The ZM Podcast Network. Hi everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint After Party where Brie and I are in the South Island of New Zealand at the moment in Dunedin. And Claudia and Ella are in our Auckland studio. Hi! Hi! We flew down this morning. My alarm went off at 5 5am What time did your alarm go off? Quarter past 5 Don't ask when mine went off We literally never want to know

I didn't set an alarm Oh my god you didn't even set an alarm I haven't done that since 2010 I literally just wake up when I wake up Which is like 7.38 So it's not bad Wait you wake up like 7.38, so it's not bad. Wait, you wake up at 7.38?

It's like you're going to school. No, no. No, no. Anyway, you infuriate me with that sort of thing. I know, I love rubbing it in. It's not even rubbing it in, it's like I feel get up! Anyway. We flew down this morning and we got to deneden

and the first thing we did was get some food and well not the first thing if you listen to the podcast you'll hear about our near-death experience in the car we nearly died and then we got some food and then we got some food and we went to this place and the um the the zm person who works down here in deneden said oh you guys have to go here and eat these bacon buddies. And Brad didn't know what a bacon buddy was. Wait, what? I've heard it's spoken about in New Zealand. I'm pretty sure it's a Kiwi thing.

Is it? I'm pretty sure. Is it British? Well, it's a British thing that has been transferred to New Zealand, but it's not really a thing in Australia. Ella, do you know what a bacon buddy is? Like a bacon McMuffin? Kind of, yeah.

It's a bacon sandwich, essentially. Right, yeah, yeah. It's like a bacon buddy is? Like a bacon McMuffin? Kind of, yeah. It's a bacon sandwich, essentially. Right, yeah, yeah. It's like a bacon roll. Yeah, it's a bacon roll, a bacon breakfast muffin. See, like in Australia, we would never just have a roll with just bacon on it. Like we have a bacon and egg. And tomato sauce. A bacon, yeah.

Like who's having that? Yeah, and you're right. To be fair, we had to pay extra for the egg. Yeah. Like who's having just bacon on two bits of bread? Like it's a bacon and egg roll. It's not a bacon roll. Anyway, Claudia, this is a good question for you

because as triggered as I get by Ella's sleeping routine and yours, I reckon it's just as triggered as you get about money stuff. How much do you reckon our bacon buddies were this morning? Did you buy it from the airport or outside the airport? We bought it from a cafe in downtown Dunedin, and we bought it on your credit card. But to put it into perspective, though, to give you a little bit of insight,

the cafe was quite new. It looked new. And the countertop did look like green marble. Oh, okay. I feel like if I was, I've never bought one in my life, but I feel like an okay price would be $10, but if you would go high-end, $14? $14 for a high-end?

Yeah. Locking in $14. Is that with or without the egg? That's pre-egg. Pre-egg. Oh, that's pre-egg. So let's do, because we got egg on ours. Okay, post-egg.

Oh, God, $18 feels like a lot. It's going to be a lot got egg on ours. Okay, post-egg. Oh, God, 18 feels like a lot. It's going to be a lot. I want to say. $4 for an egg. Yeah, they would. Okay, 16. The bacon butty that we had today from the cafe was $17. Plus $3 for the egg.

Oh, my God. I was going to say $20. It's a $20 sandwich. It's ridiculous. I'm looking at the receipt here, Claudia. We got two bacon butties and two coffees. And it was $52. Oh, my God. Oh, Claudia. We got two Bacon Buddies and two coffees, and it was $52. Oh, my God.

Shit. Did it taste $20? It was pretty good. It was very good. It was actually pretty good. Was it thick? It was very good. Was it filling?

It wasn't big. It wasn't $20 filling? It wasn't a whole meal. It was quite small. Oh, my God. But it was delicious. It's like you're still in Auckland. And it had like a spicy mayo in it.

It was quite nice. It was quite nice. It was $52. I was looking at it. I was like, man, that's $52. That's like. Speaking of. Glad I gave you the credit card.

So are we. Yeah. So are we. And if anyone asks, we're going to say it was you and Ella that got up early that day at 1030. If anyone asks, we're going to say, yeah, we got up at 5 in the morning. Speaking of different types of mayos, have you guys ever had wasabi mayo?

Yes. Yum. Cully's do a very good wasabi mayo. We made our own the other night at home. Do you guys think, who here has had horseradish before? I love horseradish with steak. I think it's very yum. I hate stuff like that. Do you guys think, who here has had horseradish before? Yeah. I love horseradish with steak. Yeah.

I think it's very yum. I hate stuff like that. Do you guys think horseradish tastes super similar to wasabi? Yeah, quite. It's white though, eh? It's white. Yeah. Horseradish is white.

But good wasabi has just a little bit extra to it, like a bite. But shit, it tastes the same. Like it's that same flavour that hits you in the back of the nostrils. We went to a Japanese restaurant the other night. Oh, which one? And we went on our date to see Kevin MacLeod from Grand Designs. Oh, yeah, how was that? Kevin MacLeod was good.

We went to this Japanese restaurant by the Sky Tower in Auckland. Not good? No, excellent. Amazing. But we went there by default because the place we wanted to go was full. Okay. It's called Masu It's very fancy

I went to the opening Of that restaurant And the Prime Minister Was there Oh shit And he was serving Sake out of a barrel With a ladle

Fun That sounds like My type of restaurant It was great But he was going One for you One for me One for you

One for me I want to go there And about 15 minutes afterwards His security Loves you Was like alright Mr Key needs to leave now And they put him in a car One for me, one for you, one for me. I want to go there. And about 15 minutes afterwards, his security were like, all right, Mr. Key needs to leave now. And they put him in a car and drove him away very quickly. Mr. Key needs to go home to bed. But my point is we had the sushi there and they have the wasabi,

the hand-shaved wasabi from the actual root, which a lot of the time you go it's like wasabi from powder. Yeah. Blew your face off. It was so much spicier. Wasabi just affects me so much. Speaking of restaurants, do you want a wasabi fact before you move on? Yeah, go on. I just googled it

because I was like, I get a feeling that horseradish and wasabi are kind of the same thing. They're from the same family, but apparently a lot of wasabi is just horseradish that they've dyed green. I knew it. That's what I was thinking. I knew it. i knew it tastes so similar also do you guys want a dad joke oh yep what is um what does jay-z say when he gets home wasabi wasabi wasabi um i love it i gotta tell i gotta tell you guys about this restaurant that i have been obsessing over i haven't i haven't been yet but fuck i'm so keen to go but it's so booked out you haven't over. I haven't been yet, but fuck, I'm so keen to go,

but it's so booked out. You haven't been? No, I haven't been. You haven't been. No, but I'm obsessed with it because I've been following it on TikTok. Ooh. And hold on, it's probably, well, I know it's not for Claudia or Ella, maybe Claudia, but it started in lockdown, right?

They started in lockdown. Do you guys know what a seafood boil is? Oh, yes, I do. So when I lived in America, I got really obsessed with these things called seafood boils. And it's like all of this seafood and it's in like this amazing sauce. And they usually bring it out in a bag. And it's all like in a bag, in like a plastic bag. And all the juices are in there. And then they'll like release the bag and it's just holy shit anyway there's this place um

in auckland that started these people that started in lockdown and they started like doing deliveries of these seafood boils and then that after lockdown finished, they opened this restaurant. And now it's so, like, you cannot get in. Yeah, right. What's it called? It's called Manaya Seafood Boil. Okay. And shit.

Do they cook it in the bag? Because have you seen those ladies on TikTok, like those Chinese ladies who get, like, a plastic bag, like a supermarket bag, and they prop it up on two sticks over a fire. What? And the fire's, like, licking the bottom of the bag, but because the bag is full of water, then they create like a broth inside the bag, and they add more and more

things to it. The bag never bursts, even though it's got fire underneath it. Why wouldn't it melt? That's what everybody says, like, why isn't the bag melting? Hold on, wait, ready? Oh, I love those TikTokers. Oh, yeah, it's in a bag. Oh!

Yeah. I low-key hate that it comes in a plastic bag. That's kind of gross to me, but the food looks great. Doesn't it? Do they open it onto a table? It's okay. No, it's into a bowl.

They empty the bag onto a dish. I've seen some places, it might be in the States, where you get the bag and you just kind of open it up on the table. Yeah, they have the paper down on the table and they literally just dish it out on the table. It's got half a corn cob in the bag.

Yeah, there's like a classic seafood boil always has like sausage, corn, potato. Oh, sausage? Yeah, like some type of sausage. And then like crawfish, lobster, crab, oysters, mussels. Anyway, I'll give you an update if I ever get in. Yeah, that sounds delicious. Thank God. Yeah?

Oh, sorry. What's the difference between an oyster and a mussel?, that sounds delicious. Thank God. Yeah? Oh, sorry. What's the difference between an oyster and a mussel? Just a different kind of shellfish. Really? Same sand, but different. They're a different species. Yeah, they're completely

different creatures. Yeah. Huh. I want to say, like, I'm not really a fan of either, to be honest. One's a mollusk, and one is...

What did I try with you, Clint? Oyster. Oyster. Oh, no, no, no. You ate a bit of muscle. You ate a bit of muscle at that Italian restaurant. I don't mind clams. Oh, yeah.

Anyway, this is making me hungry. And we've got Claudia's credit card. So we're going to go out for dinner now. Oh, no. Hooray. Hooray. We'll be back in Auckland tomorrow. Let's go get seafood.

Because it's cheap. Let's go get a bag of seafood. Let's go get lobster because it's cheap. And Claudia, we don't want to spend all your money. See you guys. Bye guys. Get the full menu delivered to your door with the KFC app.
