of them I'm like, I hate what you're doing.
Right.
I hate the way you behave.
I hate the sound of your voice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But as a person, I mean, fine.
I can take or leave you.
But last night's episode in particular was a bit triggering
only because what happened on the episode
is my least favourite kind of dream.
Right.
You know when you have an important occasion in your dream
and you just can't get there no matter what happens.
You're running late, you're running late.
Totally.
And then you're like, I've got to go now.
I have to go to this date or this whatever it is.
Totally, big events.
Something else comes up and you can't get there.
That was happening in real life.
Have a listen to one of the brides from last night's episode, Carolina.
While Dion is ready and raring to go,
Carolina has been in the makeup chair for several hours
and is yet to see the finished product.
Oh, I actually hate my makeup.
What time do I have to be there?
How long do I have?
I've been meant to leave here an hour.
No.
Do you feel any guilt
about holding up the lady you've been running quite late i don't feel guilty is that bad
should i feel guilty what's a few hours you know he has the rest of his life with me a few hours
the groom the bridesmaids the groomsmen and the guests were there waiting for her to arrive for three hours.
Three hours.
She was three hours late to her own wedding.
I'd get up and leave.
Right?
I would get up and leave.
I'm not a stick cliff of being completely on time.
No.
But three hours late is taking the piss.
Taking the piss.
She hated her makeup,
and so she took it all off, the makeup artist,
and started all over again.
Which, interestingly, watching it with Lucy, my wife,
she goes, good, don't stand for shit makeup, girl.
And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But tell the makeup, she wasn't using a mirror.
No.
I was like, look in the mirror while the makeup's going on.
Absolutely.
Don't wait till the end.
And also, yes, it's your day and you want to look good.
You want everything to be right.
Yeah.
But also three hours is unacceptable.
How late do you think you can be to your own wedding?
Depends if you're the bride or the groom, probably.
Groom, can't be late at all.
No.
Because if the bride gets there first, that's a disaster.
But bride, I reckon a bride could be 45 minutes late.
Oh, 45 would be pushing it for me.
It's got to be under an hour.
Yeah.
Easily 30 minutes.
You could be 30 minutes late just to build that tension.
Yeah, 30 minutes I think would be the tail end of acceptability.
Okay.
All right, 30 minutes.
Because you've got all your guests and they're waiting.
And there's a lot of people that are relying on you.
And they don't open the bar before the ceremony. You can't drink before the ceremony.
Okay.
All right.
So then you're just sitting there waiting, dry mouth.
Hot.
It's usually summer as well.
Yeah.
Nightmare being late to your own wedding.
I did have my very, so I'm a celebrant, as you know.
Luckily for you, you put on a bus, so I couldn't
be late. Yes. You were our celebrant and you were on time. I was on time. Yeah. But my
very first wedding was an out of town wedding. It was for some friends. Yeah. But it was
in Taranaki and I don't know Taranaki particularly well. Right. And so I said to my friends who
were also from New Plymouth, how long will it take us to get to the venue
they said 20 minutes
I said okay I need to be there half an hour before the wedding
so we need to leave at this particular time to get there
if it takes us 20 minutes
and they said cool fine no worries
someone else was driving us and we set the time
the girls were running so late, so late.
So already my leaving time was pushing it
and we went way past the leaving time I'd set.
And then it turns out it wasn't 20 minutes,
it was 40 minutes to get to the venue.
Right.
So we were driving to the venue
and I saw the wedding car
winding itself up the road to the wedding venue on top of the hill.
And I was like, this is not good.
If the wedding car is in front of me and I'm the guy that's marrying you,
this is not good.
This has not gone well for me.
Hell no.
Luckily, there was a buffer because once the bridal party got to the top of the hill,
they needed to go and get themselves rejuged.
Rejuged.
All of that.
Oh, thank God.
Take a few photos.
But it literally meant I basically barrel rolled out of the car and then ran up to the front.
Into position.
Ready to go.
But I was so flustered that then when it was time to do their ceremony,
their names were Amy and Sam.
And I said, please, everyone, the very first thing I'd ever said
in my very first wedding I'd ever officiated,
please welcome, I'd like to welcome everyone to Smeymy and Am's wedding.
Oh.
Yeah.
And that's what stress will do to you, right?
Smeymy and Am.
Let's take some calls this afternoon
on important events that you were late for.
Just like Maddie,
just like Carolina from maths last night,
were you late to something really important?
Something that was like you had to be on time for.
I'm thinking weddings.
I'm thinking births.
I'm thinking...
Graduation.
Graduations.
What else is there?
Funeral.
Nan's funeral.
Did you miss Nan's funeral?
Oh, 800 dials at him.
What was your major event you were late for?
Get you on.
Relive it with you this afternoon.
R.I.P. Nan.
R.I.P.
I was there in spirit.
Yeah, let me know.
On maths last night,
one of the brides was three hours late to her own wedding.
That's unacceptable.
Three hours.
Unacceptable.
Her thought process was,
oh, he's got me for the rest of his life.
He can wait three hours.
Well, that's bold on a show like Married at First Sight
because you don't know that.
She's quite an incredible person, Carolina.
She's 33.
She has a 16-year-old son.
She raised him by herself,
moved him from Brazil, taught
herself English, all these things. Wow.
But she can't show up on time for her own wedding.
Not even on time.
She's not even fashionably
late. She didn't even have to do anything either.
There's a whole television crew there to get her there on time.
Three hours, you're right, Maddie, is unacceptable.
We think maybe as a bride you can be 30 minutes late to your own wedding.
Push it out to 45.
I'll give them a 15-minute buffer.
If they make a hot entry.
Yeah.
Yeah, if it's within character.
Totally.
But we want to know this afternoon,
what was the big event that you were running late for?
Nicky's here. Hi Nicky. Hiya.
What was it?
I was invited to a wedding and
at the
week leading up to it, apparently
the venue changed and the person
who was supposed to notify me
didn't tell me, so I ended up out at
our feet in the middle of nowhere with no
telephone reception and
it couldn't work
out where everybody was and
couldn't ring anybody so I had to get back
into phone reception. By the time I got
hold of someone's husband because my friend
was one of the bridal party, he told
me that the venue had changed.
By the time I got there, the wedding was
over and everyone
was sitting down to eat,
and I got a massive applause walking in by myself to this wedding
and a full-on apology over the loudspeaker in front of everybody.
So it was highly humiliating.
And, yeah, it was just very, very disappointing.
Poor thing, Nikki.
How did everybody else get the message that the venue had changed,
but you didn't get it?
I haven't.
Are you a bit eerie fairy with the emails?
Do you not check your notifications?
Oh, look, this is going back, you know, 20-odd years ago now.
Right.
So probably pre-emails.
Pre-Facebook.
Yeah, definitely pre-Facebook.
Anyway, I couldn't even drink myself into feeling happy about the whole event
because I was driving.
Oh, no.
Yeah, you missed the bus.
You had to take your own car.
Oh, no.
Yeah, it was rude.
So you literally got there and probably had to turn around again and go home.
And just about.
Yeah.
All right.
I wanted to buy the the police on the way home
because in case I was DIC'd.
Anyway, unfortunately I passed.
Unfortunately you passed.
Well, thank goodness.
That would have been a real twist in the story.
She's like, I'm calling you from prison.
Thanks, Nikki.
Valsey.
Hi, Val.
Hi.
What were you late to, Val?
I was late for a professional show.
I was the professional figure skater three decades ago.
Oh, my God.
When you said professional show, I was like, she's a stripper.
I was going to say, it was a stag do.
No, no.
Okay, professional figure skater.
Yes.
And so it was a small cast.
We were doing a show at Alton Towers.
And I actually opened up the number,
standing at the top of the stairs.
And I do this, well, woo-hoo!
And then rush down the stairs to be right up at the front.
But I turned up as the show was starting.
And so everybody was, like, freaking out.
Where the hell is Belle?
Where the hell is Belle?
I literally had to throw my skates on within the first number.
I managed to put one eyelash on.
My lippy was smudged all over the place.
And I just ran out onto the ice in an absolute panic.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, it's a dramatic entrance for the show, Val.
I know.
But the thing was, I'd forgotten to take my bloody
skate guards off and so I
made this dramatic entrance and
slid right up to the front of the
entrance. You just laid the plastic on your
bloody knives, Val.
If you had taken those off, if you
had remembered to take those off, I would have
given you guys points for like audience
participation. I'd be like, wow, they've
got some chick out of this crowd to come and skate around oh my god she's bloody brilliant yeah okay well that's a
unique one val i was not expecting a um late to my figure skating routine call this afternoon
um ashley's here as well hey ash oh hey guys how are you going you're good how are you doing
oh not bad not bad what What were you late to?
My own wedding.
Oh, we got one.
We got one.
Were you three hours late, Ashley?
Oh, not quite, but I was an hour and a half late.
Hour and a half.
That's double what Maddie and I thought was permissible for the bride.
We gave 45 minutes as our acceptable.
We'd allow that.
So this match bride had a makeup meltdown.
What was your reason for being an hour and a half late?
Well, we're dairy farmers and I was in a limousine
and the limousine got stuck on the kettle stop.
On those little judder bar thingies that are meant to keep the cows in.
That's right. They also keep the cows in. That's right.
They also keep the bride in too.
I was going to say, that's a bit rude.
To the bride on her wedding day to get her stuck on a cattle stop.
Isn't that a bit of a weird metaphor, isn't it?
That's right.
So did you have to get out in your wedding dress and help push?
Definitely.
And I had to go and grab the tractor and pull it out.
Oh, my God.
Wait, wait, wait.
You commandeered a tractor in your wedding dress
and towed the limo off the cattle stop
so that you could make it to your own wedding?
Yes, I did.
They breed indifferently in the country, don't they?
Pretty good reason, I reckon, to be late for it.
Yeah, do they accept the reason?
When I turned up in my gumboots, they did, yeah.
I reckon your groom was like,
why are you bloody late?
And you're like, oh, I had to tow the limo out
using the tractor.
He goes, just put the bloody tractor back in the shed.
Yes, of course I did.
All right, well, let's kick this thing in the gut,
see, let's bloody do it.
Hey, well done, Ashley.
That's a great call.
Thank you.
She's a hard road, fun, and the perfect woman.
Bree and Clint. Hey. It's Thank you. She's an hard road, fun and the perfect woman. And this is Birthday Banger,
where we tell you the number one song on your 16th birthday.
Have we ever done your Birthday Banger?
We haven't.
Oh, we've got to do that.
Yeah, I'd love to know what it is.
Yeah, let's do yours this way.
I reckon Friday would be a good day to do yours.
Yeah, great.
Let's do it.

It's the 1st of March, back at work.
Yeah, I said exciting.
Nothing exciting, really.
Well, let's make this exciting, shall we? Yeah, maybe this will be the thing.
When's your birthday, Cherie?
10th of November, 1965.
All right, Cherie, you were 16 on the 10th of November, 1981,
and this was topping the charts.
No, 65.
Wait, wait, wait, what, what, what, what, what, what, what?
1965.
Yes, and you were 16 in 1981.
Does that make sense?
Oh, yeah, that's fine.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Yeah, sorry.
Okay, so we go to the 80s when you were 16, and this is number one.
Oh, yeah, I had the spandex.
Oh, did you?
Oh, Cherie.
I had the spandex going on after Grease.
Yeah.
Love it.
Yeah, yeah.
Olivia Newsome, John, and Physical.
Were you into aerobics in the 80s, Cherie?
Yes, I was, actually.
I'll bet you were.
Because I met my husband and, yeah, he didn't like seeing men with shorts on
and you could see everything else hanging out.
Wait, that's the reason you gave up aerobics,
because your husband couldn't handle men in their shorts?
Yeah.
He was behind me.
But the woman always...
I was going to say, the women in spandex weren't enough to get him over the line?
Yeah. I'd forget a bit of sausage for that. For about two sessions. but the woman always I was going to say the women in spandex weren't enough to get them over the line yeah

Not too sure.
It really depends.

Let's get this back on track, Eleanor.
When's your birthday?
August 8th, 1993.

And this was your number one song.
There you go.
You well and truly got this segment back on track, Eleanor.
Thank you.
Do you like this?
This is an all-time classic banger, right?
It's a good one.
It is a classic.
It's a little disappointing compared to the other two because they were pretty good.
Yeah, but yours is timeless.
Yeah, I like it.
Yeah, that's true.
Physical's real 80s.
I'm Too Sexy is real like
late 80s, early 90s.
Yours, I don't know.
It just lives on.
It is classic, yeah.

to vote for you.

the verses to that song?
I so do.
All right, wait there, Alan.
Now we're going to a split vote.
Ben, what's the winner of Birthday Banger this afternoon?
I'm going to go.
I've got a feeling.
Sorry, Manny.
Don't look at me like that.
No, you made the right decision.
Yeah.
No one wants to hear all of Right Said Fred.
I'm too sexy.
Although it's only two and a half minutes.
Hey, Alan, you won Birthday Banger Although it's only two and a half minutes. Hey, Ellen, are you one birthday banger?
Well done.
Perfect.
Here we go.
Here's the black eyed peas, everybody.
This one goes out to Cherie's husband.
Anastasia, who's your favourite Australian influencer at the moment?
Can I guess?
Oh, this is so stressful.
Can I guess?
Because she follows them all
Anastasia follows them all
Is it Steph Clare Smith?
In a previous life
But no longer
You've been a big
Oh what did she do?
No I just
You've just outgrown her?
Yeah well
Yeah it changes
It's like celebrities
And musicians
You've always got different ones coming
She's cool though
She's epic
Okay give us a top two or three
Oh
Would it be Sofa Dofa? Sofa Dofa Sofa coming. She's cool though. She's epic. Okay, give us a top two or three. Oh, would it be Sofa Dofa?
Sofa Dofa.
Sofa Dofa.
She's sick.
Love her.
Love her.
She's the biggest Australian up in camera at the moment.
She's the TikTok queen.
Is she a sofa influencer?
She is the queen of TikTok.
Like if Charlie and Addison were Australian.
Nothing to do with couches.
No, no.
Okay, good to clear that up.
We'll go with Sofa Dofa.
This is interesting because there are new rules being brought out
for Australian social media influencers.
So this is going to affect the sort of stuff that they can post
and the sort of stuff they can influence Anastasia on.
They will no longer allowed to be promoting products that have a health benefit well they can promote them but they're not allowed to get paid to promote them anymore i'll read this it's
kind of confusing influencers will be banned from receiving perks such as cash my favorite perk
or samples to promote skincare care and other health products.
Skin care?
Yeah.
That's a big one.
I was thinking it would be like teas that make you shit yourself and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I think those should be banned.
Absolutely.
Or anyone who's like, this vitamin can help prevent COVID.
Totally.
Or some shit like that.
That can easily be scrapped, and so it should be.
And so it should be, Because you're not a medical practitioner
I mean that's just
That's influencer gold
Right it's a whole
It's an entire industry of people
Who are on the skincare
And I think it's relatively harmless
Totally
You might disagree
You might absolutely hate influencers
Yeah but also a moisturiser
I mean what's it going to do to you?
Or a foundation
I'll give you the full list of things,
and you can decide whether you think that influencers,
and this is Australian influencers, by the way, not New Zealand,
should be allowed to promote these things or not and get paid for it.
Right.
Sunscreen.
I would have thought the more people you have talking about sunscreen,
the better.
Totally.
Especially in a country like Australia.
Look, I'm all for rules and regulations around making sure due diligence is done in that kind of instance.
Don't be promoting an SPF 2.
No.
But if you're going, hey, this sunscreen feels nice on my skin.
I love it.
And it protects me from the sun.
And I wear it every day.
Yeah.
Surely that's, yeah.
Well, it's gone.
I'm not allowed to promote sunscreen.
Protein powders?
Huh.
Hmm.
What harm can come from a protein powder totally unless like
you said you say this protein powder makes me skinny yeah maybe yeah there's all those collagen
ones out there yeah but also controversial controversial but not in a this is going to do
damage it's more just a does it actually does it necessarily give you all the benefits that people
think it does?
Maybe not.
But also if people want to pay for it, they want to pay for it.
Vitamins.
That's going to impact Chris Hemsworth, who's the spokesperson for Swiss Vitamins.
Like where's the line?
Where's the line between being an influencer and an ambassador?
Yes, right.
Because he's an ambassador, but he promotes Swiss Vitamins on Instagram.
Supplements.
I reckon supplements is a great area and you probably shouldn't be allowed to get paid to talk about the benefits of supplements.
I agree with you there.
Skin care for acne.
God, this is really brutal.
Medicines.
Do not take your medical advice from an influencer.
And you probably do have to ban that because lots of influencers will go,
Yeah man, I'll
talk up the benefits of antibiotics.
Yeah.
I guess it's just one of those things where they want to make sure that the health advice
people are getting is reputable.
Yeah, totally.
But as long as it is, then what's the problem?
And skin lightening products.
That's the other one.
Which is an interesting category of products that I know absolutely nothing about.
Skin lightening Yeah so if you have like pigmented skin
It lightens your skin
Right
I think it's got like ethnic issues
And things like that as well
But yeah that's the full list
Australian influencers
And I wonder if you're a Kiwi influencer
If they're all going to come over and go
Shit we need to buy some real estate
On the accounts.
So Anastasia, maybe you're about to become your favourite Australian influencer.
Maybe we could pay you to promote these products.
Yeah.
Are you ready for it?
Nah, nah.
I'll leave it to Sova Do for instance.
Good call, mate.
Good call.
