Everyone wants to be seen to be environmentally conscious in our agricultural industry, but who is actually walking the walk? Not all suppliers of bale wrap into the NZ market participate in the collection and recovery of their plastic, leaving it to others to take care of. Can you be certain your supplier is also contributing to the cost of collection? Leave the right legacy for future farming generations. To find out if your supplier supports the Plasback scheme, head to plasback.co.nz.

You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brian Clint, the podcast. I'm having a party. A party for two. Hi, guys. No Ella today. She's got COVID- guys, no Ella today. She's got COVID-25, the new one. Yeah.

Next pandemic on the way. Bri and I were just talking about opening a bar. Did you know it was my dream for a long, long time to own a bar? I could see that, yeah. What kind of bar? Like a dive bar? No money. Like a karaoke bar?

There's no money in bars. Everybody tells you there's no money in bars. It's a money pit. You don't do it for the money, you do it for the love. Well, There's no money in bars. No money in bars. Everybody tells you there's no money in bars. It's a money pit. You don't do it for the money. You do it for the love. Well, that's what alcoholics say. Because if I owned a bar, if you owned a bar, if you owned a bar, you want to be in there making sure everything is happening the way you want it to happen.

Otherwise, what's the point? And what do you do when you're in the bar? You drink. I'd be a mystery shopper in my own bar every day. Yeah. They'd be like, oh, the boss Claudia is back. Nah, undercover boss style. No one knows who I am. They'd be like, oh, the boss Claudia's back. Nah, undercover boss style. No one knows who I am.

They'd be like, oh, the boss Claudia's wearing a moustache again. She does look good in it, though. Awful hours. Awful hours. I know a guy, very good DJ, mainly DJed in Hamilton, and he's like 30. Right. He has just, I stress this, very good DJ. And he's just retired from DJing altogether because the hours are too awful.

He goes, nah, I actually want to have a life and be healthy and see my partner and have some kids. Priorities have changed. Yeah. Yeah, but he's just going to stop doing the thing that he loves. I guess he doesn't love it that much. I feel like that happens a lot to chefs. Yeah.

Because chefs work shit hours. Shit hours, shit conditions. Usually split shift. You do the lunchtime shift and then you have a break and then you come back and do the nighttime shift. You're never there for dinner time. The thing that I find buzzy about being a chef is it's the same shit every day.

You cook the same stuff every day and you have to cook it perfect. Which I'm sure you would get down to a fine art but the repetition would drive me insane. It's like doing a radio show. You just do the same thing every day. It's like really every other job

where you pretty much do the same shit every day. It's like really every other job where you pretty much do the same shit. Every day. It's a very good point. It's a very good point. Every job has elements of that. I got into this job because I believe that we don't do the same shit every day. I know there's elements of the same shit every day. But really, we're a clean slate when we come in every day.

We're pretty lucky with what we do. Yeah, the world is our oyster. Yeah. Speaking of oysters. What? Bluff oyster season at the moment. Is it? Can I tempt you? Only if their oysters kill Patrick. Well, there's a bar

down in the Viaduct that'll do you a dozen. Oyster and chop? No, another one. Can they sell me one single oyster? Well, they're doing battered, deep fried bluff oysters. So kind of like your fish and chips. The fish, how it comes battered and fried. Yeah, just crispy.

Yeah, crispy on the outside, yeah. Are we all just pretending to like oysters? I like oysters. I've never tried one. Like, are we all just pretending, though? No, I like them. I pretended until I liked them. Yeah, I think so.

You just do one little gnash and then you swallow it. You have a little gnaw on the oyster. It goes in, you kind of roll it around in your mouth and then take it down. Yeah. You just swallowed spit then because it made you feel sick talking about it. No, I'm salivating because of how much I want some oysters. Bottle of champagne and some oysters. Claudia, can you call Clint's wife and warn her?

What? That I'm salivating? That he's after some oysters. Just so she can prepare and lock herself in the bathroom or something. No, you don't get... Just the way you're talking about it. Oh yeah, I want mine some oysters. They're meant to be an aphrodisiac and you're meant to get horny after you don't get. Just the way you're talking about it. Oh, yeah. I want mine some oysters. They're meant to be an aphrodisiac and you're meant to get horny

after you have the oysters. Yeah, so imagine what you'd be like after the oysters if you're talking like this now. Shall we go for oysters this Friday for our pub lunch? I want oysters Kilpatrick. I don't enjoy a raw. Let me see. What's a Kilpatrick. I don't enjoy a raw. Let me see. What's a Kilpatrick one?

Oysters Kilpatrick is pretty much you may as well not eat the oysters. It's like Worcestershire and barbecue and bacon bits on top of the oyster. That sounds like hell. It's so yum. No, it sounds yum. They are real yum. I'd rather eat them raw. Raw dog a day.

Yeah. Slip it down. Oysters. Do you put lemon on them? Shallots normally in vinegar. Like a vinaigrette. Sounds disgusting. A dozen bluff oysters, 30 bucks.

Damn. That's pretty good prices. You're only allowed to get one dozen per person. Yeah, that's good value, $30 for a dozen oysters. Do you want us to just come sit with you? And if you guys don't eat them, we could get three dozen oysters. And you could eat them. You just have to come, yeah.

It doesn't say how they serve them. That's natural, done natural. But I think they do deep fry them for you. Anyway, that's what I'm feeling like at the moment. But each to their own, okay? If you don't want to enjoy some delicious kaimoana with your friend Clint. Lucy, if you're listening to this, run, run now. She likes oysters.

Find shelter, Lucy. Change the locks. How many oysters is the most oysters you've eaten in one sitting? Oh, I don't think I've had a dozen to myself. To yourself. Yeah. I think I have. I've probably ordered a dozen with my wife, and I've had 10, and she's had two. Again, Lucy.

Which is how many she wanted. I would have had six, and then she would have been like, you finish them. And you're Again, Lucy. Which is how many she wanted. I would have had six and then she would have been like, you finish them. And you're like, okay. Nicki Minaj, pound me alive. Run now. Anyway. Put on a very responsible and comfortable shoe and make

your way to any exit you can find. We're going to do a photo shoot tomorrow, by the way. Oh, we do too. I reckon we're going to look hot. Can I challenge you both to like, can I give you a stupid pose? It's my first photo shoot with the middle part. Oh, yeah.

It was a big day for you. How fucking dated do the ones look now where you've got the side part? It looks so weird, doesn't it? Yeah, you look lopsided. There was a girl from marketing. There was a girl from marketing in there today when we were trying on stuff, like clothes for the shoot tomorrow. And she goes, I just sat here looking at you for 15 minutes

and I was wondering why you looked so different. Yeah, she's centered her hair. It does look very dated, doesn't it? Radio photo shoots are a whole thing. They bring in a stylist and a makeup artist. Are you happy with your clothes you're going to be wearing tomorrow? I think so. Yeah, you should be.

I think that was a good selection. Yeah. I didn't really get to see what – I got to see one cool shirt that was like textured of yours. It's a white shirt. Do you know the lady – because I tried on all the outfits. So did I. Including the stuff that some of the other gentlemen at the radio station refused to wear. They wouldn't let me try on the other girls' stuff.

Really? Well, I didn't ask, but I should have. Yeah, I said, show me the shit they wouldn't wear. Because she was like, oh, I thought they'd wear this. I said, no, let me see it. Oh, I should have asked for the other girls' stuff because there's at least one girl that we would wear the similar stuff. Anyway, I tried it all on.

And one of the girls, one of the stylists said to me, Claudia, because i was like oh this looks good this looks good this looks good when the stylist said you do realize that you look good in everything that you're trying on and i was like i can't believe she did it to us it was at that point that i could sense that there was less space in the room and i couldn't get my head out of the t-shirt I nearly suffocated in there There's no hats in this shoot right Because they're not going to fit

They tried to find beanies I said to them This outfit would look good with a beanie And they said I don't know if you could pull off a beanie Well the lady said to me No no you've got great hair don't cover it up Who is this woman

Probably not a beanie for you. No, I might be a beanie guy this winter. Do you reckon you could pull off a beanie? I don't. I genuinely don't. Beanies are hard to pull off. But do you know why I would wear one? It's one of the few clothing items that my wife says that I look good in.

So I'll wear it. Also, she says you look good. She will say, you look hot in a beanie. And I don't get that kind of compliment from my wife. Like, I got a compliment on a hat at the start of summer, and I have worn the shit out of that hat all summer. We will be the judge of the beanie. What type of beanie?

Probably like a fisherman beanie. I knew it was going to be a fisherman beanie. Just know when I'm wearing it, I ain't wearing it for you. Mate, I don't ever think he's wearing that for me. I've never once in my life thought, Clint, he's got that on for me. I think it's the opposite. That was a waste of money then. Do you think I'll...

That pair of overalls that I bought. I've never... You know, if you came in... That pair of men's dungarees that I bought. If you came in in a pair of dungungarees That I bought If you came in In a pair of dungarees Then I might think He's wearing those for me

Yeah Could you pull off A pair of dungarees Fuck no I would You might You know How do you

No ma'am How do you know Unless you cut wood Or work with I don't know Clay There's some Cool car heart

Overalls Yeah work wear For guys who cut wood Nah they're making Street wear now Yeah I saw this thing There's some cool Carhartt overalls. Yeah, workwear. Nah, they're making streetwear now. I saw this thing where these workmen were getting really angry at fashion guys because they're like, stop buying all the fucking Carhartt. It's driving the price up. We've got nothing to wear to work. Just go buy some hard yakka stuff.

Do you guys have that in New Zealand? Hard yakka, yeah. The big fluoro stuff. Yeah, get some tradie. Buy it, that'll do. That'll do. Bluff voices in a photo shoot. That's the title of this podcast, right?

Yeah. I wonder when the photos are coming out, but anyway, you heard it here first. New photos on the way. We look good. You heard it here first. New photos on the way. We look good. You heard it here first. Well, we don't know that yet, but we're assuming. Believe it to receive it.

Yeah. Oh, we look hot as. I'm having a party. A party for two. Do you catch many fish when you've got that beanie on? No, I'm more of an oyster fisherman. Okay, right.
