The ZM Podcast Network What's going on everybody? Welcome to the Brian Clinton Podcast With Matty Shout out to all our Kiwi listeners who are in Australia who found out today they get to come home So good, that's huge news. So the Prime Minister's announced that you don't have to self-isolate anymore if you come home from Wednesday? From Wednesday, yeah. Which means, theoretically, you could go for a trip to Australia if you wanted to. This weekend?

You could go this weekend and you could just come home. Totally. If you wanted to. You know, if you wanted to just pop over there. I've got mates in Australia. No one's been anywhere for two years. I was about to say, I haven't been for ages. No shit, bro.

No one's been anywhere. My brother's there. My sister's about to move over there. So this is huge news for our family. Yeah.'s been anywhere. My brother's there. My sister's about to move over there so this is huge news for our family. Yeah. It'll be big for Brie too.

I hope it applies to because Brie's not a Kiwi but she's an honorary Kiwi. She works here. She'll be fine. She'll be fine. Well I hope it means that people who live

and work here because she's been here for almost four years. I'd say as long as you if you've got an address in New Zealand you'll be sweet as. You reckon?

Yeah definitely. She'll be good to go. Or she'll be chomping at the bit to do that and get over there and see her family. I know she will as soon as she gets back from this secret project. Very secret. Don't ask us. We can't tell you. We check us every year at this time.

We can't tell you. But it's a secret. Amen, it's a secret. Yeah, yeah, big secret, mate. Yeah. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Nobody could ever figure it out No

Yeah yeah yeah A TV show What could that possibly be That Brie is on RuPaul's What could that possibly be That's why we had What's her name

From RuPaul's Drag Race Michelle Visage Oh Yeah Is it She was recruiting Brie Cool Anything exciting to report

From the weekend That we didn't cover Buddy Ben went for a hike Around Mount Taranaki on the weekend. Craziness. He drove there. How long was the drive there, Ben? Five hours it took me. Five hour drive there, five hour drive back. How long was the hike? I did an overnight of it. It was about 30km.

Doesn't sound relaxing at all. No, it was relaxing though. Don't you want to just get to the weekend, put some trackies on, sit on the couch and watch TV? Yeah, I've done that. I did that weekend before yeah i do it every weekend yeah why don't you fly there just fly i did think about that yeah uh and then and then chopper up the mountains take a little picnic basket some cold beers i did take some beers yeah did you do you take beers hiking yeah how do you keep them cold? Hike fast.

You know, I've got a hack for this, actually. No, tell me. Because my ex-girlfriend's family were yachties, and so we'd go out on the boat with them, and they'd go for like a week at a time, put the beers, the cans of beer, in the freezer, freeze them, like rock solid, and then they act as your chilli bricks

and whatever you're taking keeps whatever your food is cold, and then by day two or so they're fully defrosted and then you drink them and they're still cold. But does defrosted beer

taste alright? Yeah, it's fine. It's completely fine. Okay. As long as you haven't opened it before it defrosts, then it's fine. My issue with that would be

your stuff would get wet. Why? Because it was defrosting and it was getting cold and damp and wet. Well, no, it's only sweating a with that would be Your stuff would get wet Why? Because it was defrosting It was getting cold and damp and wet Well no It's only sweating a little bit Put the cans inside some Ziploc bags Oh yeah you could do that

A lot of admin Not that much admin Just freeze your beer Just freeze your beer Ben Yeah Well if you don't want cold beer At the end of a long hike I can

I don't know what's wrong with you That must be That must be so nice though Getting up the top And then cracking open A cold brewski. A nice warm beer. Cold brewski.

Yeah, that does sound nice. It is nice. Anastasia, what was the most active thing you did over the weekend? You know, just walked around. Walked to my mate's place. Oh, yeah? Yeah, it was an hour away, but not 30k's. That was anticlimactic.

Yeah, well, why? Iclimatic I walked to the dairy and got some chips Yeah I did that too Lisa's had a payoff in nostalgia Had some chips at the end of it My favourite chips I wasn't expecting to need to tell a story My favourite chips they stopped making

Oh the thick cut sour cream I went to the dairy the other day. Guess what was on the shelf at the dairy? Okay, a few questions. Were they nearly expired? No, they were a brand new box. Did you buy them out? I bought three packets.

Oh, amazing. I should have bought more. I reckon you should look at the date because if they're expiring in a couple of months, it means they just had heaps of stock. Yeah, but if this is favourite chip you'd eat them after Oh no I'm not saying, no I'm just meaning

to say don't think that they're coming back Right I've been lulled into a false sense of security Yes well now you're making, I feel bad saying that, I'm just saying be apprehensive No it's good You've set my expectations low.

Should we call the dairy? And then, you know, next time I... They won't know. They just put it on the shelf. Totally. And this dairy actually is right across the road so it's very convenient. But it's actually a shit dairy because quite a few times I've gone to

get something off the shelf and then looked at the expiry date and it's completely expired. And then I start looking at all the other products around it, all expired. Yeah, yeah. Well, it's because it's a niche item. The dairy doesn't specialise in niche items. They buy one thing of dishwasher tablets

because no one goes in there to get those things. So they just sit there. Dairies, quite often you see packaging that you haven't seen on the shelves for like three or four years. You're like, holy shit, this company doesn't even exist anymore. Yeah, I'm sure they changed their logo. This is vintage. And the guy's like, full price. Okay.

Well, Ben, you win. Well, what did you do? Oh, I didn't expect to have this turn back on me. See, that's how it feels. You watched a TV show. Oh, yeah, I watched. You were sending me on me. See? That's how it feels. You watched a TV show. Oh, yeah, I watched. You were sending me updates over the weekend.

That's right. I watched Lula Rich on Amazon Prime. Good show. All about pyramid schemes. We talked about pyramid schemes last week. No, no, no, no.

Multi-level marketing. Sorry, multi-level marketing. Girl boss energy. Thanks, Matty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or boy boss. Nah, this show's all girl boss energy.

It is actually all girl bosses. Oh, well, you two could be the next legging sellers. Boy boss energy. Boy boss, yeah. Anastasia, a boy boss is just a boss, okay? Now here's the podcast, everybody. Enjoy. Oh, I wasn two, one. The name is Bree Inclins.

Sully. Blame the baby brain. Yeah, yeah. It's all foggy up there. Brian Clint. I have discovered this thing that I love watching on TikTok. It's obviously, I mean, I guess part of it is I've clearly liked a few videos, so now it's just part of my algorithm.

TikTok's gone, oh, you're into that, are you? I'm going to give you heaps of that. And I'm not mad at it because they're good videos. Well, for the most part, they are videos of people's ring cameras on their front doors. Oh, the smart cameras. Yes, and so they'll capture

delivery drivers biffing packages at the front door or they'll someone drunk stumbling up the door and then doorstep and then falling over. Or ding-dong ditch. Exactly. Kids coming and ringing the bell and then running away. Actually, there was a really good one of a kid doing that the other day and then he ran away and then immediately fell over.

Face planted. Face planted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he kept running and then face planted again. Anyway, so you get my point, right? But this one ring camera video that I saw today has captured a guy's really bad day at work. Okay. So he's a real estate agent in the US

and he is a junior in the real estate firm that he works for. And so clearly an agent has said, hey, I'm too busy to go and show these people a house that they're interested in. Can you go and take them through? Sure. Can you show them the house? Yeah.

And the guy's gone, absolutely. So the real estate agent in charge has said to this guy, the back door's unlocked, so all you need to do is go to the back door, open it up, take them through, show them around, and it'll take care of itself. They can just tell them to go wander through and see if they like it. Perfect. So the guy's gone to the door, opened it, shown the family around,

been in there for maybe about 15 minutes while they kind of poke around, open cabinets, closets, go through bedrooms, wander through the kitchen, all the things that you want to see in a house if you're thinking of buying it. Yeah. And then they walk outside to two police cars in the driveway because he's gotten the wrong house.

Oh, no. Oh, shit. There's another house that happened to have a backdoor open. The next door neighbours, who happened to have their backdoor unlocked as well. Yeah. And he's taken them through the wrong house. So did they know that he was in their house

because of their ring camera? Yes. And so then they were able to go call the police. Yeah, because there's strangers. There's people in our house. About three of them. Wow. obviously call the police because there's strangers in our house. About three of them going through the house and opening cabinets

and going through bedrooms. And so clearly they think there's someone robbing me. So they call the police. Two police cars show up. Yeah. Not a good day at work for the junior in the office.

Even more awkward if the couple liked the house. Totally. And they're like, we'll take it. I want it. Our hearts are set on this house. We want it. And they're like, well, take it. I want it. Our hearts are set on this house. We want it.

And then you realise, oh, shit, this one's not for sale. What if the other couple are willing to sell it? I know you thought we were trying to rob you, but how about we give you one and a half million dollars? We just want to buy your house instead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, bad day at work, bad day on the tools. That's a workplace fail, especially for the new person.

Totally. We have that all the time. And you would get it no matter what job you have. If you have an apprentice or a young person working in the kitchen with you. 100%. In radio in particular, the most common fail for the newbie, the one straight out of radio training school is accidents in the promo vehicles. Right.

I remember someone who just started with us took one of the vehicles out onto the motorway, didn't put any gas in it. And it broke down. And it broke down on their first day on the motorway in rush hour traffic. And they hadn't even pulled it over to the side of the road. So they had blocked a lane of traffic. Oh, God. Because the vehicle had run out of gas.

And those things are meant to be billboards for the company. You'd cry. You would actually cry, wouldn't you? In the meantime, everyone's going, who has caused all this traffic? It's bloody ZM. Bloody ZM. Let's take some calls this afternoon on workplace fails. Please.

Maybe it was you as the new person. Maybe it was someone who just started with you and they were just absolutely mortified with you. Because it happens. It happens to the best of people, right? Do you know know we're famous for them at tvnz first live crosses ever oh yeah didn't you almost get arrested i almost got arrested i sung on my first live cross that's right yeah it's not good yeah but look at you

now right now see that's what can happen call us and share with us your workplace fails this afternoon oh 800 dials at m or you can text them into 9696 as well. What's up about workplace fails after a real estate agent took some people through the wrong house? Went next door and the door just happened to be unlocked so he went, sure I'll show you through.

Imagine if the house wasn't like tidy or presented well. The agent would have been like, um, lazy. You're not putting your best foot forward. Yeah, because we're houses not for sale. Exactly. Okay, and we've asked you guys to share your workplace fails. Maybe it was you, maybe it was the newbie.

What went down? First person wants to be anonymous. Hi, anonymous. Oh, is that me? Yes, it's you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What happened? Hey, I just wanted to let you guys know this happened this morning with my workmates.

Okay. We were on a Zoom call with our wider New Zealand team, and we're from the Christchurch office. Yeah. We had one of our Auckland people saying quite a sentimental story this morning in our catch-up, and we were on mute, but we all started laughing, and they were wondering why we were laughing. And my workmate had just farted, and it looked like we were laughing at what our workmate was saying that was really sentimental.

No! We were actually laughing because my workmate had farted, so we had to unmute ourselves and tell the whole entire New Zealand team that she had actually farted at him. They could see you guys laughing, but they couldn't hear you. That's even worse. Did you make the farter stand up

and deliver the message? It's their fault. Yeah, she delivered the message herself. She stood up proud and she delivered it like a champion. Brilliant. I mean, that's a fail on a number of different levels. The farting and the laughing over a sentimental story. Yeah, she said it in front of our big, big

boss as well. It would have been better if she farted off mute because at least there would have been context there, you know? Okay, Anonymous, thank you. That's very good. Another Anonymous work fail. No one wants to come forward. That's okay, though.

Hello, Anonymous. Hey. Hey, what happened? What was your workplace fail? So about a week after I handed in my resignation, I had a major forklift accident at work. No. Okay, so you've just quit.

So really pressure's off, right? Totally. And is that what happened? You were just like, screw it. No, no, precisely not. I was putting something up on the shelf and above the shelf above it, I managed to knock the shelf out and I damaged shelf above it, I managed to knock the shelf out,

and I damaged about $40,000 worth of professional audio speakers. No! What happens in that situation? Are you insured? Like, are you safe? Or do you have to pay for that on your last day of the job? No, no, the business claimed it, luckily. Oh, God.

I was expecting to be held accountable. You know what? That's the perfect opportunity and maybe the one time in your life where you say, you can't fire me. I quit. Yeah, that's exactly what I said. I said, well, at least you can't fire me. It's quite a dramatic way to leave the office though. Yeah, big flame out.

I bet his I'm leaving drinks were a whole lot less glamorous after that one. Finally, anonymous. Oh, man, everyone's staying anonymous. Nice. What was your workplace fail? Hello? Hello, that's you, yeah. Oh, hi.

So I'm a nurse in Taronga, and I went up to a patient. I hadn't read my notes. I went up to a patient and asked, where are your slippers? Are you going to get up out of bed? I pulled the blanket back to find they were a double amputee. No! Oh, no! So far, the most

embarrassing moment of my professional career. Anonymous. I'm cringing. I am cringing. My soul left my body, Matty. I reckon it did. I reckon it went off. Were they a good sport about it? He wasn't too impressed, but we laughed it off, as we always do.

We have lots of embarrassing moments being nurses, but we just have to just laugh it off. Yeah, that takes the cake, though. Where's your slippers? Of all the things you could have asked Anonymous. Yeah, it's the general rule when you get up out of bed, you've got to wear your slippers. I like to think that now whenever you go into a ward,

you just give them a pat on the leg. You're like, how are you going today, Mr. We've got two legs there. Mr. Johnson, let's find you some slippers. Yeah, you win, Anonymous. Thank you very much. Although I do like this one. Accidentally handed a 70-year-old dude a condom instead

of a business card at a networking event. Well, that's one way to get his business. I was at home the other day and a friend was over and I arrived at my house and I happened to be watching a rerun of Sex and the City

at the time oh yeah just that show one of those shows original Sex and the City or that new one no original

original right it's just one of those shows I put on time after time yeah and can watch over and over again I've just started it for the first time

so good Clint yeah mainly to get brownie points for my wife yeah I'm very proud I said babe I think I'm ready to watch Sex and the City. I'm so proud of you. So is she.

Guys, honestly, major brownie points. If you've got a millennial partner, just tell them you want to watch Sex and the City. So I had it up on the screen and my friend walked into the house and he looks at it. I paused it, you know, to welcome him in. And he looks at the screen and he goes, are you watching Charlie's Angels? What watching Charlie's Angels?

What? Charlie's Angels? And I said, no, this is Sex and the City and you're a gay man and you should know this. I get it. I get it. A group of kick-ass women. Were they holding guns? Were Miranda and Carrie holding guns? No guns. Were and carrie and carrie holding guns no guns

were there um high heel boots raised above their heads just one of them were they standing back to back destiny's child independent woman was not playing in the scene on sex in the city how old is your gay friend he's about 30. oh no excuse no. No excuse. No excuse. Nope. He was around. It's an insult to Sex and the City and Charlie's Angels. Totally. Right? And as a gay man, you should know the difference between both because both are iconic.

Both are in our wheelhouse, house, I would say, of things we should know. Yeah, I saw it. And so I tweeted and said, I'm revoking his gay card. You're taking it away. It's the rules. Well, I saw this, and I feel with that,

that you have claimed HGIC status, head gay in charge. Okay? If you want to be deciding who does and doesn't get to keep their gay cards, then let's put that to the test this afternoon. I'm happy to. Okay?

I think we should get as many gay people to call right now and put your gay card on the line. Matty's going to quiz you and see if, according to him, you deserve to hold on to it. These are all things you should know. It's like your gay education. Exactly. Okay.

And if you don't know, let me be your guy. There you go. Do you want to take the quiz? Are you willing to put your gay card up for grabs? Is that the right way to put it? Yes, because I will snatch it off you if you don't get these right. Maddie's collecting them at the moment. Bree and Clint.

Where are you now? Zed and Bree and Clint with Maddie. That's Lost Frequencies and Callum Scott. Where are you now? An appropriate song because where are the gays? Where are the gays? We wanted to put something to the test because my friend over the weekend

saw a photo of the Sex and the City gals and thought they were the cast of Charlie's Angels. And he's gay. And I said, that's not good enough. You should know this. You are threatened to revoke his gay card. I did. And so we wanted to put it to the test this afternoon

To see if you were willing to put your gay card on the line Yeah, would you take Matty's gay pop culture quiz? And no one's been willing to do it so far Everybody's too scared I think you're intimidating Well, I will Because they know that I'm serious So I thought instead

You and I have been friends for I don't want to age us But quite a while now Almost two decades Yeah Serious. So I thought instead, you and I have been friends for quite, I don't want to age us, but quite a while now. Almost two decades. Yeah. Close. Close. And so we've spent a lot of time together.

Your wife, Lucy, is almost a gay man trapped in a woman's body, basically. And so between the two of us, have we rubbed off on you? Oh, right. Okay. Yeah. Interesting choice of words. So to speak. So to speak. So to speak. So I thought

I would ask you these questions and see if you've had any kind of gay education over the last 15 or so years. Can I earn my gay card this afternoon? You can earn your gay card. I'm so up for that. I mean there's a couple of other things you'll have to do afterwards but let's start with this. Get me

entry level first, okay? Get me on the beginner's course. Well, this is a good one for you to start off with. Can you name, because you said you'd started watching the series, can you name the four Sex and the City characters? Oh, good one. Miranda. Yep. Samantha.

Correct. Carrie. You're so close. She's gone missing Has I The one who's left No that was Samantha Miranda Carrie

Starts with C You're so close Oh my god I just watched The whole new season Charlotte Charlotte Oh yeah!

1.38 million copies. What was the name of the Spice Girls debut single? Oh, I thought you were going to say debut album. Well, you could do that as well. I'll go easy on you. Spice World. Debut album, Spice World?

She was. Oh, go Kylie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, Britney Spears created quite the storm at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003 when she kissed which other pop queen? Madonna and Christina Aguilera.

Every straight guy knows that one. Uh-huh, honey. That wasn't a gay question, man. You're right. That question's for everybody. I remember that, yeah. Weirdly, they only, and if you look it up on YouTube, most of the clips have cropped out the Christina kiss.

Yeah, well, that's because they cut directly from Britney and Madonna kissing to see Justin Timberlake's reaction. Right. So then they missed the Madonna and Christina kiss. There you go, that's the super gay bonus fact that you're missing. And that's why you're in charge. Thank you. Am I four from four?

You're four from four. All right, let's see if I can get the whole lot. Can you name one of People Magazine's sexiest men alive from the last 10 years? Yes, I can. Yes, I can. Yeah, I can. Surely. Because there's one that I thought was really controversial.

Yeah. They've all got their shirts off. All got their shirts off. All very ripped. And then there's me and Ryan. So it's a post of Ryan, my partner, and very ripped. And then there's me and Ryan. So it's a post of Ryan, my partner, and I together. And we are fully clothed.

We are wearing sweaters. We are wearing hats. We are wearing jackets. Like literally every inch of our body has been wrapped up. You guys are wearing more clothing than all the other hot hunks combined. Combined. I know. So I thought I needed to get to the bottom of what exactly has gone on here. So I'd like to welcome to the show the man behind the Hot Hunks New Zealand Instagram page, Ryan.

Hello, how's it going? Good. So good. I want to know, first of all, why the hell i am on the hot cunts of new zealand instagram page ryan oh well obviously with you and ryan's recent engagement i just thought why not congratulate you guys yeah i think you you're an amazing couple so i just wanted to obviously you're not normally they well your heart and so is ryan but you know nice save there ryan nice save nice save what you're saying is I wouldn't usually be featured

on the Hot Hunks Instagram page. But your good news got you over the line. Hey, look, I'll take it, Ryan. I'll take it. I'm just looking at this page and it's celebrating a diverse range of Hot Hunks from throughout New Zealand, which I'm all about. But Matty's right. They're all shirtless. I was wondering, Ryan, from the Hot Hunks New Zealand, which I'm all about. But Matty's right. They're all shirtless.

I was wondering, Ryan, from the Hot Hunks New Zealand Instagram page, how much would you pay if I could get a shirtless photo of Matty McLean for the Instagram? Lots. Although maybe, Ryan, maybe there's just another way we can go about getting someone from the show on the Hot Hunks New Zealand Instagram page? Well, maybe Clint? Right, now I get what's going on here.

Do you happen to have a photo of Clint that maybe we could feature on the Hot Hunks Instagram page? No! Well, funny you say this, because actually, Clint, we've managed to approve a picture that you sent in from, I don't know, Cleo. No!

Hang on. So Clint has submitted his own photo to the Hot Hunks New Zealand Instagram page. Absolutely. I can totally put that up for you, Clint. I have successfully hidden this page for 10 years, okay? It is like a decade. A decade of radio I've managed to get away with this shoot not coming up. Where did you get that?

So hang on. So Ryan, are you saying you don't have anyone ready to go up today? No, I don't. Well, do I have the solution for you? Well, yeah, maybe you do. I mean, I've been sitting here for hours scrolling through, trying to find some new content. And you've been sitting on a photo that Clint Roberts submitted to himself,

what, months ago, was it? I did not. I did not. I did not submit this photo. But I will say, Ryan, from the Hot Hunks Instagram page, if you have to use a photo of me, I'd prefer you used one from 10 years ago. So I don't mind that. Does he make the cut, Ryan? Does he make the cut for Hot Hunks New Zealand?

100%. He had a big crush on Clint for a long time. Oh, have you? Thank you, Ryan. Thank you. Well, it's a big day for Matty and I. Both managed to get featured on the Hot Hunks. You know I'm going to dine out on this for years. Embarrassment aside. As am I, know I'm going to dine out on this for years. Embarrassment aside.

As am I, although I'm fully, fully clothed on my side. Well, send me a pic, Matt, and I'll be happy to pick you up. No, I'm good as is, Ryan. I'm good as is. I'm going to work on that now. Ryan from the Hot Hunks New Zealand Instagram page. Thanks, man. We appreciate your time.

No worries. The Prime Minister has just made a big announcement about the changes at the border. I can announce today that from 11.59pm Wednesday 2nd March, vaccinated travellers entering New Zealand will no longer need to self-isolate. That means from this Wednesday, Kiwis and eligible travellers arriving from Australia

will no longer need to self-isolate for seven days. Good news! It's huge. What do they say? Bring our people home. Yep. And honestly, I think it needed to happen. Oh, it needed to happen.

We had 14,500 COVID cases today. What are people going to bring in that we don't already have going around? Fruit. Oh, fruit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You still want to ditch your fruit at the border. You've got to test negative for COVID and bananas. Exactly.

Here joining us on the show, someone who's been doing some work on this for a long time, advocating for New Zealanders who are stuck overseas and weren't able to return home, is Martin from Grounded Kiwis. Kia ora, Martin. Kia ora. Hey, Martin. Congratulations. This is huge news, right?

Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to default waiting a couple of days until Wednesday. This is great news and a day to be celebrated. Yeah, this has got to be what you guys have been striving for and it's been a long time coming. People, I think, here in New Zealand, unless they've got a loved one stuck overseas,

might not appreciate how stressful and how upsetting this has been for Kiwis, even just across the ditch in Australia. Even though you could book yourself a spot on MIQ, that was bloody hard to do. What sort of toll has this taken on New Zealanders who haven't been able to come home, Martin? Well, a survey we did with our members said that 70% of those that responded had some kind of mental health stress,

panic attack, stress, depression, anxiety as a result of this. I mean, what I would say about MIQ is that so many of us would be very happy to do MIQ, completely understand the role it played in New Zealand's COVID response. The real thing that stung about MIQ is that there was not enough supply for people to come home when they needed to come home. Whether it's wanting to have a baby, whether it's to say goodbye to your mother or your loved one. That was the thing that really stung. So even if the government, if we wind the clock back to pre-Christmas last year, it would have done the world of good just to have enough spots for people that were prepared

to come home and do quarantine. And there was many, many thousands of people that would quite happily do that. Yeah, and we all heard those devastating stories of people who missed out on big events or the opportunity to say goodbye to loved ones. So this is going to be really exciting news for Kiwis who just desperately want to come home and see their families and friends, right? It's huge.

I mean, New Zealand has the second largest diaspora of any country in the OECD, just behind Ireland. You know, we pride ourselves on the Kiwi OE. And, you know, in the space of two years, we've gone from celebrating Kiwis that take flight and make it in the world to shunning them and grounding them and really calling them threats and talking them down for wanting to come back to New Zealand.

You know, it's really quite heartbreaking to see. And even, you know, the team of 5 million was very uniting for people in New Zealand, very divisive for people overseas because there's a million passport holders sitting around the world and it just shuts them out. And then, you know, you'd have these stories of MIQ, and just the level of vitriol and basically abuse that some of these people would cop for sticking their head up, for wanting to come home, was pretty hard to bear.

And you're talking about people that are coming home from London where they were stacking body bags in the street virtually and portable mortuaries. It's been really tough. We can hear it in your voice. There's a lot of pain going

on there that's been built up and a lot of anger I think as well from people who haven't been able to do this. It's great news that the borders are being properly opened now and that's being taken away. Are you planning a trip home, Martin? Are you going to get home now that the border has been opened? It's definitely

brought up the plans for sure. We were looking at school holidays because you've got two weeks you can have a week's South ISO and then you can have a week self ISO and then you can have a week's holiday but if I can try and squeeze a long weekend in very soon I'd love to do that

What's the first thing you'll do Martin when you get home? First thing that I will do it's usually try and either it will be

eating a bunch of New Zealand lollies and chocolates from the supermarket or probably going to a dairy and getting a tip top ice cream not wanting to plug

a particular brand but you know it's hard to go past as the grounded Kiwis account dog influencing the tip top ice cream? It's okay, you've got to pay those bills, Martin.

Nobody knows that more than me. Hey, congratulations. We're super excited for you guys. That's great news. If you missed it, the Prime Minister has just announced that from Wednesday, returning Kiwis from Australia will no longer need to even do home isolation. So good work.

Well done on all the hard work and all the stuff you guys have been through at Grounded Kiwis, Martin. We appreciate your time. I just want to say one more point that Kiwis from the rest of the world can come home from Friday, and that is a big acceleration in the timetable. It's an extra 10 days. It means a lot to a lot of people. So thank you.

Grounded Kiwis taking flight this week. There we go. We can't wait to see which New Zealanders come home with that English accent, even though they've only been gone for a year and a half. Bree and Clint. New Zealanders come home with that English accent, even though they've only been gone for a year and a half. Let's have a quick round of Guess That Voice. So Anastasia brings us celebrities, and you and I, Maddy, have to guess them as quickly as we can.

That laugh. I was watching him in the Pam and Tommy, Pam and Tommy, the show Pam and Tommy, the Pamela Anderson, Tommy Lee series that's on Disney Plus at the moment. And I got thinking,

do you think he's ever played a character that hasn't smoked weed? Because even this character smokes weed. And there's no need for this character to smoke weed. He's like, put in a scene where I smoke weed. Yeah, maybe that's just, you know, like celebrities have their riders. It's in his contract. It's in his contract.

Yeah, yeah. They're like, good news, we got you the stage weed. And he's like, no, no, give me the real stage weed. I could get down-trout here. I need this. Well done, Matty. Clint, behold on your buzzer. Let's hear celeb Voice number three. Wanting him to sign with... Clint.

Correct. He's going to be eating 1.3 billion chicken wings. How many chickens is that? Well, I'll tell you how many chickens it is. You cut the number in half, I got two wings each. You guys are really close here in this game. So this is it, right? It's come down to this.

Let's hear the fifth voice. Do you want to try and guess it before we play it? No, I'd rather not. What if we get it right? Throw out a name. Okay, I'm going to give you a category. Yeah.

Yeah. Two days before Christmas, moved into the house. We've been renovating, staying there with the family, kept it tight. And here we are starting off the new year. I was going to say Sean Penn. All right, all right, all right. Well done. You get the KFC chicken dollars.

Well, no, you don't actually. Someone else does. Someone who texts Matty to 9696 will get the KFC chicken dollars. The wonderful Georgia from ZM's Day Show joins us in studio now. Hi, Georgia. Hello, guys. Hi, Georgia. We were talking to you on Friday when you revealed a very intimate fact

about your recent trip to the beautician. Yeah, I honestly don't even know if I can look you properly in the eyes now. Well, I tell you, that's not where the beautician was looking. Okay, I just want to say it wasn't recent. I want to say just because I go to a different place now is what I want you to be offended. You don't want your new beautician to be tarred

with your old beautician's wax strip. Yes. Okay, got it. So I was, what, you know, lazy. You've got to get like 12 sessions maybe So I was what you know laser you gotta get like 12 sessions maybe. I was six sessions in and I was just rocking up as I normally do and there was a different girl doing my lasering. I was like oh

okay I guess I gotta get used to this. It's quite an intimate process right? I was just thinking that. You build up a relationship. You need to feel comfortable getting your foof out in front of someone right? You're fully there. They put a little strip of paper over top and then they take it off. So you're pretty much, you're all out there. Why do they do that?

Just like a Ferrero Rocher. This is a little teasy. Just be like, oh, unwrap it. Oh, there it is. Right, okay. So I'm sitting there and Ashley's like, all right, so legs up, spread them apart. And I was like, all right, here we go.

And she's like, iPad. At the very end of the bed. And I was like, I'm guessing maybe she's checking to see what session I'm up to. But I'm already there. She can see it all. And then it's like. Oh, my God. Like a boomer on a tourist holiday with their iPad taking photos.

But right up my tunnel. I'm just lying there. Oh, don't call it a tunnel. No, it's your tunnel. Call it whatever you want. So, okay, so without express permission and without checking first, your laser hair removalist went down

and took photos of your venute with an iPad. A venute? Yeah, that's a good way to put it. With an iPad. So for starters, it was the iPad that got me and I was like, this is widescreen. This isn't just on an iPhone. So we really get the whole shebang.

My head better not be in there. No. Because I don't want my face in there. No face, no disgrace. Also, your head would be slightly out of focus, like just looking down at what was going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, no face.

Is an iPad less concerning than an iPhone, though? Because iPhone, I'd be wondering they were sending them to their friends on WhatsApp. You know? iPad seems a little bit more like they're going to keep it in the ecosystem. Well, I don't even want it in their ecosystem. Yeah, and it's in the cloud now. So God knows who's got access to it.

So I took the iPad and deleted it. And I'm pretty sure from memory I've deleted it from the deleted folder because I forgot that that's a thing now. Why were they taking the pictures? Progress photos that no one wants. I don't want a progress photo. What's going on down there? They're a personal trainer.

What are you going to do? It's going to come to next summer and you're going to post it before and after on your Instagram. Hey guys, I've been really working hard over the last few weeks and I wanted to show you my progress. Laser works, in case anyone wanted to know. Yeah, wow. Okay, well now I think we understand why maybe you changed beauticians. Oh, yeah.

Is that part of it? That was part of it. And then I was a bit of a carer and I was like, can I speak to the manager? So you should. Did the iPad, last question about the iPad

because I can't get over the iPad. Did the iPad have one of those fold down covers on it and the cover was just flapping around like a boomer iPad when they take it on holiday? I wish it did, but it was a little bit more cooler than that.

But the sound was on, which makes it uncool. Did they also spin the iPad around and show you the... Did they show you the photos of what they'd taken? Yeah, because you've got to ask yourself if you really want to see those pictures, don't you?

I didn't take notice. A little bit of regret because I don't think I could ever get to that angle if I did say I want to take a photo of that myself. Who knows? You might have been really proud of it. Well, I reckon if it was worth filming. I didn't even get a pre-photo. So if it was worth filming six in, it must be pretty good looking. We want to know this afternoon, like Georgia,

have you had a beautician fail? Like have you had something really weird go on at the beauty salon, at the tanning place, whatever? Also, are you a beautician and is it normal to take progress photos of someone's downstairs region? Because I'm really worried for Georgia. I know. What if it's out there?

Our 100 dials at M or you can text them into 9696. We want to know your beauty therapy fails this afternoon. Brianne Clint. So we're talking beauty fails. I said beautician fails. We've been told off, Maddie. Someone said, please stop saying beautician. It's beauty therapist. I said beautician fails. We've been told off, Maddie. Someone said, please stop saying beautician.

It's beauty therapist. Okay, and we talked about how George's beauty therapist took photos of her hoo-ha on their iPad so she could offer her client a before and after for the laser hair removal. Someone said no photo should ever be taken without permission, especially if

someone's cookie. Is that what you call it? Is that what you call it? Is that what you call it, Anastasia? Is that what a beauty therapist calls it? Is that the technical term for it? No, that's not what I call it, but she might. I like it. It's on the pricing menu. It's like, well, you can de-hair your cookie

for 12 sessions of $49.95. I've got no idea how these things work. So what is your beauty therapist fail? Lydia's here. Kia ora,49.95. I've got no idea how these things work. So what is your beauty therapist fail? Lydia's here. Kia ora, Lydia. Hi. Hi.

What happened to you? So I was getting a wax and my beauty therapist started, she was very spiritual, and then halfway through the wax she started talking about how she was kind of feeling the ghost of her mother in the room and started channeling her and was kind of telling me what she was saying and how she was feeling. And I was just kind of lay there like, am I going to see her? Is she going to pop in?

Like what's going on? And she just spent the rest of the session basically having a chat to her mum. Were you getting your downstairs done? Yeah. And so she's saying that her dead mum's spirit is inside your downstairs. Well, I mean, yeah, maybe.

Wow. I mean, it's a magical place. It is. That's where life comes from. But I didn't know it could hold spirits of dead mothers as well. And so she was doing the work.

She was doing her job and talking to her mum at the same time. Yeah, she wasn't even looking at me. Wow. Well, can you blame her? She's got a lot to catch up on. They'd probably not seen each other in a while. Exactly. Wow.

Okay, thanks for sharing that, Lydia. Someone texted and said, I went for a massage in Rio. It turned out to be a brothel. My masseuse was in her bra and undies and the bed was covered in plastic wrap. Oh! Wow.

Got more for you bargained for there. Ella's on the phone. Hey, Ella. Hi. What happened? So it was the week of my school ball, or formal, whatever, and I was bleached blonde hair.

And the beauty therapist was black. Did you ask? Did you ask for a dark brown? No, I just asked for like, she usually does them. And just asked me, you know, do what you normally do, you know. And then she takes a tint off and goes, oh, they're probably too black. But oh, well, you'll get over it. I was like, um.

So was that an accidental dyeing? takes the tint off and goes, oh, they're probably too black, but oh, well, you'll get over it. I was like, um, what the? So was that an accidental dyeing, or did she just take it upon herself to decide what colour they should be? Oh, I actually have no idea. I didn't go back. I didn't talk to her. I kind of walked out in tears and was like, no, sorry. You had mints and cheese eyebrows.

Pretty much. And the lead up to the school ball as well. Yeah. I mean, look, looking back at school ball photos is never great at the best of times. Look, Ella, even if you hadn't had the eyebrows done, if I look at mine now, they're shocking. Like you think you look so good at your school ball. You have no idea. I mean, you did have an eyebrow piercing.

Me? Oh, yeah. Did you? I think I did actually, yeah. I was dressed as James Bond with an eyebrow piercing. Thanks, Ella. One more call from Georgie. Hi, Georgie.

Hi, how's it going? Good, how are you? Good, thank you. Are you okay? What's happened? So I went to get like a full Brazilian wax, and when it came to the end and she went to, the beauty therapist went to do the behind part,

she asked me to bring my knees up to my chest, which I hadn't really done it like that before, but thought, okay. But I must not have been centered on the table because when I brought my knees up, I just kept going backwards and the whole table flipped up on me. I was sprawled there, like completely naked from the waist down. With the table on me and it made such a loud noise that, like, all the other ladies came in from reception.

No! No! Meanwhile, you're bent up like a naked pretzel with your downstairs on display for everybody to see. No! Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and then they had to, like, lift the, like, team effort to lift the table up. That'd be a hell of a description to write on your ACC claim for vaginal, right?

Yeah, for sure. Thanks, Georgie. It's a great story. I have not talked about vaginas this much in a very long time. Me neither, to be honest. You especially. Bree and Clint. Hey. It's my birthday. It's my birthday. Me neither, to be honest. You especially. The number one song on your 16th birthday,

and then we play the best one that we find this afternoon out in full. People wait a long time to get the call-up to be on Birthday Banger as well. Ages. Ages and ages. So you really hope that the song that they get is worth it? Totally. You feel bad when they get a stinker. But that's just the way it goes sometimes. We're hoping for a good one for you, Amy.

Hi. Hiya. How are you? How's your day going? Oh, yeah, I've been at work all day, but I've been eating pretty good. Good. Give us your birthday, Amy,

and we'll work out your birthday banger. 11th of June, 1997. All right, Amy, you were 16 on the 11th of June, 2013, and this is your birthday banger. Banger. Lorde's second single, I think. Yeah, one of the originals. She's only 16 from Pure Heroine. You get Tennis Court, I think. Yeah, one of the originals. She's only 16. From Pure Heroine, you get Tennis Court.

Do you like it, Amy? Yeah, definitely a tune for sure. Totally. We like that one. Okay, wait there. We'll do a birthday banger for Kyla. Hi, Kyla. Hey, Kyla.

Hey, how are you? Good. Doing all right? Yeah, yeah. It's going a bit. Yep. This seems to be the way today. You haven't got COVID yet, have you, Kyla?

No, thank God. You're dodging it like Maddie and I. Like it's laser tag. Exactly. Pew, pew, pew, pew. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Okay, like we're in the Matrix.

Long may that last for you. What's your birthday, Kyla? The 3rd of August, 1996. All right, Kyla, you were 16 on the 3rd of August, 2012, and this was topping the charts. Oh, banger as well. Are you a T-Swift fan?

Not really, but my little sister would like it, I guess. Okay. You don't have good 16-year-old memories of this? Not exactly. Not really the kind of music I listen to,

but that's all right. Were you an emo? I reckon you were more of an emo, right? Okay, wait there, Kyla. We'll do one more for Gary. Kia ora, Gary. Hey, how you going?

Good, how are you, Gary? Yeah, not bad, not bad. Not bad, awesome. Hey, Gary, when's your going? Good. How are you, Gary? Yeah, not bad, not bad. Not bad. Awesome. Hey, Gary, when's your birthday? 25th of July, 1967. 67. Good man.

You were 16 on the 25th of July, 1983, and this was the number one song. Huge banger, Gaz. Yep, I remember that. I do too. What were you doing in 1983 when this was number one? Oh, God, I hate to think. Did you have leg warmers on?

Some tights with that leotard over the top? Working at the steel mill? Hey, good one, Gaz. I reckon it's so good, I'm going to vote for it. I vote for your birthday banger today. Do you know what? I'm going to vote for it. I vote for your birthday banger today. Do you know what? I'm going to vote for Irene Cara as well. Are you?

Yeah. Hey, Gary, congratulations, mate. You just won birthday banger. Awesome. There you go. Enjoy that for a Monday. Oh, yeah, we're going to watch the music video while this plays. Party like it's 1983.

Brian Clint with Maddie ZM. Brian Clint with Matty ZM. Do you know what I love on Twitter is the intensity of the fans of pop stars. Oh, yeah. Twitter's like their safe space, eh? Totally. Because Facebook, they're too open to criticism, but Twitter, go ham, right? Yeah. And you can tweet constantly.

And what I've found is that quite often some people will start really popular Twitter accounts, which are literally just updates about their favorite pop star. Well, the movements of them. Did you see that guy who set up a Twitter account that just tracked Elon Musk's plane? No. It just told you where Elon Musk's private jet was at any moment. And Elon Musk ended up offering the kid money to take the account down. I mean, there are some great Twitter accounts.

There's also one that just tweets every day, once a day, every day, telling you whether the transmission gully is open or not. Yes. Yeah, and that's always just, no. There's another? Not today. Just one more. There's one that just tweets every day whether Jeff Bezos has decided

to end world hunger or not. Because bezos has decided to end world hunger or not because he has enough money to end world hunger and it just every day it tweets jeff bezos has chosen not to end world hunger today it's like cool okay thank you for the update well there's one called gaga daily which is one of a number of lady gaga fan accounts right yeah but this one's really popular it's got uh half a million followers on Twitter. Whoa, they must be credible then. Totally. They must do their research.

They must publish facts about Lady Gaga. Yep. Apparently, according to their bio, Lady Gaga has tweeted, maybe this is just in jest, but it says, when I go to see what my fans are saying, I go on Gaga daily. She's endorsed the account. She's endorsed the account.'s endorsed the account that'll get you going yeah so this person knows what they're doing but they hadn't tweeted in a wee while and i guess that's unusual for an account that is called gaga daily you expect something every day every day yeah to not have an update on what your favorite pop star's doing is concerning.

Are they sick? Have they gone off Gaga? Have they gone off Gaga? Maybe their account's going to be shut down. No, no. This person had a really credible reason for not tweeting an update. Right.

But it's just the tweet that came as an explanation that has got me laughing hysterically today. It says, Sorry about the lack of updates. Got arrested at the Ukraine-Russia protest in Moscow. Anyway, who's excited to see Lady Gaga tonight at the SAG Awards? And that's the thing about Lady Gaga.

Fans, they're dedicated. Totally. They're politically minded. They're socially active, you know? In my mind, they've literally gotten out of jail, been handed their phone, and the first thing, they're walking down the steps. First things first. They're walking down the steps of the prison,

and the first thing they tweet about is Lady Gaga at the SAG Awards. SAG Awards. Well, there you go. Something to aspire to, Gaga fans. You don't love Lady Gaga unless you love her Exactly, and look they're politically minded as well You've got to love them Oh yeah, they're everything
