The ZM Podcast Network Welcome to the Brie and Clint podcast featuring Matty everybody Matty Matty Anybody call you Matthew? No No one? No, I was Matthew up until about the age of 10

Yeah Then I was Matt Yeah I got called Matdie occasionally at broadcasting school but i reckon you probably actually called me matt i called you matt you're on my phone as matt yeah because it's the contact that's been copied over from 2005 but then i got to tvnz uh and my first on-air job was on breakfast as a reporter when paul and paippa Wetzel were the co-hosts. And on my first day, I did my cross and I called myself Matt. And then on the second day, Paul started the live cross by saying,

Pippa and I have been talking since you appeared yesterday and we've decided you don't look like a Matt. We think you look like a Matty. Is that how it happened? And that was day two of tvnz and ever since then i've been maddie so are you comfortable with it yeah i've totally it's just become part of my life because at the time i was like oh my god i'm just on tv call me whatever you want yeah yeah yeah and now i'm just it's just become part of who i am i'm so curious as to how

the evolution of people's names comes about like When do you become something? Because for me, as a Clinton, it was a very conscious thing. I actually, and I don't know if I've ever told you this, but you've only ever known me as Clint, right? Yeah. It's because between leaving high school and leaving Rotorua

and starting broadcasting school in Christchurch, I actively rebranded. So when I left Rotorua, I said, I am not Clinton anymore. So were you always Clinton? Always Clinton. Everybody that when I left Rotorua, I said, I am not Clinton anymore. So were you always Clinton at school? Always Clinton. Everybody that knows me from Rotorua, I am Clinton. To my mum, I am Clinton.

To my teachers, I am Clinton. To my friends, I am Clinton. Everybody who knows me after that only knows me as Clint. And that was a thing that I did. I was like, when I go to Christchurch, I'm going to be cool. I'm leaving school behind. Nobody knows me down there. I can be who I want to Christchurch I'm going to be cool I'm leaving school behind nobody knows me down there I can be who I want to be

and I want to be Clint so from now on out Clint and it's from that episode of Friends remember they were talking to Chandler and they're like maybe I could be a Clint and Joey goes to him

no way you're cool enough to pull off Clint and you're like I'm definitely cool I've got an eyebrow piercing of course I'm cool enough to be called Clint well I you were like, I'm definitely cool. I've got an eyebrow piercing. Of course I'm cool enough to be called Clint. Well, I thought it was my birthright because I am Clinton. So I'm the one who's allowed to go Clint.

The issue with my plan, the one flaw in my plan, is I get to Christchurch. Well, I knew just before this, but anyway. When I went to broadcasting school, there ended up being one other person in our class, and you know him from my school, from Rotorua. And I ended up being one other person in our class and you know him yeah from my school from and i ended up living with him and he didn't say anything he didn't say anything didn't say anything and then about a month and it was just me and him sitting in the flat and he goes to me

so where'd this clint thing come from and i was like shut the hell up okay don't blow my cover don't you dare blow my cover. And he goes, it's all good. It's all good. You've got something on me too. I was like, I do. You used to be really fat. And I don't mean it in a mean way.

I mean that he did an image transformation too. He got ripped before he went to broadcasting school and he was like the hot guy. Girls were like, oh, the ladies man at school. Yeah, that guy. And he was like like we've both left our past behind bro so let's never speak yeah absolutely i was like deal absolute deal clint deal yeah so there you go clint and matty are actually clinton and matthew matthew yeah matt yeah clinton and matt someone might the director actually this morning it's so funny you bring this

up because this morning and everyone at work calls me Matty, always, since I started, which was like 15 years ago. But the director in my ear this morning just called me Matt randomly. And then he like corrected himself. He was like, God, sorry, Matt Matty. But it was so jarring to me to hear it. It was so weird. Yeah. And whenever I hear Clinton, I'm like, I'm in trouble.

Or this is like someone from my past. Yeah. Who's talking to me right now. And both of those things, like, not necessarily good. Yeah. It sends like a bit of a shock. What's going on? What's going on?

What's going on? Yeah. When did you guys, like Anastasia, when did you settle on Anastasia instead of Anastathenialis? Nah. Damn it, it didn't work. That's hard, though, because you've got quite a long name But there's not a There's not a natural shortening of it

When I played hockey It was Anna I've heard you use Anna on the phone before And I use Anna For everything from dominoes On the phone A dominoes order on the phone Just because you don't just want to

if you're trying to someone quickly you don't want to confuse that but do you mind being called anna no i don't mind it um but yeah most people call me stage these days which is pretty random like my parents again were like my friend called me that and they're like what the hell is that but yeah i don't really care. And Benjamin over there. Oh yeah, Benjamin. Yeah, no one calls me Benjamin. Benny? Do you want a Benny?

Thank you Well done 17 games to the trainers Walking away with it this year 13 to the ladies Listen up millennials How do I get their attention? I know

I know We got him? We got him We got him? We got him. We got him. Well done. Hook, line and sinker. That might even be a bit young, that song, for the millennials I want to speak to.

Because if you're at the older end of the millennial spectrum, please brace yourself because I'm about to use some words which may be a little bit painful to hear. Is that you or not? Well, I'll give you an age range and you tell me if you fall into it. If you are turning any of the ages between 36 and 41 this year, you are what is now described as a geriatric millennial. Oh, God.

Now, that's you, right? That is me. It's not me. I turned 35 this year. So I'm a young, fresh millennial. Oh God. Now that's you, right? That is me. It's not me. I turned 35 this year. So I'm a young, fresh millennial. Okay? I'm a youthful millennial. You're a geriatric millennial. There's no difference between

you and producer Anastasia right now. She's a Gen Z. Oh yeah, she is. But she's like my little sister. Totally. You on the other hand. Both youthful. You're a geriatric millennial. Okay? There is a list of geriatric millennial trends that are making a comeback. And I'm going to give them to you.

And I want you to remember that we have absolutely no control over their return, okay? These things are coming back whether you like it or not. Right. And you will say as an elder millennial- Don't do it. You'll say, don't do it. We did this.

It wasn't good. Don't do it. Nobody is going to listen to you. No. Okay? You think about you when you were 20. If someone in their 30s told you not to do something, would you have listened to them? I'd be like, uh, as if. Okay, pops. So these

are the things that are bonafide trends that are making a comeback right now. Low-rise jeans and miniskirts. Low-rise min mini skirts specifically. Jesus. Nicole Kidman is currently on the cover of a very, very big magazine wearing a low rise,

which means low cut, mini, mini skirt. Pleated mini skirt with a belt. Terrible. Shocking. Terrible. Like she looks great, but the trend itself,

like I can't think of any millennial who is excited about that trend coming back. I had so many friends that did the mini, mini skirts and then it was the mini, mini skirts over the jeans. Yeah. That's the next thing to come out. Totally. Big sunglasses are coming back.

Oh, again. Don't do it. We're talking those ones Maybe they were Dior Yeah Or they had a giant DG on the side of them Or a big C Dolce Gabbana

The Chloe sunglasses were big for a while The little Dior heart on the side With a lock inside it Seriously It's not worth it They're coming back You have no control over this They're coming back

Kids don't Ed Hardy t-shirts and Von Dutch truck caps Oh no They're coming They're coming back. You have no control over this. They're coming back. Kids, don't. Ed Hardy t-shirts and Von Dutch truck caps. Oh, no. They're coming. They're coming back. And those are only, like, gone for 10 years. Like, we only just finally took our last ones to the Salyami, but they're coming back.

And I told you this one was happening. We had an expert tell us it was wrong, but I've just read on a blog that skinny eyebrows are going to make a comeback. Overplucked thin eyebrows. The trend at the moment is big and bushy. Thin eyebrows from the 2000s are going to make a comeback.

To be fair, if we have to now look back at photos of ourselves looking that stupid, it's only fair that the younger generation goes through exactly the same thing. Absolutely, and maybe it'll make your Facebook memories trendy. Maybe you'll be able to share them not out of shame,

but out of like, see guys? Totally. I was cool once. I've been cool for it since ages ago. I've been cool since 2007. Okay. You and I were there the first time around. I thought we could talk about other things

that may make a comeback. These are geriatric millennial trends. Okay. Top of my list. We did mention it briefly the other day. Popped collar polo shirts. And especially layer upon layer of popped collar polo shirts. Hallenstein's, the Hallenstein's company,

its success today is built upon double popped collar polo shirts. Because you had to buy two. Totally. And so if you are one of these Gen Zers who is shopping at Helen Sines today, you are welcome. Because I am responsible for about half of the polo shirt purchases during that time period.

You were too. You had that pink one. Yeah, pink. I had green. I had yellow. I had them all. Ralph Lauren big pony. Distressed jeans, distressed denim with a studded belt.

So jeans that look like you've had bleach on your hands and then you've dragged your fingers sideways across the upper part of it. That's an elder millennial trend that I feel like has to come back. The studded and pairing it with a studded belt. Iconic as well. Yeah. So iconic.

I said those trashy MTV reality TV shows. Remember the show Next? No. That one person would go on a date with about five people. Oh, yes. And they'd introduce themselves like this. I'm Angie. I'm 19.

And I'm a pre-med student. So I really know my way around a naked body. I'm Justin. I'm 19. And I'm black and Italian, so I may be the first real Italian stallion. I'm Eddie, I'm 20 and I'm hot enough to get away with saying that I love Ryan Seacrest. And whenever they were filming them, the camera was going in and out and a little bit sideways, right? And then they'd get off the bus and the guy or the girl would just go, next! It was so good. I loved them.

Wallet chains. Wallet chains have to make a comeback. And the only other one I thought of was three-quarter pants. I love it. So get ready, everybody. That's your style forecast from an elder millennial. From a geriatric millennial. A geriatric millennial.

How dare you. And me, a fresh young millennial. How dare you. Only just a millennial, I'd say, at 35. Listen to your albums. I love Twitter and I love it for, one of the main reasons I love it is just for the inane chat that sometimes people have on there. Random thoughts.

Random thoughts. Twitter is just a big stream of consciousness. Totally. I mean, it's very political as well. Often. And it can be very woke. Yeah, totally. But it also can be very funny.

And so sometimes you find something that is so perfectly profound, even though it is so inane, that you just can't help but be captivated by it. And an Auckland man called Ryan Nixon posed a question over the weekend that him and his mates had been having in their group chat. Oh yeah, okay. And it's one of those questions that you just,

you can't Google. There's no answer to it. Yeah. So it's more of a, what do you think the answer could possibly be? So we put a poll up on Twitter about it. Okay. And it went crazy.

Yeah. 223,000 people up on Twitter about it and it went crazy. 223,000 people voted on the poll. Wow. It must have gone global. To get that much interaction, it must have gone global. 100%. And people are very impassioned about their answer to this question that he posed. So I wanted to pose it to

you because it's something I've never thought of before but now I can't stop thinking about what the answer is. Okay. You have to ask me this question. Okay. He said, my mates and I are having the stupidest debate and I am here for it. Do you think

there are more doors or wheels in the world? I saw a bunch of people asking this question on Instagram today and I had no idea where it came from. This is where it came from. Doors or wheels? And so I had a very visceral immediate reaction

and then you stop and think about the flip side and now I don't know what to think. Well, my gut says there's more wheels. Why I thought doors. Why doors? Because I thought all of your cupboard doors in your apartment, in your house, office blocks, apartment

buildings, the cars, all the cars have doors. My brain went to cars and I went, all cars have a minimum of four wheels, but not all cars have a minimum of four doors. No. That's what I thought. Totally. But there's not a car with eight doors. No, not no and there is a car with two doors yeah um but then you start thinking about wheels and you think well if you're thinking wheels you're thinking cars bikes

scooters trolleys trolleys yeah um buggies yeah um So many things have wheels. Yeah. Yeah. Conveyor belts. Totally. Yeah. Lego. Lego has wheels.

Lego has wheels, but then Lego has doors. So I almost wish I hadn't seen it because now it's just got me- Why is she stupid to question? Because there is no answer to it. There's no answer. There's no answer to it. But if you were to lock in an answer, what would you go for? My gut would have, if I was going to go uninfluenced, I would have said wheels.

Hearing your office buildings with doors, because I just think of like the Empire State Building and how many doors there must be in that one building. That building has no wheels. Yeah. And it's not just about the front doors. It's about every single door. Interior doors.

It's got me thinking how many doors are in my house. There's probably 20 doors just in my house. Yeah, but then how many wheels would be around your house? Toy cars? Exactly. Do they count? Yeah, buggies. I'm assuming your daughter has a couple of toys with some wheels.

Yeah. I'll say wheels. I want to, a couple of toys with some wheels. Yeah. I'll say wheels. I want to know what the, I'll say wheels. I want to know what the poll says. Can we get a response from the two of you as well? Doors or wheels? I went straight for the car thing again. And straight away, I'd just go wheels.

Wheels. Yeah. Because cars have got a spare wheel in them. Anastasia? I was wheels until you mentioned cupboards. Oh, shit. Now I'm back to cupboards. Every kitchen has what?

15? Like 30? I don't know. Well, yeah. I'm going doors. Okay. So we're split. Me and Anastasia doors.

You and Ben, producer Ben, wheels. Yeah. The wheels have won on the poll. Have they? 53.6% to 46.4%. Oh, that's pretty close. That's hardly a majority. I know.

Yeah. But it's not necessarily convincing win either way. No. Ben, can we get a wheels and doors expert on the show tomorrow, please? We need to get an answer to that. Brian Clint. Time for the latest. From iHeartRadio.

This is the latest live from LA with Dean McCarthy. Dean's here. Ed Sheeran, we know that he's in court at the moment defending his song Shape of You. How's the trial going, Dean? Oh, goodness. Not well. Let me tell you what happened today in court.

Okay, so basically they were playing audio of when Ed was actually discussing writing the song. So basically like it's audio kind of like from the session when they're all hanging out and chatting and things like that. And as they played the audio, they actually played part of a song that's unreleased. And it was obviously part of that day's session, you know, recording session.

Anyway, so Ed's like, what? How did that... What just happened? How did that just get played? That's an unreleased song. Yeah. And the lawyer was like, whoopsie, sorry, doll. Like, literally, like, played dumb.

Like, oh, I didn't even mean to. It won't happen again. Ed was so livid about this. He was so livid about this. And, of course, he's already very upset about the trial. So the part of the song that is on trial is that, oh, wow, oh, wow, oh, wow, oh, wow. You know that little bit?

The real catchy bit. And, you know, and apparently this group believe that it's, this is what they said. They believe that one of Ed's friends played him the song back in 2016 before he actually wrote the song. Ed, during the court, actually sung a couple of other songs. He said, look, this particular, you know, what do you call it? Melody? A hook? Yeah. Actually sounds a lot like a lot of other songs, he said, look, this particular, you know, I don't know what you call it, melody, sound,

actually sounds a lot like a lot of different songs if you play in the same key. He actually sung a part of No Jiggity. There's some part that sounds like it as well. So he's, you know, really defending his case. And if you've ever wondered this, if you've ever wondered, how come this group waited till now to sue? Well, what they do, they wait for the song to make as

much money as possible and then once it's made $50 million, $10 million, that's when they sue. That's why they wait five years to sue someone for a song that sounds kind of like their song. You don't sue early because they just won't release that song and then there's no money to be made. We've actually got a clip of the song in

question that's by an artist called Sammy Switch. This is who believes Ed Sheeran ripped him off. Maddie and I have talked about it at length. We don't hear it. Yeah. But someone must for it to be in court and to be going this far. There's got to be something to it.

But we took it to court ourselves and public opinion said not guilty. Yeah, we freed Ed Sheeran. Free the gin. Yeah, not guilty. Yeah, we free dead Sharon. Free the judge. Yeah, not guilty. Yeah, there you go. That is the latest live out of Los Angeles with our Hollywood correspondent, Dean McCarthy.

Free and Clint. Do you know what I love? I love on social media when you see people who have moved to New Zealand for the first time talking about some of the things that they find interesting. Totally. You know, some of the weird quirks that we have, the things we say. Maybe it's the way the supermarkets are laid out.

It's the culture shock. Yeah. There's a Kiwi you don't think of. You go, that's normal. Exactly. But if you're not from here, that might be really weird to them. It's our everyday lives,

which is much the same as when we go overseas and we notice things that they do. We think, oh, that's weird. Totally. Interesting. What keeps the world interesting? That's the same as when we go overseas and we notice things that they do. We think, oh, that's weird. Totally. Interesting. What keeps the world interesting? That's the spice of life. But one American expat has sparked quite a bit of fury online

over the way that she has constructed something that we eat all the time here in New Zealand. Okay. She's gone to Bunnings and she has gotten one of the classic fundraiser sausage sizzle sausages. Classic. Classic.

A Bunnings snack. Exactly. She's posted about it onto TikTok because she said, I've been told that I've got to go and try this thing. But it's the way

that she's gone about constructing the sausage that's got everyone talking. Have a look at this. Alright, you guys have been telling me to get a sausage sizzle for the past few years, so this is my first sausage sizzle. Honestly, the Costco hot dog

is so much better than this, but whatever, I gave it a try. And the proceeds go to charity, so it's for a good cause. So she's put sauce she's put sauce on the bottom

then she's put the sausage then she's put the onion then she's put sauce on the second piece of bread and slapped the two pieces of bread together to make like a sandwich plus also the onions

are only on one side of the sandwich exactly it's like sacrilege that's not how you do it also there's no butter on the bread. No.

It's dry bread. It's dry. It's two bits of dry bread with a sausage stuck between it. No wonder you didn't like it. Look, I blame either the primary school rugby team or the Rotary Club. Whoever was running the sausages. Whoever was running the sausages

or someone needed to be monitoring this situation more closely. or the Rotary Club. Whoever was running the sausage sizzle. Whoever was running the sausage sizzle. Someone needed to be monitoring this situation more closely. Whichever rowing team was trying to get to Marty this year, the Marty Cup, you have a patriotic duty to make sure that anyone from overseas gets served a sausage sizzle the way God intended. You have some explaining to do. Also, how much are they these days? Are they like $2.50?

They're probably inflation. Everything's going, I reckon sausage sizzles will be five bucks. Before we know it. Hot take, Bunnings sausage sizzles. I know. Not that good. Yeah. They're actually doing a disservice to sausage sizzles.

Where do you go? The warehouse. Well, from my memory, the warehouse ones are very good. Yeah, they are good. But I haven't found a good one recently. So if you know where the good sausage sizzles are at, text us. Please. 966.

I'm bloody hungry now. Me and Matty are in the market for some sausage. Bree and Clint. I have, well, my partner Ryan engaged, proposed to me. Engaged me. Engaged me. He crouched, touched, paused, engaged me. Engage!

That's how two guys... If both the guys are gay and they play rugby, that's how they propose to each other. In a scrum. Engage! He doesn't get down on one knee, they get down in scrum position and the other guy goes,

bro, are you about to do what I think you're about to do? Oh my God, I've waited this for ages. Engage! Bind! For life. Anyway. My partner Ryan proposed to me

and he gave me an engagement ring which I'm still bloody getting used to. It takes ages, man. I, when I got my wedding ring, like,

you just You're not used to having As a person who doesn't wear jewellery You're like me Yeah It just Having It feels so foreign

Totally Yeah and you're always playing with it Always touching it Do you find you take it on and off a lot? On and off all the time Yeah It's so dangerous I'm a fiddler

So I spin it a lot But also yeah I take it off way too much Because I lose shit all the time Did your partner get your ring size right off the bat? Or have you had to have it resized? I had to have it resized. But it's been resized?

Yeah. Because that's the other risk is it's slightly too big. That's why I can't wear mine. No, this is perfect. Because I lost my finger weight. This is perfect. Skinny in the fingers. Yeah, I got...

I went down a finger size. We joke, but I down a finger size. We joke, but I actually did. Okay. Nowhere else, just the fingers? Just the fingers. Yeah, yeah.

And the neck, thankfully. Anyway, because I've got this ring on and I'm still getting used to it, I keep looking at it. And also, I keep showing people it.

But it's made me notice, more than I've ever noticed them before, my fingernails. Oh, okay. Yeah, I get that as well. I notice my hands more and more, not so much my nails, but just sort of like the hairiness and scaliness of my hands. Because you've got something that draws your eye to them

when you've got a ring on it. Totally. And I am so like haphazard when I'm cutting my nails. I'm just like, clip, clip, clip, clip, clip. Do you bite your nails? No, I don't bite them, but I don't put any thought or effort into clipping them. No, me neither. So they look terrible. There's jagged lines.

Do you pay any attention to your cuticles? No, never. Neither. And then I was thinking, well, should I get them taken care of? There's an idea Well should I like get them Taken care of There's an idea Like should I go get myself a Manicure

I'm so glad you suggested this Because I've been waiting for a friend who wanted to go and get a mani-pedi Do you want to get a manicure I want to get a mani-pedi so bad I don't know why I think it's because I saw DJ Khaled get one One time and I was like man that looks So luxurious I just want to Experience it I don't know why. I think it's because I saw DJ Khaled get one one time and I was like, man, that looks so luxurious. I just want to experience it.

Same. Yeah. Especially the foot department. Yes. Because those things are not in good condition. And mine are terrible. They're full Frodo Baggins. Totally.

So I want to do it, but also I'm reluctant to do it because I feel bad for imposing these feet on someone. I just want to check with Ben. Ben, if we did this as content for the radio show, is that like tax deductible? Would the company pay for us to go and get a mani-pedi? Yeah, they have to. They have to, right?

That's a great idea. So you and I all go, should we go and do this then? I reckon, yeah. I'd love to hear from another. I know that there will be men out there who do this. So I'd love to hear from a guy who gets a mani-pedi. Or a girl who's so passionate about them,

it's like, guys, you have to go and get one. I can't believe you haven't experienced this before. Yeah, what's your feedback on the mani-pedi for us? Just text us in some thoughts. And what colour should I go for? Oh, do we actually get them painted? Well, I might get them painted. You don't have to, but I might get mine done.

I think that's actually pretty cool at the moment yeah really get guys with nail polishes pretty in at the moment right Anastasia Harry Styles Harry Styles has got them done Harry Pete Davidson

yep has he got them yeah oh he looks so good at them alright well I'm up for some nail polish as well okay should we line this up

let's line it up okay what's the best nail bar in Auckland City everybody because if we're going to do this I want to do this okay so we've got a lot of questions to ask. Are you a guy that's had them done?

Are you a girl that loves getting them done? And where should we get them done? And where should we get them done, yeah. And anything we need to be aware of. Give us a call on 800-ZM or text us to 9696. I have myself a brand new engagement ring and it's really made me notice my hands a lot more and in particular my nails.

So I mentioned to you that my nails are terrible and so maybe I need to get something done about them. Maybe I need to go and get myself a manicure. I've never had one done before. I said if you're going,

I'm going too. So we've got to do this thing together. I'm so down for a mani-pedi. You and I are going to go and have a mani-pedi date. Is that what a spa day is? Totally. I'm keen for a spa day.

So we've asked for some advice, like, are you a dude who gets your nails done? Yep. And is it awesome? Yep. And are you, like, in the industry? And do you deal with many guys? Are there many guys who come in for the old mani-pedi?

Alex has called up. You're a beauty therapist, right, Alex? Yes, I am. What's the market for men's mani-pedis like at the moment? It's definitely not as popular as it should be, I think. Yeah. Okay, so give us your impassioned pitch. Why should we get it done?

Well, it's just healthy for you. I think it should be part of your healthy grooming routine. It helps keep all of your skin and your nails healthy. And it just means when you, like, get older, you don't have the wrinkly, horrible-looking hands. Right. Do you feel, you know when you go in and get, like, a massage or something, do you feel good

after having your nails done? Oh, absolutely. Do you? You start, like, I think you may have seen, especially girls do it, when we've just had our nails done, like a fresh set, we start talking with our hands a lot more. Okay and Alex and so Alex

like because this is our first time we've never had it done I've never been into a nail salon before what do we ask for? What do we say? You can literally just rock up and ask for a mini pedi and you don't have to get polish

or anything a lot of the times they'll still maybe seal it with a clear coat it'll make your nails look really shiny and you just feel like to get polish or anything. A lot of the times they'll still maybe seal it with a clear coat and it'll make your nails look really shiny and you just feel like you're shining bright like a diamond. We got a text in from someone that said we should steer clear of

gel nails. Is that true? Not necessarily. A lot of people think that it does damage your nails but it's because you kind of do them too often and there is nail care you can do to protect your nails but I think for most guys, if you're just wanting to, you know, keep your nails nice and healthy, just

a classic manicure and pedicure. Okay. And you got your boyfriend into it? Yeah, we've been together for four years. He resisted for a really long time, but now it's become like a regular thing. The last Sunday of every month, we get together and I'll do both of our manis and pedis and everything. That's so cool.

He doesn't get any colour, but he likes it. He loves that his toes are shiny. Okay, Alex, that's brilliant. Thank you. Jay, you're a man who gets a mani pedi. Yeah, definitely. Honestly, I highly recommend. It's perfect.

What's perfect about it? What do you love about it? It's like the one I used to go to in Whanganui, they had massage chairs. They used to massage your feet and your hands. And yeah, it's just full relaxation. Only a little bit of a downside for me is I have really ticklish feet. I didn't really think about that.

First few times it took a little bit of getting used to But after a while I was like, yeah, nah, keep going It's your erogenous zone You're like, ooh, ooh, ooh Do you get a colour? Do you get a colour on them? Not on my toenails, but on my hands I did I got a full acrylic set

I love it Brilliant Matty just brought up a picture of some COVID-19 themed nails You can get one With the virus on them And the other hand You can get face masks On your fingernails

Finally Amy's here as well Hi Amy Hiya What's your thoughts On the man Manny Petty It's a must do Yeah

My dad Absolutely loves him To the point where He encourages me And my whole family To go and get them done With him I love it.

That's cool. How old's your dad? My dad's 57. Yeah. That's great. How did he get into it? Did he just realise it was time for some self-care? Yeah, he, like, because he just really hates doing his feet.

He's like, how long do I get someone else to do it? Yeah. He's outsourced the job. Exactly. Okay, Amy, that's great. Thank you. Well, I reckon we're doing this, mate. Someone texted and said,

go on, put the man in Mani Peti. I love that. Okay, book the salon. We're in. We're in. How long does it take? How long do we need to book out? Half an hour?

I've got no idea. We'll find that out. We're going to do some research. Kia ora. I'm Simon Bound, and I host Business is Boring, a podcast that reckons it's anything but. Join me each week as I chat with some of the most interesting and inspirational players in the Aotearoa business scene

I saw a story pop up online today that I found so fascinating to read. It was mostly the headline that got me to be honest. It says,

Grandmother disqualified after admitting to boy racer charge. Nan. Yeah, Nan, what are you doing? What are you doing? Is this overseas? No, it was here in New Zealand. Right. In Southland.

Tanya Black appeared in the Invercargill District Court for sentencing yesterday over boy racer charges. But it was what the judge said to her that kind of tickled my fancy. It was very much like a, I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. Right, okay. Dad speech.

Yeah. He said to her, Tanya, I thought you might have grown out of this. Come on, love. Come on, Nan. You're meant to be a pillar of the community here. And here you are. Yeah. Doing burnouts, doing skiddies.

I kind of find it a bit awesome. Go, Nan. In a way. So long as no one got hurt. Totally. The fact that Nan's dropping the clutch and, you know, smoking some tyres. On the Toyota Camry.

I find it a bit cool. You think Toyota Camry or one of those Toyota Aqua cars? What is she doing a burnout in? Does it say? It doesn't say what kind of car. Is she called Naltesa? And now I wish I knew because I feel like that's an important detail for us. Has Nan doing a burnout in? Does it say? It doesn't say what kind of car it is. And now I wish I knew

because I feel like that's an important detail for us to know. Has Nan got a Supra? Nan got a Nissan Silvia? Is she drifting? You know, I'd love to know. It's souped up, whatever it is, surely. And does she pick the grandkids up in it? Like, does it have, what's the deal? Does it go to New World to get the groceries?

I really want to know. Some people just don't grow out of things, right? And I think it can be good and bad. Like, it's fun to stay young. Absolutely. Sometimes you're like, oh, grow up. But if you're not hurting anybody... Yeah, I mean, going to Cordova, it was maybe a reason to second-guess

it. Like, should I be still doing this? But also, keep rocking, man. Have you got anything in your life at the moment where, really, you should have given it up years ago, but you just haven't grown out of it yet? You're still holding on to the past? I mean, I watch Pixar and Disney movies pretty regularly. Yeah?

Yeah. Have you still got your rollerblades? No, the rollerblades are gone, but I did hold on to them for a very long time. I was telling you earlier. I used to rollerblade to broadcasting school. I would never make fun of you for rollerblading because the pictures of me rollerblading

that could be unearthed would just be stones and glass houses. Mum and dad cleaned out the house recently and mum found all my rollerblades and she goes, do you want these? And part of me was like, I think I do. Yeah, you were like, maybe. Maybe.

Hooning down to the dairy. Oh, no, I was a do. Yeah, you were like, maybe. Maybe. Hooning down to the dairy. Oh, no, I was a skate park rollerblader. Oh, right. Yeah, which makes it so much cooler. Yeah. We should take some calls on this. I'd love to. This afternoon on things that people haven't grown out of.

Yeah. And it might not be you. It might be your partner because you might be like, I wish he would grow up. I wish he would get rid of his, I don't know, Dragon Ball Z posters. I wish he would get rid of his, I don't know, Dragon Ball Z posters. Or I wish he would get rid of, I don't know, her My Little Pony set.

Even though you're fully grown adults and there's a My Little Pony display case in the lounge. Are you still sleeping in bed with the soft toy that you had when you were five? What, as an adult? Yeah. They would. People would.

Maddie and I had just consumed a teaspoon each of the world's hottest chilli sauce. It didn't go well. No. I didn't think it was going to go well, but it went worse than I expected. I would agree. And it's been a rough, I would say, 16 hours. Absolutely.

Totally. If you missed it, here are the highlights of what happened Are you okay? I'm good Oh god Okay milk break Oh god Oh god I'm sweating

We're going to take a break Ow that hurts so bad. Oh! It hurts. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! It was a roller coaster and it lasted such a long time. But at one point I got a phone call while we were in an ad break and I thought, I think I'm okay to answer this. I answered, I was not okay to answer it. It turns out it was our new CEO, TVNZ, and I'm trying to maintain a level of professionalism talking to him and you're just in the background going,

F, F, yeah. I received a DM directly after the show, and I have to read this out. It said, I had to let you know that the segment of you and Maddie having the hot sauce and singing karaoke made me literally piss myself. And because I don't bring spare undies to work,

I had to leave work early. So thank you for that. Which is funny, because both Maddie and I nearly pooed ourselves in the last 24 early. So thank you for that. Which is funny because both Matty and I nearly pooed ourselves in the last 24 hours. Before we get into that, we need to talk to the man who was responsible for the sauce. Please welcome to the show, Cully

from iconic New Zealand sauce brand, Cully's. Hi, Cully. Hey, guys. Thanks very much for having me. I'm very surprised you actually want to talk about your experience. I was going to say thanks for coming on, but I don't know that I want to say thanks for coming on, Cully. I know, right? The source in question is the new Cully's No. 8.

It features the Carolina Reaper chilli, and what's the other one in there? Trinidad Maruga scorpion. Yeah, I mean, that was the first dead giveaway, and to be fair, that's on us. Like, we should have known, right? Yeah, well, when you mix the world's two hottest chillies, it's sort of a bit of a giveaway,

and then, you know, blending it with a chilli extract. I've got to ask you this question. What's wrong with you? Like, who hurt you that you think it's acceptable to make a sauce that's this painful to enter your body? Well, that's what happens in COVID lockdowns, right? You get really creative and go, why did I make the world's hottest chilli sauce?

Did you have COVID when you made this sauce and you lost your taste buds? Yeah, you lost your taste buds, yeah. Maybe it's a COVID cure, I don't know. Who's the, this is the thing that I was wondering, who is the audience? Yeah. Who is eating this hot sauce?

You would be really surprised. That top end of town, that triple X hot chilli sauces, is a huge audience and really it's growing. I mean, we scratch our head as well. You know, it's a limited edition run that we've done, but, you know, we'll sell out because people just like the pain and the challenge and doing it with mates. Yeah.

I get that. And I actually have friends who have already hit me up saying, bro, I need to try that sauce. I'm like, didn't you hear us? We nearly died. Our throats closed over, Cully. When I was listening and you were like doing a teaspoon, I'm like, man, like a quarter of a teaspoon.

It's killer. So yeah, you're definitely doing a full teaspoon. You reckon a quarter of a teaspoon is too much?. So yeah, you're definitely keen on doing a full teaspoon. You reckon a quarter of a teaspoon is too much? Oh, absolutely. It's that brutal. I mean, it's a real, it's a real,

this is the hottest I've ever made and I've been doing it for years. Do you like it? Like, do you eat it? I do, yeah. I mean, probably not, not a teaspoon like you. You know, everything

in moderation, right? You know, if you put it in your nachos or tacos or bolognese, you know, to give it a bit of background heat. Yeah, they're definitely usable, but they're also a lot of fun if you do it straight up, right? Yeah, well, hey, thank you for a fun 24 hours, Cully. We appreciate it.

It's been a wild ride. A real wild ride. I have to... Toilet paper in the freezer next time. Now we know. You say that. I have to share this because I went to an early morning gym session this morning. I had to skip my gym class yesterday evening

because I didn't feel safe to pick up a heavy weight. I thought, no, the back end is not under control. I went this morning. I was like, sweet. Got up at 5.30. I'll be sweet. Got in there. I spent the first 20 minutes in the bathroom,

not sure whether I was going to be able to go to the class. It was brutal. Well, I was on air. I was mid-breakfast show. And I went, I got to go. I got to go. And I ran to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet.

And I thought it hurt. Going in. It hurts going out as well, let me tell you that. You know that ad, you might not know this, it's very niche, but that ad for Imodium

where the person's stomach is just turning around and it's on fire and it's turning around and around in circles? That's what was happening to my body at 6am this morning. In real time,

I could track it moving through my system. Well, I'm glad I wasn't alone with my toilet emergency this morning. You would. I just happened to be on live national television when mine happened. Lucky you weren't wearing a white suit. I reckon we can do this. I reckon we're mature enough to do this on the show this afternoon. Take people's stories

about toilet emergencies. Yes. Maybe it was to do with spicy food. Maybe it was to do with international travel. Yep. Maybe it was to do with you know, your partner's cooking. Which maybe didn't quite reach the Campylobacter standards that it should have.

I don't know. If you want to share your toilet emergency story with us this afternoon, safe space, 0800 dial ZM, or you can text it into 9696. Make Maddie and I feel better, please, about the morning that we've had.

God, it was rough. It was rough. Toilet emergencies, get them in. Free in Clint. Yesterday, Maddie and I ate the world's hottest chilli sauce, and it has wreaked havoc on our internal organs for the last 24 hours. I reckon I'm just coming right now. I'm much the same.

I thought I was done with it last night and then got up this morning. Yeah. It was a whole nother wave. It hit early. Yeah. Something about taking it raw straight to the gut, I think that the body's not ready for. We just talked to the guy who makes the sauce from Kelly.

He's like, you've got to mix it in food, bro. Yeah, I was so confident. I was so confident. I didn't even second guess it when you handed me the teaspoon yesterday. Because you were keen, I was keen. Yeah. It's just that... I was like, oh, it'll be hot.

Like, I'm not going to, you know. I was like, I'll feel it. Yeah, yeah. But fine I got the hiccups My throat closed over I got pins and needles Up and down my arm

Chills I got cold chills And then going To the bathroom This morning Was a whole Another experience You and I both

Experienced what we're calling A toilet emergency Yes So we need to make Ourselves feel better And know that we're Not the only ones We've asked you to share With us this afternoon your toilet emergencies. Your emergency

defecation situation. Kate's here. Hi, Kate. Hello. Hello. You okay? Yeah, I'm good. How are you? Yeah, we're fine now. Only just recovering though. So make us feel better. Hi. So it's kind of a funny story. My partner gave me a stomach virus. Right. And so I was in bed

and yeah, horrible stomach virus. And as I got up to go to the bathroom, I couldn't quite make it. And yeah, my downstairs exploded everywhere. On the carpet in your bedroom? Yeah, on the carpet in my bedroom.

Did you make him clean it up? I actually made my mum clean it up. Oh, okay. Never too old for mum to sort that out, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Well, glad you survived that one, Kate. Thank you.

Jaden's here. Hi, Jaden. Hey, guys. How you doing? You've got a wedding-related bathroom emergency. This doesn't sound good. I'm thinking white wedding dresses. Yeah, no, not quite.

So it was my wedding, and my youngest sister, who was about 18 at the time, was one of our bridesmaids. Yeah. The family had been feeling a bit under the weather leading up to the wedding, but my sister decided to soldier on. She was fine for the photos, everything leading up to it. Then she was standing up there in front of literally everyone we've ever met. And yeah, we got to the vows and she had to go real quick.

Did she leave? Did she just go, I have to get out of here? Yeah, she had to. She was like, I was about to say I do. And she was like, I can't. And she just go, I have to get out of here? Yeah, she had to. She just kind of was like, I was about to say I do, and she was like, I can't, and she just ran. I can't. At least it wasn't a runaway bride. You know, you prefer runaway bridesmaid over a runaway bride. Oh, definitely, yeah, yeah. And if it was the bride running away, as she ran back up the aisle,

she'd have to go, I still love you, I'm going to marry you, I'm just going to prove myself. Yeah, I think at that point you'd probably like to look elsewhere. Oh! Brutal. Thanks, Jaden. Finally, Ellie's here. Hi, Ellie. Hi. Alright, do you want to share

your toilet emergency with us this afternoon? Yeah, I was walking the dog and I realised I needed to do a poo, so I ran home and I rolled my ankle. I made it to the toilet, but I stood up and I'd broken my foot. Oh, my God. No. Oh, my God.

But at least you didn't shit yourself on the side of the road. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. That was the biggest fear. And I made it all the way to the toilet was the best part. As far as these toilet emergencies that we've been getting this afternoon, yours is fairly self-contained. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. I'm pretty proud of myself. Yeah, yeah. Everything is where it needs yours is fairly self-contained. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of myself. Yeah, yeah, everything is where it needs to be, except for your bone. Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah. Well, there you go, everybody.

Let's find out the number one song on your 16th birthday. And let's play the best one out in full and reminisce. We'll start with Taylor. Kia ora, Taylor.

Hey, how's it going? Good, how are you? Good, thank you. Ever got a mani-pedi before, Taylor? No, I can't say I have, sorry. You'd be up for it, though, wouldn't you? If someone offered you to get your nose. Oh, yeah.

What's your birthday, Taylor? Let's do your birthday banger. It's 13th of December, 1989. All right, Taylor, you were 16 on the 13th of December 2005, and this was the number one song. My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump. How good, Taylor? So good.

Love it, love it. A lot of Fergie action on Birthday Banger recently. Not opposed to it. Yeah, I heard it yesterday. Yeah, not opposed to it. We played London Bridge by Fergie. This is the whole, this is all the Ps, though. Yeah. And my humps. You're about this song. You think it should win, Taylor? opposed to it. We played London Bridge by Fergie. This is the whole, this is all the Ps though. Yep.

Hi Alex. Hi, how you guys doing? Good, how are you doing? Yeah, good thanks. Awesome. When's your birthday Alex?

The 14th of March 1990. Okay, you were 16 on the 14th of March, 2006, and this was topping the charts. Vintage Beyonce. Yeah. Really early solo Beyonce. From a B-Day album, I think? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Do you like it? Alex, are you a Beyonce fan? Yeah, I'm a Beyonce fan. I'm happy for that. Yeah, it's a good one. Okay, you got a good birthday banger. We'll do one more for Katie.

Wow. So this song is almost 10 years old. Crazy. Do you like it, Katie? Has it got good memories for you? Yes and no. I don't think it's going to win, though. I definitely prefer the Beyonce over mine, but that's okay.

Okay, good to be able to say that. We appreciate that. We'll take that into account as well as we vote for Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce or Macklemore this afternoon. Oh. I think the one that stands out this afternoon is the Beyonce.

Yeah, I was going to go Beyonce. I was tossing up between that and Thrift Shop. But I think I'll stick with Beyonce. 2006. Classic Beyonce. Alex, congratulations. You've just won birthday banger Enjoy this You're 16 all over again

Brian Clint with Maddie ZM Brian Clint Right now though And I can't believe I'm saying this But this is the world we live in People are getting Russian President Vladimir Putin and the French-Canadian dish of chips with gravy and cheese, poutine, confused. Putin, poutine. Two very different things.

Yeah, I get the similarity. But in an age of boycott Russia. That's what we're in. And cancel culture. And cancel culture. And cancel culture. People are taking it out on restaurants and restaurateurs going, how dare you support that man? They're like, bro, we're not.

The French restaurant Maison de la Poutine, they have locations in Gay Paris. They also have a restaurant in Toulouse. And they said this weekend it was subject to insulting calls and even threats by people apparently confusing the name of its signature dish, sometimes called the National Dish of Canada, Putin. Yeah, absolutely. With the name of the Russian leader. So Vladimir Putin, an evil, evil man. Yes. Poutine.

Poutine. Chips. Gravy. Cheese curd. Cheese curd. Yeah. I thought you'reoutine. Chips. Gravy. Cheese curd. Cheese curd. I thought you're right. Those are the key differences but maybe we really need to spell this out for people this afternoon. Yeah. Just so we're

clear. Yeah. Because no one needs to stop serving poutine in this situation. Both can exist in isolation. They're not related. So simplest form, poutine, yum,

poutine, yuck. Yep. Okay, got that? Great. That makes sense. Got it. How far into this can we go?

Poutine, full of gravy and cheese. Poutine, full of himself. Got it? Got it. Got it. Okay.

Poutine, great on a hangover. Putin, probably the last person I would want to see drunk, sober, or hungover. Nailed it. No one who's hungover has gone, man, I could really do with some Vladimir Putin right now. It doesn't work. What do I ask if it works? Poutine, saucy saucy hot and delicious um putin a russian dictator hellbent on nuclear warfare and plunging the world into turmoil however if you covered him in gravy i think it

might even improve the situation a little bit okay i've got one yeah okay uh putin stuff in your mouth yes putin shut your mouth. Perfect. There you go. I'm getting the hang of this. You've got it. That's perfect. So everybody, enjoy your poutine in peace, okay?

There was an online catastrophe this morning because Spotify was down. I saw. How terrible. And not just down, But there was a weird thing Where people were getting messages Saying you need to reset your password It looked very scamish Very scamish

Someone who suffered that quite seriously This morning was our producer Anastasia Anastasia are you okay? Yeah now I am You said you had a very very stressful morning Because of this. Yeah. Well, I don't think I've ever told you guys this,

but I have my boom or ear pods on listening to music like 24-7. Yeah. Like it's just nonstop just playing music and playlists. And, of course, ZM on our hat radio. I was going to say. Which I definitely neglected this morning. The Fletchbourne and Hayley show Wasn't down You know

You didn't have to Relog into that one But I get it If it's part of your routine And if you listen to it On the way to work You might have been like What the hell is going on

We stand with you Yeah In solidarity I had to fire up YouTube Oh my god YouTube and Safari Like it was the 2010s Yeah

Yeah And that doesn't give you A good playlist It just pays you The same artist When this happened This morning Oh my gosh. YouTube and Safari. Like it was the 2010s? Yeah. And that doesn't give you a good playlist. It just pays you the same artist. When this happened this morning, all jokes aside, I was like, this is my time to shine. Yeah. As a man who has hundreds, if not thousands of dollars of useless MP3s inside my computer that I purchased from iTunes

because they said this is how you're going to have to listen to your music from now and forever. I was like, I'm sweet as. If I can't stream music anymore, I've got so much music ready to go. Totally. I was going back through my iTunes history. History.

Because iTunes was such a key part of our music listening ability. Yeah. And so I was listening to some of the artists that I had downloaded on iTunes. Right, perfect. Because I haven't used it in such a long time. Shall I go through a couple of them with you? Go on. We have Anastasia.

I'm out of love. I'm out of love. Did you purchase the Anastasia song? I did. That's good. I'm out of Love. I'm Outta Love. Did you purchase the Anastasia song? I did. That's good. Benny Tipony? What happened to Benny? I was talking to my wife about this the other day.

Where is Benny Tipony? Where's Benny? He was fantastic. What was the Benny Tipony song that you have? Was it Make You Mine? This was his X Factor song no it was Walking on Water

oh great Benny Teebany song another good song yeah who else do I have who else do I have I have the entire Chicago musical soundtrack

oh okay well I don't have that one ready to go sorry I was also thinking when this happened that this is my time to shine because i'm still sitting on four boxes of cds oh my god in my sleep out i can't bring myself to part with them um like surely these are going to see a resurgence surely one day it's going to be cool kind of like how it's cool to have records it'll be cool to have cds

hasn't happened yet haven't unboxed them for about 10 years i also don't have a cd player anymore and that's the hardest thing is where do you actually play them no even my car doesn't have a cd player none do no um who would you have in there what kind of cds would you have oh i've got all the hits bro lincoln park um metallica um uh the bloodhound gang everything you need. Spotify is down? Don't worry, I got it. Great.
