You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brian Clint, the podcast. After party. Duh. What up? One of the things I hate, it's good way to start a podcast day. Wow, straight in. Well, they say that negative stuff on the internet gets more reaction than positive stuff.

True, let's do some rage beating. But I don't mean to be negative. One of the things I hate is online shopping. Why? Okay, why? Because I'm part boomer, but also because... I just hate it. I like going into shops and getting my things.

I never trust it. I hate the idea of having to send something back. That's the most annoying admin on the planet to me. It is a very annoying piece of admin. So today I was in a store and I bought some shorts and they only had one. Oh, you get a roses chocolate while I tell my boring story. I bought a pair of shorts in the store. Why am I wasting this on the podcast?

This is the last week of the year. Is this the juice for the show? Fuck. Oh, we're here now. I'm in trance by this. Keep going. I'm fixated. I bought myself a pair of shorts.

They weren't cheap. How much? $150. Holy! Where from? Super Rhett. Oh, what brand? Super Rit.

Ralph Lauren. Ralph Lauren. Oh, wow. It's a comfortable. It's a breedable and so much. I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll tell you why I'll spend the money. I'll tell you why I'll tell you.

why I spent the money because every summer at the beginning of summer I've gone I need a pair of shorts and I've gone into the store and I've found the right shorts and they're so expensive and I go no I'll find cheaper I'll find cheaper and then I never do and then it gets to like the last month of summer and then I go and get some shit pair of shorts and I've wasted the whole summer so this year I went fuck it I've found the shorts just buy them so I bought them and I'm like you brie you're like me once you find it a item of clothing that's good I want it in every color I go how can I get this in every it's what I've done with these t-shirts

it's what I'm doing with these pants that I'm wearing and it's what I've chosen to do with these shorts too so I ordered them, bought them they're getting shipped to my house $150. I'm just trying to find them and then I just trying to find them

Fuck I hope I get free shipping for that price anyway You'd hope so I The point of my story is after I left the store I went into can I find more of these shorts mode and I looked for them online I found them online for half the

price. No. From the iconic. Oh, that's so annoying. And I'm not here to support the iconic. We've got no business in the iconic. Mm-hmm. But I was like, oh, I'm gutted.

I mean, I... You don't have to come up to the expensive ones, though. Buy the cheaper ones. I have. I bought them already. But have you worn them? Take them back. Yeah.

Have you worn them? No. Take them back. Get a refund by two pairs. Yes. You absolutely take them back and say they were. a gift. They were a Christmas gift. I bought them for myself. On my credit card.

They don't know that. Just say you don't have to give a reason. I bought them on my credit card. You lie. You don't have to give them a reason at all. You lie. The people at the shop don't know that. You take them back. Then you buy two pairs for the same price. Hi, sorry, these were a gift. Will they give me my money back? Or do they give me, do I spend it in the shop? Wait, let me, well, I mean, if they give you credit in the shop, then you can buy

something else that you like and then go buy, like, like Claudia said, $2. Who pairs? Is this really a foreign concept to you? Yes, it is. I don't online shop. Let me just see their policy on their website. There we go. They also don't return things.

You commit. Yeah, that's why I agonise over my purchases so much. Because the idea of returning them isn't in my brain. It's like, it's final. I live my life so free that I'm like, if I change my mind, I can give it back. I see. It's so non-committal. I think you can return it.

Okay. Of course you can. Okay. Yeah, I think you can just go back and... Okay, guys, this is good. When am I going to have time to go back into the store? Oh, my God. Buy the ones from the iconic now.

I've done it. I bought them too. What kind are they? I want to see what the shorts they are. None of your goddamn business. Oh, because they were more than 150. No, they weren't. No, no, no.

Oh, they were 150. And the ones on the iconic was 78. Oh. They're exact same. Wild eight. Exact same. So annoying. Here we go, hold on.

I've just found the returns. Arguably a better size. It says here's a quick checklist for easy returns. Just make sure the answer is yes to all of these. You're ready? Was the item purchased within 21 days? Yes. Okay.

Is the item in new condition and has tags or packaging attached? Yes. Is it a sale item? No. Okay, good. Not underwear, swimwear or a consumable? They are arguably a swimwear. No, I think they're meaning like dick togs or like bikinis, you know, stuff where it's like...

Well, they're in the packet still. Yeah, that's fine. They're being shut to my house right now. Items purchased on a promotion can be returned for a credit note or exchange only. Okay, so that's like, you know. Good to go. That's fine. It's discounted by 50% or more from the original.

No. No. Please know that the return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. That doesn't apply to you. Oh, we're good to go. Just pop into any store with your name, order number, an item to return, and our team will take care of the rest. There you go.

Thanks, Peezy. You're welcome. Oh, you're thanks, Bree. You didn't look up the returns policy for me. Just put the idea on the table, but... Did you? I feel like it was me. Yeah, it was all brew.

It wasn't a team effort. Well, I'd like to return my thanks. We double-teamed Clint. So I can get twice the thanks to distribute amongst you. Yeah, you're right. You should just return them. You should get double-team. I can't believe that thought didn't even enter his brain.

You said you don't like returning things. Yeah, that's why you buy in store. Yeah, I don't return things is what I should have said. What if something happens? What if it makes you feel frumpy? Just regret that purpose for the next two years and then put it on Trade Me. Yeah, like what if this happens? What?

You know? I just commit. Oh, this is just me. I wasn't looking for solution. This podcast wasn't solution-focused. This was a vent about how much I hate online shopping. That's what we do, Claude. We're fixers.

Just fix it, guys, you know. Tears stream. Down my face. No. That's not right. What melody? Fuck up. Down my face.

Down my face. With arms wide a war upon. With arms wide a roopon. Oh, our other podcasts that Claudia's put out is with James Cameron. And it's just the James Cameron interview. But he was very good. It was very interesting. I wish I'd told him my story about my friend who picked up his son, hitchhiking, his stepson.

Why didn't you tell him that story? I fucking opened with it before the cameras were rolling. And I was like, oh, he won't be into this. He was into it. And then the camera started rolling. And then I got nervous. And I defaulted to my stupid questions. Damn it.

And he goes, oh, that'd be Jasper. And I was like, yeah, fucking is Jasper. What the fuck? Oh, man. Isn't it funny? Like, those things are so difficult, though. when you get in there and you kind of just roll with

like a lot of the time I'll walk out or something like that and I'll be like I have no idea what I just did. I saw Louis Davis because he did some stuff down there too and we know this I know this but he just

reiterated it he goes all I'm looking for is a human moment because I don't give a shit about the movie I'm just looking for a human moment and he's so right yeah and it's like when you and I

have done these other junkets before none of the questions about the show go anywhere Nah. We always go, what can we ask or, you know, what's something that's interesting that'll show that human moment. But it's hard to get that without looking gimmicky. Yeah.

But I mean, I think it's all about, and the way you and I structure it is if you build the rapport first and then you do it right at the end. As I left the interview, though, I mean, it doesn't help. But as I left the interview, James Cameron did say to the guys doing the interview, he goes, there was a great interview. And I was like,

I guess we'll never know. Was it on camera? You'll know because I'm telling you that it happened. Oh, but you could tell us anything. No, but I'm a trustworthy person. Yeah, I don't even return my clothing items. It's so crazy. On the weekend, after I saw Lady Gaga, she picked me out from the crowd.

And she was like, you come backstage. And I sat backstage with her, and she was like, you are the most beautiful human I've seen all tour. That's awesome. I'm so happy for you. Oh, thanks. But that was before you kissed her. Yeah.

And then we made out. James and I did that. Did you? Yeah. Yeah, right. Good weekend for both of us then. That scene and avatar when they stick their little antenna things together. They're docking.

Their tails. We did that. Nice. Nice. And that's when James Cameron took out an AVO on Clint. That's right. Can I go on the next junket? They sound fun.

You can I go? Can I go? Can I go? See you guys tomorrow, I guess. Or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, we'll do it. Four more shows to go.

Four more to go. Four more to go. Thank God. Plus those 16 podcast, Claudia needs us to record. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry, guys, my phone's ringing. Yeah, hello. Is that Lady Gaga?

Yeah, no. I thought you'd call it Stephanie. Is that James? Oh my God, are we still docked? Sorry. After party. Duh. Play ZM's Brian Clint on Insa, Facebook, TikTok and live weekdays from three on ZM.
