The ZM Podcast Network Kia ora everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast without Brie because she's off on secret business but she'll be back soon and so Maddie's filling in. Hello! It's so nice, do you know what? I love coming in and hanging out with you three. Do you?

Yeah, you're such a great team. Thank you, we love having you here. You're the perfect addition to our team. You fit in seamlessly. You have good chat and good personal hygiene. Which in 2021, 2022? 2022 is worth its weight in gold.

So those are the only two prerequisites doing the show. Good chat and good hygiene. Hurricane, is there anything else that we look for from a co-host? No, that'll be show. Good chat and good hygiene. Hurricane. Is there anything else that we look for from a co-host? No, that'll be it. Good chat and good hygiene. He sent us a cake last time as well.

Oh, that was nice. Yeah. It's a good gift. Actually baked goods. Yeah. Yeah. I thought we need to set this up and put it out there so that we can come back to it. And we can put money on it if you want.

I'd like to put money on it. Oh, I'd like to put money on it. You want to put some money in? I'd love to. I've got a bet for us. But before I tell you the bet, you guys tell me how much money you're willing to wager. Oh, God.

$10. $10 is good? Yeah, I'd do a 10. I was thinking 10 or 20. 20, 50? No, I reckon 10. Hyundai's exciting. Hyundai is exciting,

but without knowing any of the parameters, it's hard to say that you're willing to bet a Hyundai. I don't even know if it's an individual bet or a team bet. So I'll just go 10. I'll sit 10. It's individual, and it's between us four, and the winner will be one of us four. So the winner's going away with 40 if we all put him 10?

I reckon it's who gets COVID first. That is exactly the bet that I want to make. Wait, so you're betting that you will? Nah, nah, because then you're going to have people like you, Anastasia, running out there licking lampposts and stuff. Just to get 40 bucks. So you can get the 40 bucks. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

No, the winner is the person who correctly picks the first person in our team to get COVID. Okay. Everybody has to pick somebody different. So I can't pick themselves? So I can't pick myself? Oh, no, you can't pick yourself. No, because that's... But I'm going to win.

I think so, too. Maddie is our guest, so Maddie gets to choose first. You were going to be my pick. Can I go next because I was picked? Yeah, that's a good way to do it. I'm going to go Maddie. Ben, can you write this? Yeah, just hang on a minute.

I'm going to go Maddie. Maddie thinks Anastasia. Yeah, and you want to go Maddie. Ben, can you write this? Yeah, just hang on a minute. I'm going to go Maddie. Maddie thinks Anastasia. Yeah, and you want to go Maddie. Well, just because he's easier. Okay, let's slow it down. Let's slow it down. Maddie, why do you choose Anastasia? So, by the way, some context for those living overseas.

COVID has just started running rampant in New Zealand. After two years, we've finally got it. And we're at roughly 2,500 cases a day, which is mega for us. Huge for us. And we've all accepted the fact that we're going to get it. That's true. And so, yeah. Why do you think Anastasia?

I guess because she's the youngest on the team. Most social. Most social. Yeah. I'm not partying on a Saturday night. No, neither. I'm at home on the couch watching Love is Blind. Anastasia's at da clubs, I assume. Yeah. on a Saturday night. No, neither. I'm at home on the couch watching Love is Blind.

Anastasia's at da clubs, I assume. Yeah. No, she's not at da clubs. Da flat parties. Because I was talking to her about da clubs. They're almost worse. And she said da clubs suck

because you have to be seated. It's 100 people max and you have to be seated at da clubs. Okay, so. Can you imagine being a club DJ and having to DJ to a room full of seated people?

They don't do it though. Like actual, well, we don't really have clubs really. They're not really open, Can you imagine being a club DJ and having to DJ to a room full of seated people? They don't do it, though. Like, actual, well, we don't really have clubs, really. They're not really open, I guess. But, or, mostly you don't really go to clubs anymore. You more go to gigs these days. Oh, gigs. So, yeah.

So there's not much of that going on. This is a Jen's education. Right, great. That's why I'm going for you. Why are you going for me? Well, I would have put the money on me for those reasons exactly but I just went for you because

Clint hangs out with the kids at home a lot just because he's a busy dad and Ben just spends a lot of his time and really his hobbies include places that are like big amounts of land with no people on them, like tramping and golf.

It's like in terms of... The only reason why is because you live in the city and you work in two workplaces. So you've locked in Maddie, you can't change it. You've absolutely missed a trick and you said it yourself. I've got kids. So I've got kids who... Tui especially is going to daycare every day.

She's mingling with other kids going through a lot of schools and those kids are going home to their brothers and sisters who go to real school and their parents are going out to real workplaces mate I'm I'm a sitting duck

so Ben you think Ben's actually nailed it just by chance you have to get me by default and I get you by default. Yeah. So, yeah. Looks like you're – I'd say you've got the least chance of winning the $40. Because I've got Ben. Yeah.

Also, Ben is extra precautious for personal reasons. So I got – Oh, yeah. I got Ben. Ben sucks in this competition. Hey, you never know. He's a dark horse. He could win, you know? Like you said,

where's he going to get it from? He might share his golf clubs. He gets it from the pro shop at the golf course. It's a good bet, though. I like the bet. There's a lot of people at those pro shops before you get in. Do you try a different golf club? COVID off a golf club? Is that what you're

suggesting? I don't know. Right, okay, So lock it in Okay I'll send that In an email now So Anastasia has Maddie Maddie has Anastasia I have Ben Ben has me

Are we going rat Or are we going PCR? We're going confirmation PCR test We're going on the list Because if you get A confirmed rat You have to go

Yeah, thank you. The boys and I play this you've got 50 bucks cash thanks to KFC. Congratulations. Yeah, thank you. The boys and I play this every day at 3 o'clock

when they get picked up. Oh, bloody good. Are you and your triplets play this? Oh, that is so cute. Say hi to them from us, all right? Will do, thank you. Some big news from you, Matty, over the weekend. So I guess I spent a long time,

especially when I was single, desperately wanting to get married. Yes. And then I found Ryan, my beautiful partner, and we've been together for five years. And Ryan is very open about the fact that he could kind of take or leave marriage. I was going to say you.

Well, some nights. Depends what I've done, how annoying I've been. So I think I've kind of tempered my expectations about marriage. And also, you know, you get older. We've been together for five years. And so I kind of thought, well, if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, fine. Yeah.

Well, it happened. And last week before he revealed it to the whole world, Matty surprised me with this, which we very conveniently recorded. So I've got something to tell you. Okay. I'm quite nervous about this. I'm off the market. Matty!

Matty! Oh, my God. Oh, my God, congratulations. You and Ryan are getting married. You and Ryan are getting married. Me and Ryan are getting married. Who proposed to who? Ryan proposed to me. Yes.

Which was always the way it was going to go. We talked about it years ago. Yeah. Mostly because he hates a surprise and loves being in control. Yes. And I love being the centre of attention. Don't mind a fuss being made about me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So it was our anniversary last weekend. Yes. And we had a little staycation, booked into a hotel. So we exchanged gifts and he gave me a book. And also it was five years, so a decent amount of time. So it was all these memories and photos. And along the way, I had to fill in little details. I had to fill in missing words or, you know, there were gaps in the memories.

And so, you know, where was our first, our first date was here and I had to put the place name. Did you get all of the answers right? Because I always worry with that sort of thing. I'm like, oh God,

what if our answers don't match up? Totally. This was where our first photo was taken, all this kind of stuff. And then on the very last page, it was a photo of me and him and it just said, and on our fifth anniversary,

Ryan asked Matt to marry him and he said dot dot dot. Oh my god, I got goosebumps. That is so cute. That is such a nice way to do it. Very, very good job. But you get to the last page and it was like a full Keira Knightley moment where you were like, it really was. I guess because it was our anniversary, I just

kind of assumed that's what we were going with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I did think along the way, this is so weird. What am I, back at primary school? Am I having to fill in the gaps in the words? I genuinely had to read the last page about three times before it sunk in. Yeah. Yeah. Tears?

Big time. Broke down sobbing. Hey, congratulations. Thank you. That is such amazing news. I got bling as well. Yeah, that's a cool ring. Yeah, very cool. Oh, wow. Thank you. That is such amazing news. I got bling as well. Yeah, that's a cool ring. Yeah, very cool.

Oh, wow. I'm so happy for you guys. Thank you. So I wanted to share that with you. So there you go, yeah. It turns out I definitely do want to get married. And there's a big gay wedding on the way. There's a huge gay wedding.

Harry Potter themed? Definitely. The funny thing is, so I said, as I said before, Ryan has always kind of said I can take or leave getting married.

Today, I got an Excel spreadsheet from him. He's already started planning. No, he's so into it. He's so ready for a wedding. Definitely. I think also that's

the control freak in him. He's like, if we're doing it, we've got to have an Excel spreadsheet. Nothing says romance like an Excel spreadsheet shared to you via Google Drive. But I am very, very happy. Yeah, you should be.

And it's a cool ring, too. Very cool ring. Yeah. We're going to talk more about Maddie's engagement later on in the show. Because it's cool. It's such happy news. Congratulations, man. Thank you.

This is one of those lists that comes out about popular baby's names. You see these semi-regularly. Yeah, right. Like the most popular names every year kind of come out. Yeah. What you should name your kid.

2022. This one's a bit different. This has taken the most popular kids' names from the 90s. So when we were growing up to see if they're still relevant and if people are still using them. Okay.

The 90s were a funny time probably for baby's names because I feel like when I went to school, you always had your, well, your Matt's, your James's, your Michael's, all that kind of thing. But the 90s was when things started to get a little bit more creative. A little bit more jazzy.

I reckon the two, it wasn't until the 2000s, I reckon, that your willows and your- Apples. Apple. We talked about Apple the other day and whether Apple,

as in Gwyneth Paltrow's Apple, has blazed a trail for kids called Apple. Absolutely. Do you think? I haven't met a single Apple. Well, you probably haven't, but there will definitely be some out there. Really?

I think so. If your name is Apple, can you text us? Yeah, please. I'd love to hear from you. Mum, my sister was born in the mid-90s. Okay. And I'm Matthew, my brother's Robert. Yes.

Very standard 90s kids' names. And then Mum, when my sister was born, decided she wanted to try and go a little bit jazzy. So for a while... Like a panther. And then mum, when my sister was born, decided she wanted to try and go a little bit jazzy. So for a while, she was toying with the idea of calling my sister Tatiana. Which in itself is not a funny name. It's just that she would go Matt, Robert, Tatiana. Had she been watching the Winter Olympics?

Yeah, I don't know what it was. Maybe it was. Maybe some figure skating. She was watching Tonya Harding in the figure skating or something. She's like, Tatiana. Anyway, my sister's not called Tatiana. What's her name? Michaela.

Right, okay. Yeah. Slightly more conventional. But it just felt like the 90s were a time when people were getting jazzy with their baby names. Well, the jazz has not stopped. I've got here the top 10 baby names in Australia for 1996 and the top 10 baby names for Australia in 2021. Right.

To see how many of them overlap. So in the 90s, we'll start with that. The number one name for boys was Joshua and the number one name for girls was Jessica. Very 90s names. Absolutely. Great names, solid names. Just straight up the middle.

I always look to have the names linked to anything. You know, because often there's a reason why in that particular name. 1996, Joshua. Who was the guy? Joshua Jackson? Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek. Yeah. And Jessica.

Who was Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Sarah Jessica Park? No, Sarah. No, she was Sabrina. Sarah Michelle Gellar? Yes, Sarah Michelle. Oh my God, where's Sarah on this list? Oh, Sarah's at number three.

Yeah, there you go. Okay, so we'll go through the top five because there's so many. We'll do top five boys, top five girls. Number two for boys and girls in the 90s, Daniel and Emily. Number three for boys and girls in the 90s, James and Sarah

Right And number four, Matthew There you go And Emma And five, Jack and Samantha So all standard 90s names 2021, fast forward to now, the top five names for boys and girls in Australia So fairly comparable to New Zealand

Absolutely, yep Number one, Oliver and Amelia I know a lot of Olivers at the moment. Yeah, a lot of Olivers being born. And Amelia, they're beautiful names. They're definitely more 2021, right? Totally. Number two, Noah and Olivia.

Noah to me screams 2021. Yeah, yeah. My godson's name is Noah. There you go. It's a modern name. Well, it's not a modern name. It's literally a biblical name. Yeah.

But anyway, number three not a modern name. It's literally a biblical name. Yeah. But anyway, number three, Jack and Charlotte. Jack was in the 90s as well. Jack is one of the only ones that's carried through. But creeping up a little bit. Yeah, it's gone up from number eight to number three. Number four, Henry and Isla. Okay, Isla.

And number five, William and Ava. Yeah, it is. It's those Islas. It's the Avas. Yeah, it is. It's those Islas. It's the Avas. Yeah, it's the Theos, the Leos. The Matilda is a name that's up there now. So yeah, there you go. I mean, do with that what you want. I think the trend is to go really classic with the names.

Yeah. Or to go really strange and call it like Holden Commodore. Please don't. Don't call your kid Holden Commodore Well it depends on your heritage Depends on You know If your family was born and bred

In West Auckland I speak from experience Holden Commodore Or Benson and Hedges If you've got twins Benson and Hedges Right now though It's time for the latest

From iHeartRadio This is The latest Live from LA With Dean McCarthy Dean's here And Jake Gyllenhaal Has finally now though it's time for the latest from i heart radio this is the latest live from la with dean mccarthy dean's here and jake gyllenhaal has finally spoken out about what he thinks of taylor swift's all too well hi dean hi guys yes if you're a taylor fan you'll know this but if you're not here's the deal right so taylor when she re-released her uh her album she re-released her album, she re-released All Too Well with a 10-minute version. It has a 14-minute short

film YouTube video, right? And everyone thinks that it's about Taylor when she dated Jake Gyllenhaal, right? Even the guy in the music video looks just like Jake Gyllenhaal. And in the music video particularly, the guy's a jerk. There's no other way to put it. He gaslights her in an argument and things like that.

He really is painted very, very poorly. And everyone believes it's about Jake Gyllenhaal. Specifically, she talks about this scarf that she left at his house. And I think there was a scarf on an Instagram post. You know how the Taylor Swift fans find absolutely everything. He got photographed wearing the scarf. Wearing the scarf. Like a couple of weeks after they broke up.

Just don't even bring up the scarf, Dean. We know about the scarf. I love that you know that. I'm so proud of you, Clint. Brings a little tear to my eyes. Here's the deal. He's finally spoken about it. Now, he got a lot of hate over this.

In fact, he turned all the comments off on his Instagram because he was getting, you know, Taylor Swift fans are no joke. He spoke to Esquire magazine. That's what he said. He actually said, that song has nothing to do with me. It's about her relationship with her fans

it's her expression the artist tap into personal experiences for inspiration and i don't begrudge anyone for that um it was ballsy of the of the interviewers to even ask about it i would have thought they might have even said don't bring that up but he did and then when they said you know have you listened to the red album the re-release he said no he left with that um very classy how he handled it, very classy. But he got a lot of backlash over that, of the song that was allegedly about him. Definitely about him.

I call bull on that. There's no way you're not listening to an album that's allegedly about you. Especially if they've got another 10-minute version, you've gone, oh God, I survived it the first time around. What has she added? To that, I say, Jake Gyllenhaal, whatever you need to tell yourself. That's what it is. Because he said, it the first time around. What has she added? To that I say, Jake Gyllenhaal, whatever you need to tell yourself. That's what it is.

Because he said it's not about me. I reckon he may actually believe that. He may have spent the last 10 years convincing himself that it's not about him. I see him in front of the fire with a glass of wine, wearing the scarf, listening to the 10-minute version of All Too Well. Just remembering, watching the music video.

Brutal. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles, with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy. Brian Clint. So there's new ACC data out. They do this every year where they talk about the things, the weird things that Kiwis are getting injured by. I do love this.

Yeah. And this one is particularly weird. It's very common. I would say there's one of these in almost every single house in New Zealand. Well, I would say, yeah. I don't... What about university dudes who just have a... You know, they've just got the mattress and the sleeping bag?

That's true. You ever been to one of those houses? And the mattress is dirty? You're like, bro, how are you going to put the mattress in the washing machine? ACC data shows that dozens of Kiwis are being injured each year from... A fitted sheet. Yeah.

A fitted sheet. There were 59 fitted sheet injuries in New Zealand in 2021. Interestingly, 81% of those injuries were from women. So come on, woman. Does it break down how they were injured? Because I've been trying

to put my thinking on you. Bloody women. Men, men, I know men are putting on as many fitted sheets. I know men out there, if I know my men,

they're changing their sheets just as often as women. 100%. And we're not having as many injuries. Exactly. I've been putting my thinking on you.

I'm going to rescue you because I've been trying to put my thinking on injuries. I've been putting my thinking cap on. This is on you. I'm going to rescue you because I've been putting my thinking cap on trying to figure out how these injuries occurred. Yes. How are you getting injured with a fitted sheet? Me too. The only thing I can think of is the ping back of the elastic. And somehow you get yourself in the wrong angle and it might catch you in the eye.

But you'd have to be fitting it down at bed level for that to happen. You know sometimes though you're trying to fit one corner on with one arm and then you're reaching your other arm and you're trying to fit the other corner on, but then it slips and you've got a whole push-pull thing going on. I'm wondering whether you can almost pull a muscle in your arm by trying to reach too far. Well, that's interesting that you say that.

The most common diagnosis for injuries caused by fitted sheets is a soft tissue injury which covers bruises, sprains and muscle contusions. Contusions? Contusions. You and I are coming from a privileged

position though where quite often there's two people in the bedroom to fit that fitted sheet we'll just cross to someone who I know has to fit their fitted sheet alone producer Anastasia

resident lonely heart Anastasia that's a new one have you ever injured yourself putting on the fitted sheet by yourself because you've got to be both sides of the bed

at once don't you yeah actually there's a bit of a dent in my wall at home from where I hit my head there you go because I did like a I put it on the corner of my bed and then I was doing like a jumping

manoeuvre to try and like thrust it over. See, you could be part of the data. Also it's a wild way to fit the sheet. Yeah, well I don't want to pull it out from the wall. You're like using aerial acrobatics. I don't want to pull it out from the wall. Anything to avoid pulling it out from the wall. I wonder whether a part of it is also, you know,

actually less about putting the sheet on, but what you do with the sheet once it's been in the washing machine, you're trying to fold a fitted sheet, you lose your cool. Do you really think someone could have been injured from folding a fitted sheet? The frustration of not being able to do it. True, okay. So you throw it and you...

And you hit your hand on the wall. Right, that's potential. I'm going to put this out there and usually with a radio topic you try and be as broad as possible. Totally. You want as many calls as possible. Yeah, but screw it.

If the stories are out there, I want to hear them. Is there anyone listening right now who has injured themselves with a fitted sheet? And just to make it a little more broad, we'll take top sheet as well. Fine. Okay. Any sheet-based injuries,

can you, it's sheet, S-H-E-E-T. Okay. 0800 dial ZM, or you can text your injuries into 9696. The nichest call-in radio topic ever. We might be back with some calls soon. I am shocked. We did what we think

is a fairly niche radio topic. Have you injured yourself from a fitted sheet before? It turns out people have. We should have listened to the ACC data, mate. Totally. They don't lie.

They're legally not allowed to lie. No, exactly. Here I was thinking we would be lucky to get one. And yet, we are talking to a nation of fitted sheet fumblers, I guess you would say. We've had a call in from a nurse. She wants to remain anonymous.

Kia ora, Miss, or Mr. Nurse. Hi, how are you? Miss Nurse. Okay. You believe that fitted sheet injuries are more common than people believe? Well, about six months ago when I was working in an emergency department, I had within two weeks two people that had sprained their fingers whilst putting on fitted sheets. They got caught between the mattress and the fitted sheet

and ended up needing x-rays to check their fingers. But nothing was broken but just finger spray. Wow, there you go. Okay. That's the kind of injury I would expect, if anything. Like a finger-based injury, I guess. Yeah. Do you ever get shocked by what you see, though? Or is it just

any injury is so unsurprising to you now? Oh, no. There's been a few doozies. Yeah, right. What is... Yeah, right. Okay. Legally, you're not allowed to tell us about those.

I was going to go, oh, give us some juicy details. Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much. Someone's texted and said, my husband's ass went through the window trying to get a fitted sheet on. See, I'm imagining...

Are you imagining that he breaks the glass With his butt Absolutely Or he falls Arse first Out of an open window I thought Arse through the glass But I guess maybe

Because the open window Would have to be quite You'd have to be quite high Yeah right Hopefully you hold on To the fitted sheet Someone else said If you have long nails

Fake especially You cannot change A fitted sheet I've ripped a whole Nail off before Yeah okay Yeah I see that one Craig's here Kia ora Craig You cannot change a fitted sheet. I've ripped a whole nail off before. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I see that one.

Craig's here. Kia ora, Craig. Hi, how are you guys? Good. Have you got a fitted sheet injury? Sadly, I have. Okay, tell us. Yep.

A few years ago, I was making the bed, king-size bed. It was the last corner of the fitted sheet. Yeah. And it was between the mattress and wall, and I was pushing it down with my hand outstretched and I snapped the tendon off the middle finger where it touches by the fingernail. You snapped the tendon

off your finger? Yep. So the end of the finger was just hanging down at like a 45 degree angle. Oh, what, like you had a floppy finger because of that? Well, I did, but it actually, it's fine now. They put it on a splint. They said it may, because it wasn't, the bone wasn't broken.

Yeah. It didn't take a piece of the bone away, which is best if they can do that and they can heal. Oh. So they said they stuck it in a splint and eventually it re-adhered or did something, but it's fine now. Wow. Yeah.

Craig, do you finish making the bed? I did, actually. Did you? Oh, good man. And is that the last bed you ever made? Like, did you have an excuse from then on out to never have to make the bed ever again? No, I'm pretty pedantic when it comes to making beds. Well, clearly, clearly,

you're willing to sacrifice your own ligaments for a well-made bed. Well, okay, they're more common than we thought. Very common. We had a text about a fitted sheet death, but I don't think we'll read that one out. Kia ora, I'm Jane Yee. I'm Alex Casey.

very successful Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games. Our most successful Winter Olympics of all time. Well, before this year, we had won three Olympic medals at the Winter Olympics. Total. Total. Yeah. We now have six.

So we've doubled our medal talent. And two of them are gold. Totally. Yeah. It's awesome. But I feel like every year at the Olympics, there's always an unlikely hero. Because we knew that Zoe and Nico were going to do well. Yeah, they were the favourites.

But there's always the competitor who just comes out of nowhere or does something crazy. And this year, there is a spectacular one. Okay. His name is Benjamin Alexander and he is Jamaica's first ever Olympic skier. I love anything Winter Olympics that involves Jamaica.

Totally. Because straight away, your mind Winter Olympics that involves Jamaica. Totally. Because straight away your mind goes to Cool Runnings. Absolutely. One of the greatest movies of all time, sporting movies of all time. Also, any hot country competing at the Winter Olympics, instant underdog status. So here's the other thing about Benjamin though.

He has just such a crazy story because not only is he a Jamaican competing at the Winter Olympics, he had never skied until 2015. Really? He was a DJ. Okay. Who travelled the world.

Right. Went to a place, I think it was in Canada, with a group of people and he was DJing there and they said, let's go up the mountains. He thought, well, I'll give it a go. Said on his first run, he fell 27 times. Okay. But it's so competitive that he wanted to do better the next time.

So he just kept going and going and going. And by the end of the day, he made it down the same slope with only falling seven times. Okay. And then seven years later is competing for his country at the Winter Olympics. See, that's a special kind of person because I go to the snow very rarely

and it's my goal to fall over less as well, but it hasn't landed me in the Winter Olympics. You know, you get to a bit and you go, cool, I've mastered the slope, time to go home. He's gone, time to go to the Winter Olympics. But the amazing thing is, you pick the right country because actually Benjamin grew up in the slope, time to go home. He's gone, time to go to the Winter Olympics. But the amazing thing is, if you pick the right country, because actually Benjamin grew up in the UK,

but his parents are Jamaican. And so obviously he has Jamaican heritage, has a Jamaican past. So he can qualify for Jamaica. So he can qualify for Jamaica. And I think that's the key. If you have access to a country that is not going to send a lot of people

to the Winter Olympics. All you need to do is be the best. Is be the best. Yeah, be the best in that country. In that country. Right. That's kind of genius. Yeah.

Yeah, okay. So now I just wish I had access to some crazy little country that I could compete in. Well, what's your heritage? Like English, German, all the countries where they send a lot of people to the Olympics. And what sport would you like to do? Exactly.

And that's my other thing as well. Although when I was 10, I did win the Queenstown Primary School hurdling event at the Athletics Day. And I did think for a split second, maybe I have a career in hurdling. Turns out it was just pure luck because most of the other people that I was

competing against fell and I was just the only one that managed to make it through unscathed. I think England and Germany and New Zealand have fairly good hurdlers as well. They probably do. But if I find a link to a small island nation and find an obscure sport, who

knows? You could be the next New Zealand Winter Olympianlympia exactly we actually caught up with um benjamin on breakfast this morning he's such a dude he was so so lovely still wearing a ski helmet when we interviewed him yeah hasn't taken it off yeah uh he was amazing and talked to us about what gave him the idea to kind of go for the olympics uh When I was good enough to ski kind of casually with my friends. And as a mixed race person, my father being Jamaican, my mother being white English, you always represent the minority of the group. So skiing being predominantly white, I was always the black representative and people

knew of my Jamaican heritage. So they kept bringing up the cool runnings jokes, the Jamaican Bob said, you should go to the Olympics jokes. So in 2018, I went to the Olympics as a spectator and realised there were only three athletes in representation for what is a powerhouse at the summer games. And I guess a seed of an idea was formed about potentially filling in that spot then.

Got to be honest with you, not the voice I was expecting to come out of a Jamaican DJ. That's a cool story. Very, very cool. So there you go. If you are sitting at home right now And you have watched Cool Runnings Or you've listened to Benjamin's story

From this Olympics You could be there next time Does New Zealand have a curling team? Maybe that's what you need to look into I think they do And there's a Naseby in the South Island Has an amazing curling

Oh of course Oh damn it So maybe If you relocate to Naseby You could go You could go. You could go. Brianne Clint.

Winner Honda Jazz with ZM's Brianne Clint. This is our first ever car that we've given away on the Brianne Clint show. Well, first new car at least anyway. It's a Honda Jazz EHEV Lux and it's currently parked outside the ZM studio. That's very nice. I've seen it. It's such a cool-looking car. Yeah.

It's an E-HEV, which means that it's sometimes fully electric, sometimes hybrid, sometimes runs on petrol, so you kind of get everything within that. Either way, you're going to be saving a hell of a lot of money on gas with this car. Yeah, and we're all going to be hating you because you're not having to spend as much money on petrol. It's brand new, and if you want it, all you've got to do is get through to us here on the show each day and

tell us whether you want your name written on the boot or the bonnet of the Honda Jazz. Because what we're going to do at the end of this is we're going to draw one name from the boot and one name from the bonnet. We will spin a wheel, and if it lands on boot, the boot winner wins, and if it lands on bonnet, the bonnet winner wins. So simple. Easy as. So simple. Let's get Brooke on. Kia ora, Brooke. Hey, Brooke boot winner wins. And if it lands on bonnet, the bonnet winner wins. So simple. Easy as.

So simple. Let's get Brooke on. Kia ora, Brooke. Kia ora. You need a new car, Brooke? Oh, yes, we 100% do. My hubby drives an hour and 10 minutes to work every day, and this would be a real money saver.

You need one of these. Totally. Okay. So, Brooke, it's a very simple question. Would you like to put your name on the boot or the bonnet? I think the bonnet. You want to write your name on the bonnet? Yes, please.

We'll just cross live to Producer Ben at the Honda Jazz. Producer Ben, come in. G'day, guys. Can you please find a place on the bonnet for Brock? She's the first one. She's in this huge space. Totally. We're going to write this on now. You're 100% sure you want the bonnet, Brock? You're making me second guess myself now.

I mean, to be honest, it's all a game of luck at the moment, so just whichever you prefer. Are you a boot woman or are you a bonnet woman? Bonnet. There you go. Your name is on the or are you a bonnet woman? Bonnet. There you go. Your name is on the Honda Jazz. Write that down, Ben. Got it.

Easy as. You can get your name on the Honda Jazz and win it from us, hopefully, again tomorrow. And if you would like another entry to win this car, you can head into any Honda store and take a Honda Jazz for a test drive. That'll give you an extra entry into the draw. Perfect. Bree and Clint.

Five, four, three, two, one. Oh, no. I've lost it. I've lost it. That's Johnny Depp. Oh, it is Johnny Depp. Well done. I walked back into the hotel because we were leaving the next morning.

It was about 1 a.m. And I passed by the bar. He always sounds kind of wasted. I think because he is always kind of wasted. Very much like his Jack Sparrow kind of. Yeah. Yeah, right. He's been typecast.

Hey, Lockie, congratulations. You just won 50 KFC chicken dollars. Wicked. Thank you so much for that. You knew all of those voices, eh? Definitely, right. He's been typecast. Hey, Lockie, congratulations. You just won 50 KFC chicken dollars. Wicked. Thank you so much for that. You knew all of those voices, eh? Definitely, yeah. I don't actually think I did, but all good. I'm fianced.

Is that the word? I don't know. Is that the word for it? I don't know. You're betrothed. I'm betrothed. You are promised. You are off the market.

I'm off the market. The dowry for Matty has been paid. The cow is in the field. It's in the mail, so to speak. If you follow Matty or Ryan, his partner on Instagram, over the weekend you would have seen the big news that Ryan popped the question. He did.

Going to make an honest man out of you. Totally. Five years together. Yes. He, on our fifth anniversary, yeah, asked me if I would do the honour of marrying him. Everybody in these situations wants to know the details. Some people want to know from a romance side of things.

And some people who are planning to pop the question at the moment want inspiration on what a good proposal looks like. And I would say that yours is a very good proposal. It is, but I guess in a way, every proposal story is very unique to the couple. Yes. But some are good and some are bad. Totally.

Absolutely. Doesn't necessarily change the outcome. No. But you want to have a good story to be able to tell when someone says, how did they do it? Yeah. So how did they do it? So how did they do it? A flash mob.

No. No, we had our fifth wedding anniversary, a little staycation at a hotel. So when Ryan said to me, I've got something for you, I just thought, well, it's a gift. Because I'd given him a gift earlier in the day. And he presented me with a really beautiful book of photos, of memories from the last five years. And so there was photos of our first holiday together,

photos of us with our first house, all that kind of thing. Big milestone moments. And then the last page said, and on our fifth anniversary, Ryan asked Matt to marry him. So good. So good. He says a lot of that was because He didn't want to have to say anything

Like he didn't want to have to think of a speech Or say anything cheesy or sentimental So I respect that so much It's all just written there I wish I had that advice Just because I talk for a living But in those situations You get so jumbled up

and the pressure of it being a one time thing and you kind of know that the person's going to say yes but at the same time you don't necessarily know that they're going to say yes. And also you want to make it good, you want to make it special dry mouth I'm assuming Oh yeah, totally.

Nerves, stuttering For me it was nerve-wracking just because I wanted it to be so good. You left off the cutest bit, though. So he said, and on their fifth anniversary, Ryan asked Maddie to marry him. And then he left a little gap, right? And it said, and Maddie said.

Exactly. Much like if you're at school and you've got to, do you want to go out with me? Yes, no. Tick yes or no. Yeah. There's a gap for me to write yes. And did you write i wrote yes but it took me a few times of reading the words to process it to figure out what was actually going on yeah and then i just stared at him

for a long time then i started crying and then he said, well, you've got to write something. Don't leave me hanging. Yeah, man, come on. So I wrote yes and that was that. We were engaged. So good. Yeah.

And did it right too. It wasn't too much. It wasn't too little. It was very us. Took you out for dinner. Perfect. Absolutely. Very us.

And then we celebrated with some wine. Yeah. Great. And some ice celebrated with some wine. Yeah. Great. And some ice cream. I thought this afternoon we should take some proposal stories. I would love this. Good and bad. So did you have an epic proposal or did you have an epic fail of a proposal?

Like we said, it doesn't necessarily mean that you didn't say yes or they didn't say yes or you're not a happy couple now. Just something about the proposal was either really, really good or really, really not so good. I've heard some fantastic stories over the years, both good and bad. Yeah. Yeah. Share your proposal story with us this afternoon, 0800DIALZM, or you can text it in to 9696.

We'd love to hear from you. Bree and Clint. Last week, news came out over the weekend, and you're currently breaking the news to everybody. It's such cool news to share. It's so good. And do you know what? Everyone has been so lovely as well.

I've been really, yeah. Well, thank goodness. Imagine if they weren't. I know. Imagine if they're like, ooh, yeah. You? Who would marry you? Yeah, or like, it'll never last.

Him? Yeah, I'd expect them to be lovely. So I thought off the back of your proposal story, which is a success, you know, it's a positive proposal story. Let's take some proposal stories to air, good and bad, okay? Let's celebrate bad proposals.

Totally. You know, normalise a bad proposal. Someone texted and said, my husband had organised a night away at a Flash hotel for my birthday. It was really romantic, but he was too nervous to do it, so we ended up proposing in our bedroom at home as I was unpacking the next day. Actually, it's a good point.

I think the nerves gets the better of some people. I bet they do. And they choke up. My good friend Sharon always brings up the fact that her husband Bryce proposed to her over the rubbish bins. Really? Yeah, while she was taking the rubbish out. Which he doesn't enjoy that story being told,

so again, sorry for bringing that story up. But you know, the pressure. Sometimes it's just easier to do it over the rubbish. I don't know. Tama is here. Kia ora, Tama. Kia ora. Kia ora.

You got a good proposal story or a bad proposal story for us? Pretty good, I think. Okay, good. Did you propose? Yes, I proposed. All right, give it to us. What did you do? So, I just, yeah, my partner and my child at the time liked Kinder Surprises, so it was real spare at the moment when I decided to propose in Doro and I wanted it to obviously be special. Yeah. So I brought two or three kinder surprises at practice, taking them apart and then putting it back together

without mounting the air back together, without it being noticeable. And the hardest part was actually trying to wrap the tinfoil back around. Yes. But obviously inside I'd done up a nice little message and had the ring inside. Tama. I love that, Tama. That's an excellent way to propose.

That's so good. I'm imagining you like a surgeon carefully trying to remove the tinfoil from the original Kinder Surprise without ripping it. You must have had to go through a few Kinders to get that right. Yeah, probably so so went through about three or four. Also, there's a big risk that you give the wrong one to the wrong person. What if you'd given the proposal kinder surprise to the kid instead of to your partner and then you had to take the ring away from the kid? Well, I actually thought that

happened. Funny you should say. My daughter opened hers first or they both opened it. My partner just started scoffing her chocolate, face full of chocolate, and my daughter opened the chocolate straight to the toy, obviously, being a kid. And she's like, Mum, I got a ring. What did you get? And I'm like, oh, no, did I give her the wrong one?

And then, yeah, now look, she happened to have a toy ring. A toy ring, oh, thank God. And then, yeah, my partner, she was like, yeah, face full of chocolate. Yeah, opened up hers and the ring dropped out. And she's like, what? And then looked at it, must be thinking, this don't look like a toy. And then, yeah, got the little instructions or the letter. And then, yeah, just kind of gobsmacked and froze for a bit,

then jumped to her feet. And, yeah, she was fully pregnant too at the time. So I've never seen a full-term pregnant woman get from sitting on the ground to her feet so far. But you have seen one scoff chocolate before, so that bit wasn't too far. Oh, I love that. Just thinking Kinder surprises had gotten really bougie.

Kim's here. Hi, Kim. Hey, team. How's it going? Good. Have you got a proposal success or a proposal failure for us? Proposal success. Hi, Kim. Hey, team. How's it going? Good. Have you got a proposal success or a proposal failure for us? Proposal success. Okay, good. Lay it on us. So my partner or fiance now actually tried five times to propose.

Oh, okay. Did you say no four times? Did you know that he was trying all those times or they just didn't work out for him? The two were ruined by the weather. Right, okay. One, he was going to propose at the top

of our friend's farm but ended up having to put her dog down so he was like, this is a bit of a kill buzz. Oh, totally, like literally a buzz kill. Yeah.

Okay. Let's just celebrate the fact that he had the presence of mind to delay the proposal. Maybe not. Maybe not on the occasion. Yeah, especially in a rural setting would go, well, I've got to get this dog bit done,

and then we'll kick on to the proposal bit. So, no, good for him. Okay, that's proposal number three. Yeah, so number four was apparently my fault. I was taking too long and buggering around, and he didn't get time to do it when he wanted to. Right, okay, that's all on you. Yeah, and then number five, he finally did drop the knee at the top of the Port Hills in Christchurch.

Hey, got there in the end. So he was like, oh, we need to go sightseeing and took a friend with us to the top and, yeah, got photos of the whole thing. Oh, wonderful. Two severe weather events and a dead dog later, you got the ring. Congratulations, Kim.

Yeah. I just love it, though, when I hear so many stories of women being like, why am I doing this? Why do you want me to go to the beach? Why are we here? Why do you want me to do this? And the guys are just going, just do what I asked you to do. I'm trying to make this special here.

Good. Okay, thank you, Kim. Thank you for your story. Madeline's here. Kia ora, Madeline. Hi, how are you? Good. How are you this special, you. Good. Okay, thank you, Kim. Thank you for your story. Madeline's here. Kia ora, Madeline. Hi, how are you? Good, how are you? Good, thanks.

Tell us your proposal story, Madeline. So I was working as a pet feeder in London and Hiroko sent me around to meet a new client at their house and it was really late at night, quite dark. And I get to this random house and my now husband is dressed head to toe as a cat, like with a mask on, so I don't know it's him. And I freak out because it's really dark.

And I start running down the road. And there's a human-sized cat at the door. Yeah, you're thinking that you'd rather come to some fetishist's house who wants you to feed them like a cat. Or like Maddie said, it's the world's biggest cat. Okay, so you run away? Yeah, he chases after me. I run even faster. He eventually takes his mask off and yells my name and I realise what's going on. And after I hit him and

I wet my pants, he proposes in the middle of the footpath. And then I said yes. But then he had arranged time off with my work, so we went dog sledging in the Arctic Circle for a week afterwards. Okay, well, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that kind of makes up for it. I mean, I love the guy, but what a weird fish.

Oh, so weird. Okay, I'm just trying to think of the thought process. He's like, okay. And he's bouncing it off his mates too. He's like, she loves cats. I'll book her as a cat fader. Of course I'll wear a cat costume. Not a lot of thought, I don't think. Oh, right, okay.

Well, there's a bit of planning involved. Yeah. Hey, great story, Maddie. Thank you for sharing it with us. Yeah. Meow. Bree and Clint. Hey.

Okay, that means that all three songs are back up for grabs. Producer Anastasia, what is the winner of Birthday Banger this afternoon? You guys are going to hate me. Or you're going to choose Robbie Williams. He's a legend. I love that song. I mean, good for Sarah, I guess.

Congratulations, Sarah. You just won Birthday Banger. That's sweet. It's a good song, you know. It's a good song. It is. Ignore the video clip. All right, there you go.

Here's your birthday banger. From what year, Matty? 2000. Here's Robbie Williams on ZM. Me with the floor show, kicking with your torso. Boys getting high. Brian Clint. The protests in Wellington outside of Parliament

and all over the streets of central Wellington is entering its... Well, it's just wrapping up its 14th day. Two weeks now. It's a long time. It's a long time for that part of the city to be shut down. The streets of central Wellington is entering its, well, it's just wrapping up its 14th day. Two weeks now. It's a long time. It's a long time for that part of the city to be shut down. It's a long time to live outside on the lawns of Parliament.

And what's really going on there? What are things like today? We're going to find out. We're crossing live now to Newstalk ZB reporter, Nick James. Kia ora, Nick. Kia ora. How are you? We're good. We're fine, but we're in the confines of a studio.

How are things going in Wellington? Yeah, I mean, it's pretty disruptive here, to be honest. I've been here sort of on and off for, I guess, the last sort of, what, 14 days that it's been running. And, yeah, it's pretty full on, to be honest. There's not much movement happening here. Yeah, we're looking at live pictures at the moment, and it's almost like they've set up a little makeshift town. It really does kind of feel almost like a permanent wee community there.

Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, it's essentially like a festival, really. You know, looking out from Parliament here, it's just a sea of tents, you know, dozens and dozens of tents. And they just go all around the precinct, really. I went down Molesworth Street before, and there's marquee seats up. It's kind of going off there, really. People are getting burgers, free coffee, you know, just, yeah, and you know, water and everything.

It's a full-on operation, really. That's the weirdest thing. The government have asked them to leave. The Wellington City Council have asked them to leave. Mana Whenua and all of the local iwi have asked them to leave, but they won't leave. Has anybody said what it will

take for the protesters to leave Parliament yet, Nick? I mean, that's the million dollar question, really. You know, they've said that they won't leave until the mandate's over. Obviously, the government have decided that they're not going to sort of acknowledge or talk to them until they leave. So it's essentially a gridlock, really. A standoff. Everything's at a standstill.

Yeah. And no one, you know, no side is either prepared to move. So, you know, it's, yeah, it's up in the air what's going to happen next, really. We saw this morning police came in with these big concrete barricades and they closed off part of Molesworth Street. Is there a sense that maybe the police are going to really ramp up their activity there? Yeah, I mean, there's been a few sort of situations over the last couple of days where police have upped their presence, definitely.

There was a situation yesterday around three o'clock where there was a bigger police presence around Parliament. And obviously this morning there was those clashes we saw where those concrete barriers got put up, essentially to stop the protest getting bigger because it had been getting bigger over the past few days. So, yeah, it's really, you know, I guess no one knows what police is going to do next. Only police do. But, yeah, it's a tough situation, especially for Wellingtonians, you know, that are really doing it tough at the moment. There's been some reports of shocking behaviour coming out of the protest and protesters down there in Wellington over the last two weeks,

particularly towards journalists and members of the media as well. Like, you guys are the enemy, Nick, as far as some of these people are concerned. As a reporter, has that changed? Do you feel more comfortable, more safe, less safe? Or what's the feeling for you as a journo down there? I mean, it's a strange feeling, really, because you want to go down and cover it

and hear out their side of the story essentially and understand what they're talking about. But when you're being threatened and we had a situation the other day where they were shining lasers at our eyes and you're essentially not felt very welcome down there. Oh no, definitely not. It makes it hard to do your job, but, you know, you try. And there are some, you know, people there who are prepared to talk and not be nasty, but it does, you know, it does worry you a bit. And obviously there's the COVID risk as well, which, you know, no one wants to.

No, there's not many masks in the protest, is there, Nick? There's not much social distancing going on at the Wellington protest. Not at all. All right, well, hey, we appreciate your insight and your time. Stay safe, and thank you for bringing the information to the people. That is Nick James, Newstalk ZB reporter, crossing to us live from Parimata Parliament at the moment. It really is a stalemate, right?

It's the weirdest thing, and it's quite like an intriguing live stream too. It's fun to watch. Totally. I'm going to read you this headline, Matty. Okay. And you tell me if this one has crossed your desk. Am I going to wince? I think so.

It's from the Winter Olympics, from the cross-country skiing. Headline reads, and this is from Reuters, by the way. Reputable news source. Very reputable. It's where we get a lot of our international news from. It's not a BuzzFeed story or a Ladd Bible story. It's a real news story. Finland's Remy suffers frozen penis in cross-country ski race.

Oh, oh, oh, no. I don't like that. I got a sting for it, too. Remy Lindholm needed a... This is from the story. This is not me waxing lyrical. Remy Lindholm needed a heat pack at the end of the race to thaw out a particularly sensitive body part.

Lindholm spent under an hour and just under an hour and 16 minutes traversing the course and howling freezing cold winds, leading to his penis being frozen for the second time following a similar incident in Finland last year. Where's your protection? I actually was looking for that in the story and they talked about the fact that because you're a cross-country skier you need a lot of movement you need quite good like aerodynamics and things like that so the outfit they wear is very thin it's like almost sheer yeah a pair of a

pair of long johns though surely it makes me wonder too because you know when you see people out in the cold and quite often the hair around their mouth, like their moustache or stuff, they'll get icicles on it? Yeah. It's because there's moisture in your breath. So was there moisture in his undercarriage which caused his penis to freeze? I mean maybe he got a little nervous before the... Oh yeah, a little pee-pee. A little nervous wee.

It's very cold in Beijing at the moment. Absolutely. Ash Tullock, who is a reporter for the Olympics, she's a Kiwi, she's talked to us before, she posted a story the other day where her eyebrows were frozen. And you know how they talk about the real temperature and the real feel temperature? You all know that.

Yes. She said the real feel temperature was negative 36 degrees. So imagine that on your penis. So wait, just an hour with a heat pack is all you need to solve the issue? So he explained that as he used the heat pack to try and thaw out his appendage The pain was unbearable Because I imagine when it's frozen it's numb But he said as it started to warm up the pain really set in

Imagine if you got a little excited with the frozen penis. Well, could you? Could you? Maybe you couldn't. Maybe if it's numb, maybe that'd stop that from happening. It's a challenge for anyone. If anyone goes to Queenstown Winterfest this year

with a partner. Please, let us know. Report back. We'll have you on air. Yeah. You're planning a wedding. You could get married in Queenstown. Right.

Some little willy-warmers for the guests after a story like this. Although we'll all wear pants and not lycra, I imagine. But yeah, there you go. You can take that one into the newsroom for tomorrow. Finland's cross-country skier suffers frozen penis in race at the Beijing Winter Olympics. John Campbell will be thrilled. Yeah, this is the content he likes. Exactly.

This is right up his alley.
