Chapter 1: What is the concept behind the Neighbourly Haystack game?

0.031 - 24.03 Unknown

You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brian Clint, the podcast. On Tuesdays, we go looking for a... Neighbourly Haystack! Ooh, that's one of our best ones, yeah. It was good, it was strong. Is it an omen? And does it mean that because that was good and successful, today Neighbourly Haystack will be good and successful?

24.01 - 26.756 Bree

I think that's the only thing it can mean.

0

26.776 - 36.517 Unknown

$3,350 cash up for grabs if someone with a random name chosen by one of our producers answers the phone at a random business chosen by one of our other producers.

0

36.778 - 40.686 Bree

If that person with that name answers, they win the money. Crazy.

40.987 - 41.428 Unknown

Claudia.

41.908 - 42.189 Bree

Yes.

42.369 - 43.33 Unknown

Are you feeling lucky?

43.791 - 44.872 Bree

Yeah, I am.

44.972 - 45.573 Unknown

I didn't believe you.

Chapter 2: How much money is at stake in the Neighbourly Haystack game?

60.672 - 64.536 Clint

And I'm feeling... Oh, here we go. No, this is good. Okay. Miles.

65.894 - 69.981 Clint

Oh, okay. That's okay. Oh. I could do boring.

0

70.141 - 73.146 Unknown

I know one Miles, and he is a chocolate lab.

0

73.166 - 76.792 Bree

I know one, and he's in Hollywood.

76.832 - 83.023 Unknown

His last name's Teller. All right, Miles. Where does Miles work? I'm not feeling confident.

84.385 - 84.846 Clint

Does he work at the AA?

Chapter 3: What strategies do the hosts use to engage callers?

84.866 - 85.387 Clint

Yeah. No, I think.

0

85.407 - 87.21 Unknown

Does he work at VTNZ?

0

87.562 - 97.269 Clint

Oh, it's because of cars. That's funny. Very funny. No, I think because the radio awards are this week and we're probably not going to win, so I want to call a trophy shop so we can order our own trophy.

0

97.289 - 98.432 Bree

I like that idea.

0

98.452 - 100.017 Clint

So we're calling Apex Trophies.

100.077 - 101.942 Unknown

Miles might work at a trophy store.

102.648 - 103.409 Bree

Yeah, it could do.

103.489 - 109.797 Unknown

I mean, if the one Miles in New Zealand. He started the trophy store in 1982. He's still there.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts choose names for the game?

109.817 - 111.399 Unknown

Business isn't good, but he's still there.

0

111.579 - 117.066 Bree

The only Miles in New Zealand. Can we find him at Apex Trophies? Sorry.

0

118.027 - 118.347 Unknown

Claudia.

0

119.248 - 120.17 Bree

I thought that was good.

0

120.69 - 135.086 Unknown

You were so confident too. I was. Apex Trophies. We're looking for Miles. Good luck, everybody. Hi, Apex Trophies. How can I help? Hi there. What was your name? Hope. Hope. Yes. Hi, Hope. It's Bree and Clint calling from ZM radio station. Hi, Hope.

137.008 - 137.729 Clint

How are you? Hi, hello.

137.929 - 138.57 Unknown

Are you good today?

Chapter 5: What happens when a caller answers the phone?

138.63 - 139.211 Unknown

How are you going?

0

142.394 - 142.835 Clint

Just a bit busy.

0

142.855 - 152.865 Unknown

How can I help? Okay, no, sorry. I'll get to the point. Is Miles there? Is your order? Is Miles there? Does anyone work there called Miles? No.

160.613 - 161.815 Unknown

God damn it.

0

161.835 - 174.012 Bree

There was no hope there, Ella, when you threw up the name. No, there was hope. There was hope, but you know what I mean. There was no hope that Miles was going to work there. No, that was hopeless. Yeah, that was hopeless. But hope. Hope was there.

0

174.052 - 177.437 Unknown

Hope was there. You know when you just feel bad about talking to some people?

177.597 - 178.098 Bree

Yeah, she was busy.

178.118 - 179.86 Unknown

She was obviously real busy.

180.14 - 180.741 Bree

She's too busy.

180.761 - 183.465 Unknown

Which is crazy, because you work in a trophy shop.

Chapter 7: How do the hosts react to the outcome of the call?

185.647 - 189.153 Bree

Do you reckon trophy shops have like busy seasons?

0

189.173 - 190.935 Unknown

Oh, they'll be getting pretty for the radio awards.

0

190.955 - 194.32 Clint

Yeah, literally. She's engraving our trophy. Wait, call her back.

0

194.34 - 202.252 Unknown

That's why it was so awkward. She was like, that's crazy. I'm literally writing your name on a third place trophy right now. We should call her back and ask her.

0

202.272 - 219.079 Bree

You got any trophies there? I just need to clarify my spelling. It is E-L-L-A. That's not a bad idea. We should find out the place that does the plaques for the radio awards because they would have already had them done. And we can know beforehand that we're going to lose for eight years in a row.

219.099 - 221.202 Unknown

I think they just print the certificates on their office inkjet.

222.064 - 224.629 Clint

Isn't Jeremy Corbett hosting Radio Awards?

224.729 - 229.919 Unknown

Oh, we should call him.

230.219 - 234.006 Bree

Yeah, let's ambush him.
