ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. It's our radio show, but wrapped up in a neat little package just for you. It's ZM's Brie and Clint podcast. Everybody in the club, it's a... Hi everybody, welcome to the after party. You know how I've been on a quest to find my new coffee machine? Yeah. And I bought one, I got one.

Yeah. I haven't installed it yet because I'm going to do it on the weekend. By installed it, I mean, get it out of the box and put it on the bench. Plug it in. Plug it in. Put some water and beans in it. Anyway, I've been high on the hog.

Cock of the hoop. Talking about how- Cock of the what? Cock of the hoop. Doing what? How great I am researching, securing at a great price the new coffee machine. What happened?

We were like a cop. Can I just point this out before you say something? You ignored my advice and you went a different direction. No, I went in a similar direction. I just wanted my own twist on it. Right, okay. I just wanted to get that out there before. We don't know the information you're about to tell us.

The information would have been the same if I'd got the one you suggested too. Okay. Interesting. We have a coffee, I don't want to say station, but like a place in our kitchen where the coffee machine would naturally go. And I put a little shelf above the coffee machine where our coffee cups sit. And I said to my wife this morning, I was like, oh, enjoy that coffee. It'll be one of the last ones you had of this machine. because I'm putting the new machine in this weekend. Yeah. And she goes, will the new machine fit under the shelf? And I hadn't measured it at all

the shelf or the machine and the machines arrived at our house and I was like oh, I don't know but probably. Anyway I measured it and it's about 12 centimeters off. Oh no. 12 centimeters? What? You know what machine would have fit? Nah, it'd be the same problem. Cause of the bean hopper on the top. That's the thing. Is the shelf removable? So, so. Yeah, get rid of your dumb shelf.

So now my weekend will be spent taking the shelf off the wall, replastering the holes in the wall, replastering the holes in the wall where the shelf was, and moving it higher, sanding, repainting the entire wall because you can't just paint the part that you plaster you have to repaint on a white wall you have to repaint the whole wall. Technically you can. It's not a big wall but I... And here's my suggestion, you paint it, the coffee machine's gonna be in front of it anyway. Yeah centimeters above it

Anyway reinstalling the shelf and then your Sunday will consist of getting someone else in to do it Wow After you fucked it out after I fuck it up get the guy and to fix the thing that I fixed Anyway, it's like the shelf was just put in the wrong position Oh no. Anyway, it's all gonna be worth it. Sounds to me like the shelf was just put in the wrong position. Can you reuse the shelf?

Well, I put the shelf in too. Yeah, so you put the shelf in the wrong position. Does it even need a shelf? It's quite a nice shelf. Nice to have a spot to put your mugs. Yeah, just your feature mugs. Yeah. Not all your mugs.

Just your nice mugs. Do you guys use feature mugs? Yeah. They get used? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just the mugs that are the right colour palette and look a little bit more.

They're not, but they look a little bit more handmade. Yeah. You know? I've got so many mismatched mugs in my house. Yeah, and then the Kmart mugs go in the cupboard. Yeah. Yeah. I love a good mug.

For when people come over that you don't like as much. You're like, here, you can use these mugs. Here you go, dad, you can have the shit mug. You drink shit coffee, you can have the shit mug. Do you guys have a favorite of all the mugs? Yep. What does it look like? It's white with blue stripes going down it.

Okay. And it's quite a wide mug with a thin handle. Hmm, okay. Interesting. down it and it's quite a wide mug with a thin handle. Okay. Interesting. I do. It's the one with the picture of my dogs on it. Oh yeah.

Someone sent it to me out of the blue and I was like, oh, this is such a cute mug. And it's like real clear. Like the picture's real crisp. That's my favourite mug, but I'm always scared to use it. Claudia, am I your favourite mug? You are my favourite mug. but I'm always scared to use it. Claudia, am I your favorite mug? You are my favorite mug. Am I your favorite muff?

You're definitely one of my top muffs. Okay, good. That's for sure. One of the top muffs? How many top muffs do you have? I've got a top four. Claudia's got muff on the go. Do you have muff on the go? I could if I wanted to.

I'll buy you a mercan. Out of us three, I'm the youngest and I'm 10 years older than Pixie. Wow. Wow. That hurts, right? It hurts me more. Do we feel-

It hurts me the most. Here's a great question for Pixie. Who's 21? Do we feel- Hang on. Good question. To you. Who's 21? Do we feel old to you? Oh, good question. No. No, and be honest.

No, like truly no. I'm an old soul, I am. Because we feel old to Ella. Yeah. But she's- I feel older than Ella though. Yeah, I feel like you are older than Ella. You're younger than Ella, but Ella seems younger than you.

Yeah. Yeah. I feel protective over Ella, but- Yeah, it's strange. Yeah, but you're younger than Ella, but Ella seems younger than you. Yeah. Yeah. I feel protective over Ella, but. Yeah, it's strange. Yeah, but you're younger. Yeah, weird. I feel protective over Ella, but I mean, she's married. Yeah, literally.

She's so very young. Yeah. Mm. I was talking to someone today and I was like, Ella and her husband. I was thinking the other day about how she's on her honeymoon in China and I was like, are we okay with her being over in China?

I'm like are people checking up on her? I'm like does she have her location things on? I know her husband's there but should she have an adult with her? I'm using her laptop and I constantly get calls from her WhatsApp from Ryan. I'm like well she's clearly not got a guardian with her. She's lost! She'd answer it to my own to be like, ni hao! She's lost in the middle of Beijing!

Literally. Where's her parents? Did you guys ever get lost in a crowd when you were kids? Yeah, yeah, and I fucking freaked out. Me too. I lost my shit. I was too clingy to get lost. Yeah, I was literally hanging onto my mum's jeans the whole time.

But then when I sprouted and started going to festivals with my friends, like 16, 17, I was the meeting spot. So it was like... What do you mean? Because I was tall, I was so tall and so much taller than other... That's literally not what a meeting spot is. No, no, so... Because you move, you would have moved.

Yeah, I know, but if we're in the mosh pit, they go, well, there's Clint. We'll just get to Clint. Right. At what age did you stop holding your parents' hands? I still hold my mom's hands, I'm dumb. Aw. I think if I held my mom's hands, she'd be like, what? Like, don't even touch me.

What is going on? Here's an even more interesting question. When did you stop having baths with your parents? I don't really think I've ever had a bath. I definitely did. You've definitely had a bath with your parents. Last week, Brie. You've definitely had a bath with your parents.

No, no, no, no. Everyone's had a bath with their parents. I'm sure I have, but I cannot remember. Not one that you're old enough to remember. Brie, I was shaving my legs the other day and I thought about you because that story you said about how you guys would share the same bath water and you'd fight about who had to go after your mom because she'd shave in the bath. I'd be like,water and you'd fight about who had to go after your mum because she'd shave at the bath. I'd be like, ew, I was like, I wanna go fast.

We were bathwater sharers too, but I never thought about that. We had no choice. You never think about the gross part at all when you're a kid. I used to go after my dad, and that's fucking disgusting. My dad worked in a gas station. That's fucking weird.

And he'd come home filthy, And he also had eczema. And so he would have... Talk! He'd have... He'd go through battle with it. So he'd have pinotasso in the bath. So the bath was like radioactive yellow. Not to mention all the fucking dead skin cells.

You know, I never thought about the dead skin until right now. Ugh! It was all over you. Ugh! Fucking 90s-esque. Did you guys bath with your siblings? Yeah.

And cousins, yeah. Yeah, friends, cousins. Do you remember the time where you felt like it was weird? No. No. We had a, there's- I've told this story before. I remember the time I felt weird about being naked

in front of my family though. I was at my Nan's house and I turned the shower on and her shower was backwards. She had a shove and the thing was installed wrong. So I thought I was turning it down and I turned it up and it like scolded me and I squealed. It must have been like 12 or 13. And my mum and my Nan came running into this tiny bathroom, ripped back the shower curtain and I was like, ah! This is way worse! I'd rather get burnt! This is worse! I'd rather get burnt from the heat!

This is somehow worse and they're like, oh honey! It's okay honey, it's okay, put the towel around you! Get out Nan, I want you to see my willy! I don't want you to see my willy, Nan! We had this hideous, old pink bath and it was one of those ones where the tap was at one end so I was like bath and then the tap was down this end. And so have you guys ever, let me explain to you. Nah some taps are in the middle. Yeah some taps are in the middle. One of the worst, most painful feelings in the world, did you guys ever, when you're

in the bath, and you know how when you're kids you're like, it's a good time so you're like moving around, did you ever hit your back? Your lower back when you're standing up? Yeah like crates down by your tailbone. That or leaning back onto the hot tap. Oh both bad. That's the original tramp stamp. The tap burn.

I love how all of us had to have trauma from that. My cousin stuck her fingers down the plug hole and the fire brigade had to come and Fuck off. Did they clothe her? She was very young. Yeah, I know, I know, but Cause it's gonna take the fire service a while to get there

and the bath was drained. And cold water. You could slide some undies on. They would have clothed. They would need to get around the fingers. You couldn't get a t-shirt on. No. But you could maybe. You could cover the bottom robe. And cold water. You could slide some undies on. They would have clothed. They would need to get around the fingers. You couldn't get a t-shirt on. No. But you could maybe.

You could cover the bottom half, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. That sucks. Like, like a opposite Donald Duck. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Oh, good times. Good times, guys. We're growing up. I think we'll leave it there. Let me go have a bath. You guys'll leave it there. I have a bath You guys wanna I had a bath last week. Did you? Incredible how much water it takes. Yeah, it's a lot eh to cover me in a bath Do you top it up as you go when it gets a little cold? Yeah, I get in at three quarters and leave it running

Nothing like a bath fart eh? Oh the bubbles So good I just felt actually. You know how all baths- You bathed in eczema water and that makes you feel it. You know how all bath farts smell the same? You guys all- I don't remember a smell.

You all know what I'm talking about. I have no idea what you're talking about. They all have a smell. Fuck, we should have wrapped it up before. We were so close. I was in the bath with my brother once and he pooed. Oh! And that's when she knew she couldn't bath with her brother anymore.

That was the moment. That was the worst part of lockdown.
