Episode Date: January 3, 2023

The ZM Podcast Network. Brian Clint. The best bits. ZM, Brian Clint, that's Zach Bryan. I want to know what the orange is. What's the orange? The song's called Something in the Orange. What's the orange?

Is it like that orange wine? Or is it pith? Pith. Isn't that what's inside oranges? Pith. What's pith? Pith. Pith.

Isn't pith the thing that's inside? Wait, what's pith? Are you saying piss? Now that I'm saying it out loud it sounds stupid, but no, isn Isn't pith the thing that's inside Wait what Pith Are you saying piss Now that I'm saying it out loud It sounds stupid But no isn't it pith It's pith Pith

Pith Is it I've never heard of pith Someone please text it And tell me I'm not going crazy Can someone tell me what pith is Isn't pith The stuff that holds the juice

Inside the oranges Like pulp But it's I thought it was just pulp No that's what comes When you mash the pith Is pith The white stuff

I've never Wait I've got to google it Google it How do you spell pith P-I-T-H Of course How did I not know Orange pith

Yeah Sounds like you're saying pip. No, yeah, I know. The pith. Pith. Of oranges and other citrus fruits is the stringy, spongy, white stuff. I hate that part. I was kind of right.

I hate pith. Yeah. So anyway, is that what- I thought you were saying- Is that what Zach Bryan's singing about? I honestly thought you were saying pith. The song's called Something in the Orange, okay? That's why we were talking about it.

Yes. It's because you haven't drunk enough water, Zach Bryan. Got cloudy piss. The best bits of ZM's Brian Clint. Cam Mansell filling in. Clint is having the old snip, snip, hooray, so he will be back next week. Cam, this next story gives me nightmares because I'm the type of person who whenever I'm on a train, I always have this fear that I'm on the wrong train.

I have the exact same fear and it's not just trains for me. I know when you get on a plane, they check your boarding pass, but I'm forever freaking out whilst on a flight that I'm going to the wrong place. Yes. It's also the same on buses the amount of time I get on the wrong bus and I end up like on the opposite side of town to where I'm trying to go it's ridiculous you need to learn how to read public transport yes I really do you and me both maybe there's a cinema cinema polytech cinema Polytech. Cinema? Cinema? Seminar? Seminar. I honestly had no idea what you were talking about. I was like, I really don't know how to fix this word, but I know it's not right. What is happening? What's going on?

What's happened with this dude? There's this dude in the UK and he'd gone to Europe and he was travelling by himself. It was his first ever solo trip and he was... ...freaking out a little bit because he'd never done solo travel. So he's, you know, larger than life experiencing all these new experiences, loving his trip. And then he gets on this train and he's going to a different destination. Okay.

And so he's on this train and at the beginning they were like, this train splits into two and half of the train continues to where he was going. I think it was somewhere in France. And at the beginning, they were like, this train splits into two and half of the train continues to where he was going. I think it was somewhere in France. And then the other half of the train splits off and goes somewhere in Spain. Wait, so they go to completely different countries? Completely different countries. Oh, Europe, hey? Yeah, just crossing the border.

No big deal. So anyway, he's sitting on this train and for a while he's like chill about it and he's like it's all good and then he's probably like five hours into this trip and then he realizes oh no i'm in the wrong end of the train i was supposed to be going to france and i'm on my way to spain don't you hate that when you get your ends mixed up and you're like this is the wrong end of the train i should have been at the top or I'm down the bottom. This is not good. This is not good at all. That is a nightmare. So far, he traveled five hours in the wrong direction. To make the situation worse, he had two pounds in his bank account, which is basically like four dollars.

That's not safe travel, is it? It's probably more money than I've got in my bank account, so stop skiting. And he had 3% battery on his phone. Oh, nightmare. Nightmare. Not a good time. But surely you're on a train, you'd be able to find someone with a charger. So I think that's easy to fix.

Yeah, you'd think so. He just might need to find a job when he gets to the destination to be able to go somewhere else. To be able to get back to where he was going. I always like, because obviously we haven't been able to travel for quite a few years. And I always think about disaster travel stories, which that's what I would try and tell myself over the three years to make myself feel better about not being able to travel.

My sister had one of the worst travel stories I've heard where her and her new husband went on their honeymoon and they were going to do Route 66 over in America. I've always wanted to do that. Yeah, they reckon it was amazing, but the trip started horribly because they, you know, caught the flight. They get to LA. My sister's there.

She's waiting at the badge carousel and she's like looking around, waiting, everyone's picking up their bags and slowly everyone's leaving. And then she's like, oh, no, this surely can't be happening to me on my honeymoon. And the airline lost her bag. That's the worst feeling even when it's not your honeymoon. So imagine how much worse it would be because your honeymoon,

I feel, is like the trip of a lifetime. You know, it's supposed to be the best memories of your life. Yeah, well, the best memories of her life was washing her undies in the hotel bathroom. Drying them with the hairdryer. Yeah, exactly right.

Brain Clint. The best bits. There is a horse escape artist terrorising the people of Cambridge at the moment. The owner of that horse is Maya Vance and she joins us on the phone now. Hi, the owner of that horse is Maya Vance, and she joins us on the phone now.

Hi, Maya. G'day, Maya. Hey, how are you? Panda? Panda is the name of your horse, the Escape Artist? Yeah, well, Panda is one of them. I actually have two, and it's like they're in a competition

who can inconvenience my life the most, and I don't even know which one is winning. They're both doing a pretty good job at the moment. Okay, what's the other horse's name? The other one's name is Slim Shady. Slim Shady. And what does Slim Shady do? Lately, he's been dying right next to the footpath.

And that's where all the kids walk past to go to school, which scares the absolute crap out of everyone because they think he's dead. And they take photos and they put it on the grapevine or they call the council. And I think I'm not far off getting kicked out of the town they think he's dead. And they take photos and they put it on the grapevine or they call the council. And I think I'm not far off getting, like, kicked out of the town. Wait, Maya, he's not actually dying near the footpath. He's pretending, right?

Yeah, no, he pretends. But he does a pretty good job. Like, some people say he lays there with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, like, just flat out. And he also lays with his legs stiff, like as if he is dead. I don't know why he does that. Right, okay. And Panda, the horse that actually made the news

over the weekend, is escaping from your property and going to visit dementia patients in Cambridge. Is that correct? Yeah, well, I started taking him there myself over COVID when they couldn't see their families and stuff like that. And I just thought it would be a nice thing. And they were giving him little bits of carrots and so were the staff. And they all really love him.

And I've actually had to put him on a diet lately. And I think that's why he keeps running over there now because he knows that the patients feed him. He's not an idiot. He remembers where he can get the treats from, Maya. That makes sense. How long is the distance from your house and where Panda escapes to get to the dementia clinic?

Well, he opens this paddock gate that goes into my backyard. He goes around the house, down the driveway. Then there's a couple turns kind of towards town to get there. But he uses the footpath, which is I think quite polite. Yeah, that is quite polite. So do you need a better gate? Do you need an electric fence? What's the deal? How do you stop your horse from escaping from your house? I think maybe I just need a better horse. You've got to trade him in.

Horsu Dini. Trade him in. Yeah. Well, if the patients are enjoying seeing Panda, they'd probably take over the stewardship and then he could just stay there. What do you reckon? I think if he does it one more time,

I might just leave him there. He can just live there. Maya, we follow each other on TikTok and I've seen that you have the horses in the house sometimes. You treat these horses like they're your kids. Do you think they're just rebelling from you? I think so. Like I said, they're kind of trying to see who can increase my life the most.

Actually, now this makes sense. This is your fault. You haven't taught them any horse discipline. Yeah, I've created more stuff. Yeah, they're spoiled horses.. Yeah, thus spoil horses. That's the problem. Where's the horse etiquette? You need to smack their little horse bottoms.

Well, people are like, oh, how do you get them to come in the house? I leave the door open, that's how. That's amazing to me. Maya, you've inspired us this afternoon. We're going to ask people to call us on 0800-DIALS-AT-M and tell us what their pet is that keeps escaping and where it ends

up. Like, can you beat a horse that escapes to go and visit dementia patients? Where is your pet going on their escapes? I reckon some cats might just top him, but yeah. But cats, boring.

I want to know if your pig is heading down to McDonald's. Yeah, cats have disposable thumbs, whereas horses, they don't. They have what thumbs? Disposable thumbs. Opposable. Oh, it's opposable. Oh, no. Disposable.

Disposable means they could throw them away. Oh, no. Brain Clint. The best bits. What time is it? No. away. Oh, no. Bree and Clint. The best bits. What time is it? Three, two, one. It is Bree and Clint. G'day, everybody.

Welcome to the Bree and Clint show, where today, it's just a boring old twosome. You just get us in a boring old twosome, but sometimes, you know, you like that. Familiarat. Familiarat. Oh, I've really stuffed myself here. I'm going to let you figure it that. Familiar out. Familiar. Oh, I've really stuffed myself here. I'm going to let you figure it out.

Familiarity. No. Familiarity. No, you get one more guess. You got the front bit right. It's familiar. Yeah, and I'm not going to correct you actually. That's perfectly fine.

Let's talk tourist attractions because, I I mean the world is opening up. People are travelling. I see it all over my Instagram. Stop posting your photos from Europe. I'm happy for you that you got to see the Trivi Fountain, okay? I don't need to see it. I love that you're there. I just don't want to know about it.

Oh, you found the world's best calamari in Greece. Good for you. Put it in your personal file. You're having pizza in Napoli. Oh, fun. No world's best calamari in Greece. Good for you. Put it in your personal file. You're having pizza in Napoli. Oh, fun. No, I'm happy. I'm happy for you. Look, a study's been done where they've essentially scoured the internet

and gathered all of the negative comments versus the positive comments about tourist attractions from around the world. Right. And they've pretty much devised a top 10 most disappointing tourist attractions based on the comments. Interesting. Okay. So, I mean, how many do you want? Do you want all 10?

Yeah, give me the top 10. Okay, the top 10, starting from number 10, most disappointing tourist attractions, Buckingham Palace. Oh, I was not disappointed. You weren't? I think it would have been. I mean, I've never been. It's grand.

But the Queen doesn't live there at the moment. It's being renovated. So maybe that's why. Okay, sure. Yeah. Quite a lot of negative comments. Maybe these people who are expected to go in. And sit on the toilet.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, do that stuff. Coming in at number nine, this one I completely disagree. The Pyramids of Giza. Oh, no. People who say they're disappointed by those have not done their research. What are you talking about? I've never been there.

But if you knew what you were looking at, how could you possibly be disappointed? You can't be disappointed by those. I mean, I've never been. I've never been. I've never been. But I know that it would be, I've heard amazing things about the pyramids. Okay, that's number nine. Number eight, the Empire State Building.

Wrong. Wrong. Which I've heard is also amazing. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. That is amazing. It's iconic. It's not the best view of New York at the top of it.

You're better to go up the other one. What's it called? The Rockefeller Centre. And look at it. And look at the Empire State Building. But the Empire State Building is not disappointing. Okay, yeah, sure. People said a lot of people were left unimpressed.

It'll take you two and a half hours to get up. Yeah. People were unimpressed due to unpredictable weather most of the time. Which, I mean, it's not the Empire State Building. No. Number seven, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Really? It's disappointing.

That's what people are saying. Never been. I've heard that it's the only good thing in Pisa, though. So you go all this way there. Like Pisa's a bit of an asshole. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Their buildings are falling over.

Literally. People say it's terrible, overrated, mass tourist trap. It is though. That's what a lot of people are saying. Let's just breathe. I'd still like to see it. I'd still like to see it too. Number six, the White House. You can't get close to the White House. You have to look at it from the fence,

right? Yeah. That's come in at number six. Number five, Big Ben. People are saying, I've seen bigger. I went to see Big Ben. Is that it? I went to see Big Ben on my honeymoon, and when we got there, he was covered in scaffolding.

Oh. Now fixing Big Ben. Your wife would have been devo. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely gutted at that. Good scaffolding, though. I bet. Number four, the Hollywood sign.

Not disappointing at all. I agree with you. I bet. Number four, the Hollywood sign. Not disappointing at all. I agree with you. You and I went together a few years ago. I loved it. Although, remember producer Ben got us that special hook up? Yeah. And she drove us up a private road and we basically were touching the H of the Hollywood sign. Yeah, that is true.

If you didn't get that close to it, then maybe it's a bit disappointing. Yeah, someone said not as amazing as TV makes out. it's a bit disappointing. Yeah, someone said, not as amazing as TV makes out. It's a bit disappointing. Just don't go out of your way for it. I loved it. I thought it was very cool. Number three, Stonehenge.

Stonehenge. Okay, yeah. People don't know how it got there, guys. But I have heard it described as just a pile of rocks. Yeah. Apparently, it's been built. Back to the Hollywood sign for a second. Yeah.

Remember the lady who took us up there to see the Hollywood sign told us that she keeps a bucket of white paint in the back of her car because if anyone graffitis the Hollywood sign, she gives it a touch up while she's up there. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's right. That was wild, eh?

Yeah. Apparently Stonehenge has been built next to a busy, sorry, not built, a busy motorway has been built next to it. So it's not really the- Are you blaming the town planners of Stonehenge? Stonehenge sort of thought about that. I mean, obviously that's the best place for a motorway to go in. Number two is the Palace of Versailles.

Versailles? I've never even heard of it. The Palace of Versailles. Versailles? I've never even heard of it. The Palace of Versailles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I did when I was writing this list? I went, I better check how that's pronounced. Versailles? Versailles?

Just breeze through it. Keep going. I think I like my way better. Palace of Versailles. Yeah, never heard of it. I've never even heard of that place. I don't know too much about it, but I know that it's not called the Vesalus.

The number one. I'm just going to keep going. Number one, most disappointing tourist attraction. All producers, donate like you don't know what these are called. God damn it. Never going to live this down. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is the most disappointing. It's awful, yeah.

It's dirty. It's weird. And you don't know who half the celebrities are. And by the time you get to a certain area, if you're like, oh I want to find Christopher Walken's star. You'll get there, there'll be a Christopher Walken impersonator and he'll charge you $50

for a photo with him and you won't get a choice whether you're having the photo or not. He'll take it and then he'll charge you. He's like, photo, you owe me $50. $50.
