Hi everybody and welcome to the Brie and Clint show where Brie is deep in her DIY era.
You're googling how to tile a splash back.
Yeah, I think I'm at that point now where I've got enough confidence that's not warranted
that I'm going to tile my kitchen backsplash.
I mean, how hard could it be?
I like that you said you've got the confidence, not the experience, the confidence.
The unwarranted confidence.
To be fair, I've always looked at tiling, and no disrespect to our tilers who enjoy listening to the Brian Clint Show,
but I've always looked at tiling and gone, I reckon I could do that.
Yeah, look, I think what you're trying to say, Clint,
is, and I mean, I've done enough research,
is that tiling a shower, I couldn't do.
Oh, I couldn't do anything waterproofing, no.
Couldn't do, but also tiling a shower,
you have to get like the exact right run so it all goes into the drain.
But I mean, slapping a few tiles
on the back of the stove area,
I could do that.
Have you considered doing one of those just like lino rollout things
that looks like tiles?
Absolutely not.
You can buy those from Kmart.
They're like tile stickers.
It's like a tile sticker.
Yeah, no, mate.
I'm going to get the grout in there.
I need to get a wet saw so I can cut my tiles,
so I can fit it around a power outlet.
Mate, I'm all in.
Stay tuned.
Watch this space.
Based off what you've just heard,
if you are anyone in the tiling trade,
based off what you've just heard from Bree,
how confident from one to ten are you
that this kitchen splashback is going to look?
I'd love to hear.
Possible.
Yeah.
Tradies, do you think that I can do it?
I've also looked into this product called Musclebound,
which instead of using, you know, this stuff to stick the tiles on,
you just put it.
It's like a big sticker.
Oh, right.
Okay.
Yeah.
You can get it from Bunnings.
We're back to the big sticker.
No, no, no.
Might as well go to Kmart and get the tile sticker.
The sticker to stick actual tiles on.
Anyway.
We should get a tiler on for Tradie vs. Lady today.
Yes.
Maybe we can get someone through on 0800DIALZ Tyler on for Tradiverse Lady today. Maybe we can get
someone through on
0800 DIAL ZM to
win $50 cash next.
I'll ask him for
all these tips and
tricks.
Do that.
We're going to
play Tradiverse Lady
next.
We're going to
give away Macklemore
tickets at 3.30.
It's going to be a
good afternoon.
So if you're keen
to play with us,
give us a call now
on 0800 DIAL ZM.
Where my Tyler's
at?
Where my Tyler's
at?
Is Tyler Swift.
Bree and Clint, you're on ZM.
I like that.
That was good.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Nope, not time for a birthday banger.
Doing an early one.
Getting way ahead of myself.
It's time for Tradie vs. Lady.
It's Tradie vs. Lady.
Three, two, one, let's go.
Did we find a Tyler, producers?
No, Tyler's.
Close.
We'll let you know what our tradie is when he gets here.
They're hard workers, Tyler's.
They'd still be on the job.
Score update for the year for you.
The lady's just one point in front.
They're on six.
The tradie's on five.
Our tradie is from Matamata, the 26th.
And they are, I mean, it's close
to a Tyler. He's a beekeeper.
Welcome to the show, Josh.
G'day, Josh.
Hey, Josh. Is it true
that all the bees in
a hive are mostly female?
Oh, depends. Depends on the time of year.
Depends on the time of year.
But most of the time, it's all female bees, right?
Yeah, majority of them, yeah.
Yeah.
The question you had the other day when it was drones,
yeah, that is actually correct.
Yeah, right.
I thought so.
I mean, I went and did a beekeeping class.
It was quite fun.
Jeez, what can't you do?
Josh is taking on our lady today from Christchurch.
They're 20 years old and they've got four cats.
Welcome to the show, Kirsten.
Kirsten.
It's Kirsten.
Hi, Kirsten.
Hi, Kirsten.
What are the names of the cats?
I've got Midnight, DJ, Twilight and Milo.
Love it.
I like how there's a matching set.
Oh no, did we just lose?
We lost our beekeeper. Oh no.
Claudia, we've just lost our beekeeper.
Claudia. I think he's calling back.
Well, you didn't let me know that you could hear me.
There he is. He's back on.
Josh, we got him.
Hi Josh. There he is.
Okay, here we go guys.
Josh, your buzzer's trading. Kirsten, yours is lady.
First to three gets $50 cash from KFC.
Good luck.
Here we go, guys.
Question number one.
News out today.
James Shaw has resigned as the leader of which political party?
Lady.
Yes, Kirsten.
Is it the Green Party?
It is the Green Party.
Not the best time for the Green Party.
No, they're having a shocker.
In the last however long.
All right, one to the ladies.
Question number two.
How many times did Ross Geller get married on Friends?
Trady.
Yes, Josh.
Three.
That's on the money, Josh.
Nice work.
And he also got divorced three times.
Question number three.
Buzz in when you can tell me who sings this song.
And then I saw her face.
Lady.
Yes, Kirsten.
Meshmouth?
Well done.
Well done.
From a 20-year-old.
I'm impressed with that.
That's two.
Shrek.
Yeah, it's the Shrek song.
It is the Shrek song.
Shrek song.
Two to the ladies, one to the tradies.
You need this one, Josh, to stay in it.
Question number four.
Nori is which type of sushi ingredient?
God knows.
Have a guess.
Lady.
Yes, Kirsten.
Is it like salmon?
I mean, that's a great guess.
Josh, you want to guess?
What else is in sushi?
No. Chicken? No.
Chicken?
No.
It's actually seaweed.
No points there.
We're still two to the ladies, one to the tradies.
Question number five.
If you tipped 20% on a $15 bill, how much would the tip be?
Oh, don't give me no maths questions.
It's a hard one.
Lady?
Yes, Kirsten?
Would it be $3?
She's got it.
And that's the win.
She's a lady.
Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady.
We've done Josh's two enemies, maths and sushi.
Yeah, maths and sushi.
Yeah, miss me on that.
I would have been the exact same as you, Josh.
But, Kirsten, I'm very impressed, and you're the winner today,
giving you $50 cash.
Awesome.
Thank you, guys.
No worries.
Bree and Clint.
Guys, it's not too far away now, Valentine's Day.
Two weeks?
We two weeks out-ish?
Two weeks on Thursday.
Two and a bit.
Yeah.
Two and a bit weeks.
And it's always, I guess, the conversation.
Is it a conversation in a relationship where you're like,
are we doing anything for Valentine's Day?
I think at the early stages of the relationship it is a conversation.
Yeah, because you don't know.
What if the other person's like, no, I don't do that stuff,
and then you're like, sweet.
It's a good chance to find out.
And this is when you know you've struck gold.
If the person you're dating goes, I hate Valentine's Day, you go, you're like sweet it's a good chance to find out and this is when you know you've struck gold if the person you're dating goes i hate valentine's day you go you're a keeper
no i disagree with you i disagree i think it's when they match up with how you feel
oh okay yep that's when that's when you know i feel like it's how do you feel about valentine's
day i take it or leave it i don't mind going out for like a nice meal or...
Worst day of the year to go out for a meal, Valentine's Day.
Well, that's the thing.
And to be honest, my partner and I, we normally do something not on Valentine's Day,
but we'll like make an effort to do something that we normally wouldn't do,
like go out for something to eat or go to the movies or whatever.
But I saw this article and they were talking about how much you should spend
based on a survey they did where they asked people,
how much do you spend on your partner?
How much you should spend based on how much everyone else is spending.
Yeah, like the average.
Yeah.
The average because I feel like if you are someone that's buying a present,
maybe this is information you want to know.
Maybe it's not.
Producer Claude doesn't.
You always get caught in the trap, don't you, Claude?
Yeah, I always just assume that we're not doing it
and then I get surprised with something like really thoughtful.
How many times have you been surprised though?
Probably at least three.
You should know now.
I know. It's been fun
watching Claudia try to make her
grudge purchase for Valentine's Day.
She's like, oh, it has to be good, but I don't know what to
bloody get it. I don't know what restaurant to go to.
It's really difficult. My partner
doesn't like sweet things and has hay fever
so I can't do flowers or chocolate.
A nice meal. It's easy.
Yeah, but then everyone's out.
Yes, to do what my partner and I do.
Just book it like a day after or on the weekend of.
Just call up during Let's Get Classical and win some KFC chicken dollars.
That's a great gift.
I'd be really good at that game, I have a feeling.
I feel like you might be.
How much are people spending on Valentine's Day?
So it says here that, well, one in ten stated that they were more stressed about the cost of Valentine's Day than their job at the moment.
Okay.
But the average Valentine's Day spend is around $150.
Oof.
Is that just for a gift?
Including dinner.
I reckon that's all.
That's like dinner and drinks, right?
All up.
That's all up.
That's a lot.
That's a lot of money.
Can I just check?
We're spending more on the birthday than on Valentine's, right?
Absolutely, in my opinion.
And where does Christmas fall on that spending list?
In the middle?
For me, it would go birthday, top.
Birthday's top, Christmas, Valentine's.
So $150 on Valentine's is at the bottom of fourth.
Wait, where does anniversary go in there as well?
Above Christmas.
Anniversary above Christmas?
Nah, anniversary's like down the bottom.
Easter.
How much chocolate do you buy?
Easter's at the bottom, bottom.
It says here though, quite interesting,
the data said that people who have been together for one to two years
are most likely to spend the most.
Yes, I agree with that.
Often dropping about $250 on Valentine's Day,
whereas those in shorter-term relationships spend about $180.
What about those people who are still in the dog box for something that they did over the
Christmas New Year period?
What's the average amount that they spend on Valentine's Day?
Yeah, it says here to times it by four.
And no guarantee that you're out of the dog box.
Exactly.
We don't play much of them on ZM, but are you familiar with the band Disturbed?
Yes, I am. The heavy metal band Disturbed? Yes, I am.
The heavy metal band Disturbed?
Yes, I am.
I do know Disturbed.
You'll know this song right here by Disturbed.
This is the funniest song.
If you don't know them, they're a heavy metal band. And that made the news because the singer from Disturbed,
David Drayman,
David Drayman,
which is a hard name to say for some reason,
has stood up for Taylor Swift at a Disturbed concert.
Ooh, what's happened?
It's actually really cool.
So he has got two dads who have brought their 12-year-old daughters
to the Disturbed show up on stage
I'm not sure why he got them up on stage
but he got them up and he was talking to them
in front of the crowd, it's a sold out show
in Illinois, have a listen to this
what happens here and what's not immediately
obvious is when he mentions
Taylor Swift, a bunch of people
start booing, heavy metal fans
start booing just the idea
of Taylorlor swift have
a listen to this clip here i take it that you came to the disturbed concert as opposed to the
taylor swift concert means that your parents are lazy on rock and roll hey don't forget taylor
still kicks ass yeah okay no she does you Don't you boo her.
I will stand up and applaud any pop artist that gets up on stage and sings live and plays the guitar live in front of a whole group of thousands of girls and guys, young fans.
Don't talk about Taylor Swift she's for real and she's making sure
that an entire generation
of new music fans
understand what it means
to actually play music live
isn't that cool
yeah good on him
to see
it's always the same though
I feel like when people reach
a certain level of fame
or success
people just want to cut them down
totally
and it becomes cool to hate something that's super popular.
Yes.
And it's cool to see like someone from, you know,
obviously a very different genre of music.
A completely different musical realm.
Being like, wait a second.
Yeah.
Like you need to respect what she does.
Like very cool of him.
And what she represents for young people too yeah because and
he's right she writes her own music she is a big part of like producing it she sings it live
she's so successful and she seems like a pretty good person too so she's a great she is a great
role model like whether you love her music or not it's sort of beside the point at this stage right
and i know we're at peak Taylor Swift.
I know the saturation levels of Taylor music and news.
Oh, mate, this isn't peak.
You don't reckon this is peak?
Nah, imagine when me, producer Claude and producer Ella,
when we all come back from going to the Errors Tour,
it's going to be full on.
But I see it.
I see my two daughters who are only two and four watching the Errors Tour on TV and the Errors Tour, it's going to be full on. But I see it. I see my two daughters who are only two and four
watching the Errors Tour on TV and the Reputation Tour.
They are just completely mesmerised by her and what she does
and everything that goes on on that stage
in a way that they're not with other acts.
Like they love The Wiggles, for example,
but they're not transfixed in the way that you are
with a show like that
so
pretty amazing
if you want to see that clip
it's on TikTok
just search
disturbed
Taylor Swift
and it'll come up
disturbed Taylor Swift
disturbed Taylor Swift
yep
that's exactly what you need to do
yeah
Bree and Clint
let's get classical
let's get classical
go
every time every time hey Goal!
Every time.
Every time.
Hey, hey, this is a fun game that you can play along with us.
Claudia has taken big ZM songs and she's put them into a classical format.
It's a fun game.
The trick of the game is trying to recognise what that song is without the drums and without the vocalist on there
and done in a classical way.
It's quite
hard sometimes i feel like some songs are quite easy and maybe that that's because the melody's
super recognizable like so recognizable and then other songs it's quite hard and they go really
whimsical with the violin i struggle but um claudia puts it together and she does great work hi claudia
i think i've got a mix of songs
for you today. Is it hard
or is it just hard for us?
Ella made it look really easy last week.
This is the thing, right?
Remember it was you and I versus Ella.
That's right. Am I playing again? Do you want to do that again?
Are you kicking me out? Let's take it down.
Here's the thing. Let's put her in her
place, Clint. Did you learn an instrument
growing up? Yeah, kind of.
You can play piano, can't you?
Oh, no.
You can play guitar.
Yeah, I can play guitar.
I did piano last year.
You know chords and stuff, eh?
No, I don't.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I did at least two and a half years on the old saxophone.
What?
Have I never told you that?
I was horrendous.
Okay, Claudia, book in a special saxophone concert for three months' time.
Absolutely.
Holy hell.
Breeze, we'll call it Breeze, Sexy Autumn Mixup.
Oh, my God.
You organise that at a nice bar in town.
I've got trauma from how many wood reeds I broke on that saxophone.
And, yeah, let's go ahead to him with Ella.
You two versus Ella? Us him with Ella. Yay!
You two versus Ella.
Us two versus Ella.

Rattle.
Okay.
That's cool.
I've done one TikTok dance in 12 months and it was that song.
How did I not get it?
Yeah, that one was you.
That's all right.
We need to regroup, regroup.
Deep breaths, guys.
Just be calm.

They sit out there in the producer's booth together.
Claudia's finding the songs and then Claudia goes,
Hey Ella.
No.
That was too quick.
That was stolen from us.
Storm the Capitol.
Play how much you played and let me see if I can even hear it.
I feel like it was not even a second.
Okay, this is how much Scott played.
Easy, guys.
No, no way.
No way.
Wait, I can tell when Ella's lying.
Hold on, ready?
I'm not lying.
Ella?
Yeah?
Did you cheat?
No.
I would never.
No, genuinely.
I was out getting my hair done today.
Like, I was not here as she was loading it in.
I'm just better at this than you.
Do you think she's lying?
Nah, annoyingly,
I think she's telling the truth.
Next week.
It's our week.
It's our week next week.
Brian Clint.
Are you buying me lunch on Friday?
We're back after this with Becky Hill.
Don't push it.
Brian Clint.
She's just wrapped up
a Kiwi summer.
She has played Rhythm and Vines
and she's played
Golden Lights Festival
and now she's back with brand new music.
Please welcome to the show one of our
faves. It's Becky Hill.
Thank you for having me.
What a lovely intro.
Oh Becky, you have no idea
I'm fizzing from the rear
that you're here. I think you
should go and have that checked out. I would
too. I've got it booked in for next week.
Mate, you are one of my all-time favourites.
I've followed you for years and years.
I was at Golden Lights.
It was one of the best days of my holidays.
You are a staple here in New Zealand.
What was it like getting to play in front of the Kiwi crowds?
You know, I think it's mad that you can take a plane flight
for 26 hours onto the other side of the world
and you can have a crowd reaction like that.
Like, I've never been here before.
You know, I've never played any festivals or any kind of shows.
So it was really beautiful to turn up and to have the welcome that I did.
And I don't think I'll ever really forget it.
A lot of Kiwis learnt about you for the first time through Afterglow.
It's the unofficial anthem here in New Zealand.
Did you have any idea it was as big here in New Zealand as it is
before you got here?
I'd heard that it was the New Zealand unofficial national anthem.
Yeah.
But I didn't quite realise how many drum and bass DJs
had been going over there and playing it and making a load of money when I was set up.
Rough news.
I'm glad I got over there.
I was like, damn, you boys have been cleaning up.
I think Wilkinson has booked five Rhythm and Vine's
headline sets off that song alone.
I think you're right.
I think Wilkinson's manager said,
do you want to take it out of your set
and sing it with Wilkinson?
I was like, are you mad?
I've never been there before.
I've never sang Afterglow.
It's the unofficial national anthem.
There is no way I'm taking it out of my set.
Good on you.
One of my favourite things about you, mate,
is that you write a lot of your own songs, most of your own songs.
The new song, Never Be Alone, I'm obsessed with it already.
I have heard that you were planning on writing a song about your dog, Piggy.
Is this the song that's about Piggy?
No, because she's been alone for the last month,
thanks to you guys.
Thanks to us.
What's the song about?
Can you tell us a bit about it?
Yeah, so me and Karen Paulul we wrote it when um i was it was around the pandemic and
actually i was asking people to send me i was asking a couple of producers to send me some
instrumentals because i was bored and i hadn't written any music for a while so mark sent me
the original instrumental i went over to karen's house and we wrote Never Be Alone on one day and we wrote Work by Alesso and Zara Larson on the other day.
Far out.
That's a productive day.
I don't know what was in our coffee those days.
And on the third day, Becky Hill rested.
Listen, Becky Hill never rests.
You've just done a Kiwi summer and now you're an Aussie.
Bree's an Aussie.
I'm a Kiwi.
Who do you like better, Kiwis or Aussies?
Who are the looser crowds, the Aussies or the Kiwis?
I would have to give it to the Aussies, I think.
Really?
Yes.
Is that a good thing?
I thought we were a shoo-in for that, but okay.
We do the shoo-ees.
And you do the shoo-ees.
Have you been forced to do a shoo-ee yet?
Darling, you would never catch me doing a shoo-ee.
Thank God.
Good for you, by the way,
because a lot of people succumb to the peer pressure
of a dirty shooie out of the crowd.
I knew you were too ladylike for that.
Yes, thank you, darling.
Well, we're stoked that you have new music out.
We're stoked that you're on the ZN playlist currently,
and it was epic to have you here in New Zealand over summer.
So thanks so much, and hopefully we do see you again soon. Well, thank
you so much and thank you so much for supporting my
new single, Never Be Alone. It really means
a lot that I'm like out here
and like being played with you guys and thank you so
much for giving me the time to speak to you guys.
This is really great for me.
So thank you so much. Mate, this has been
such a big one for me. I've loved
you for so long, mainly because of
how amazing of a musician you are,
but just because you're a good bitch.
So we appreciate your time.
And come back and see us.
Yes, mate.
Good bitch.
What a GB.
Thanks, Becky.
How good to talk to you.
See you, mate.
Bye.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
Bree and Clint.
All I want for my birthday is a birthday banger.
Here we go.
Birthday banger time for a Tuesday.
You call us, tell us your birthday.
We tell you your birthday banger, the number one song when you turn 16.
Easy as that.
Let's go to Tui first.
I know $800 is at him.
Hi, Tui.
Hi, Tui.
Hi.
How are you going?
I'm pretty good.
Whereabouts in the country are you, Tui?
Wellington.
Oh, lovely.
It's my daughter's name, and I just realised that when I said,
hi, Tui, to you I used the same voice that I speak to my four-year-old daughter with.
I noticed it as well.
I just went to breeze over it.
It kind of happened subconsciously.
Are you five as well, Tui?
Absolutely, yeah.
We're about to find out.
What's your birthday, mate?
March 12th, 2003.
Alright, that means you were 16
in 2019. She's an old five-year-old.
And Tui,
this is your birthday banger.
What a tune.
Jo Bros and Sucker.
Do you like it?
Are you going to see the Jonas Brothers when they come here?
Not that big.
I didn't know they were.
Not that big a fan.
So not a super fan, but that song was a massive comeback for the Jonas Brothers.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, wait there, Tui.
We're going to do a birthday banger for Andy.
Hi, Andy.
G'day, Andy.
How you going?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Yeah, very good, thanks.
Good to hear.
Have you been waiting a while to find out your birthday banger?
It's been a few years.
Well, let's hope it doesn't disappoint you.
What's your birthday?
24th of February, 1984.
All right, Andy.
That means you were 16 in the year 2000.
24th of Feb 2000.
This was at the top.
What a great birthday banger.
God, I like this song.
Macy Gray and I Try.
Huge.
What do you reckon, Andy?
Yeah, no.
Pretty good tune.
One of those
instantly recognisable voices.
Yeah.
Just iconic.
Okay, wait there.
We've got to do one more birthday banger for Rachel.
Kia ora, Rachel.
Hello there, Rachel.
Hi.
How are you going?
Good, mate.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
What's your birthday, Rach?
I'm the 3rd of June, 1974.
Right, Rachel.
That means you were 16 in the year 1990.
And, Rachel, this is your birthday banger.
Some day somebody's going to make you want to turn around and say goodbye.
Until then, baby.
What a banger, Rach.
What a banger.
It's a good sing-along one.
Do you remember the hold-on from Wilson Phillips?
It had a resurgence because it was used in the Bridesmaids film.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was a good one.
Tune.
Okay, Rach, we're going to choose between Wilson Phillips,
Macy Gray and the Jonas Brothers.
Hold on for one more day.
That is a great song, but I'm voting for Macy Gray.
I'll go with you, although I would love to play Wilson Phillips.
It's so close on the Wilson Phillips.
It's just not quite.
But I feel like I need to get back into Ross's good books.
Oh, are you playing it safe?
Yeah.
Okay, so we're locking.
Well, I'm not playing it safe because I like them both equally.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
So we've locked it in.
We've locked in Macy Gray.
Yes.
Let's just find out what would happen if we did go to a split vote.
So if I had chosen Macy Gray and Bree had chosen Wilson Phillips,
Claudia, what would you have done with the split vote?
That's an excellent question.
Wilson Phillips.
Oh, God!
I went with Macy Gray because I thought Claudia wouldn't choose her.
Andy, you just won birthday banger.
Congratulations.
I think that was by the skin of my teeth too.
Yeah, sounds like it.
Just by the skin of your teeth
Brian Clint, ZM
ZM, Brian Clint, the winner of Birthday Banger today
Clint was just doing a great Macy Gray impression.
Show everyone.
Oh, wasn't that good?
It was very good.
Yeah, go on.
Let the people hear your gift.
Here is my confession.
I'll be your possession.
It sounded better with the music underneath it.
You need a smoker pack first. Boy, I need your possession. It sounded better with the music underneath it. You need a smoker pack first.
Boy, I need your touch.
Try to look away.
Try to say goodbye and not joke.
Now you just sound like one of Homer's sisters from The Simpsons.
Now I've got my confidence up.
Try to walk away and not.
Okay, I'll stop.
This is a wild dog story.
And listen up, dog owners, okay?
Because this could be the future for you.
This is a story out of Bolzano.
What did you get in your throat that time?
I've got some Bolzano stuck in my throat.
Bolzano.
This is a town in northern Italy.
Okay.
Dog owners in this town in northern Italy
have been ordered to have their dog's DNA registered.
So when their dog's poo is found on the side of the road,
the council workers can take a sample of it,
cross-reference it with the DNA database
and find out whose dog it is that did the poo
and then fine the owner for not picking up the poo.
I've heard about this.
I think, did you remember a story years ago
that we talked about where there was a property owner
who, to find out who was getting their dog pooing in their yard,
they DNA tested it, remember?
Yeah, but you have to have the DNA of the dog to match it with.
Yeah.
And up until now, no one's had that because there's no DNA database for dogs.
But you have to do it over there.
And they're fine if they find the poo.
Yeah, what's the fine?
If they find the poo on the side of the road,
the fine ranges in New Zealand dollars from $90 up to
$900. In New Zealand?
In New Zealand dollars. Right. Okay.
Yeah, right. I don't know what the fine is.
Actually, I don't know what the fine is in New Zealand for not picking up
dog poo. Producer Claude, can you Google that?
If you get caught not picking up
your poo? Yeah. I mean, dog poo?
Dog poo? Different if it's
your poo. I feel like it's a bigger fine.
It'll be different council to council, won't it?
What have you got, Claude?
I've got the Timaru District Council.
Okay, that's a good barometer.
$300?
$300?
$300?
From $90 to $900 in Bolzano.
That's a big range.
Also, a $2,000 fine if they find out you haven't DNA registered your dog.
That's how seriously they're taking this thing.
That's how sick of poo, dog poo, on the streets they are over there.
They must have a real problem with people not picking up the poo
if they're going to all that trouble because it would cost a lot of money.
Pick up poo?
Yeah.
Oh, to do the DNA thing?
Yeah.
Like they're obviously, you know, like it's a big thing. They're just really sick of it like if they're willing to dna test a bunch of poos that's like you know
taxpayer money god there's nothing worse than stepping in a dog shit oh my god and why how
come you can't smell it sometimes until you stand in it and then the second you stand in it it
releases the odor yeah it's like a bomb that has gone off. Can I just say, and I might be, oh, no, I shouldn't say that.
What?
I always think to myself, and I think it's good karma
because I am someone who always picks up my poo.
Dog's poo.
Dog's poo.
Sorry, I keep doing that.
In my own poo.
Like if I do a dump in public.
On the off chance. If you catch me doing a dump in public. On the off chance.
If you catch me doing a dump in public, you bet I will pick it up.
But I have never in the whole time that I've owned dogs,
so I go to dog parks, I walk around areas where lots of dogs are.
Oh, should I say it?
I feel like I'm going to jinx myself.
You've never stood in a dog poo?
Never.
Really?
Jeez. That's good odds, isn't poo? Never. Really? Mm. Jeez.
That's good odds, isn't it?
Yeah, that's really good.
That's good karma because I pick up my dog's poo.
Yeah, maybe that's what it is.
Yeah.
Maybe the poo fairies are looking at me.
The poo fairies.
Look, I know this is taboo,
but there are people out there who don't pick up their dog's poo.
And I wonder, I wonder if any of those people are willing to call us
this afternoon on 0800
dial ZM and admit
to us that you're like
yuck, I'm not picking that up.
I'm above that.
I am not gonna stop
bend down and pick up
a hot turd when I'm out
on a walk. They're always warm too.
It's on the grass. It'll bi warm too. It's on the grass.
It'll biodegrade.
It's not my problem, that poo, okay?
We can keep you anonymous if you're willing to call in and admit to us.
Yeah, well, they're anonymous.
I'd love to talk to these people and understand where you're coming from.
Yeah, why don't you?
Let's not make it a blame game thing.
Let's keep your name out of it and just do it anonymously.
Yeah, why don't you pick up your dog's poo?
We want to hear the reasoning.
Or maybe you walk your cat.
Yeah.
Maybe you don't pick up your cat's poo.
I've got a cat, and I would say cat shit is worse than dog shit.
I agree.
It's so toxic.
It's just so rank.
It's come from the depths of hell.
It's always running.
Is that right?
Nah, they do little logs.
Do they?
This is disgusting.
0800-DARLS-ZM or text us on 9696 if you're not willing to talk on the radio.
But can we get someone on here this afternoon who's willing to admit
they don't pick it up?
Don't pick it up.
When the dog does it, they don't pick it up.
Bree and Clint.
Listen up, dog people.
The future could be a DNA register under which they have your
dog's DNA registered
and every time it does a poo that doesn't get picked
up, they do a little swabby of that poo
and then they find out who it is and then the police
show up to your house
with the poo and they're like
tell you off. You're under arrest.
We've got the poo and it's're under arrest. We've got the poo.
Yeah.
And it's a DNA match.
We've got the evidence and it stinks.
Where is the culprit?
We're going to take them to doggie prison.
So we want to know, are you someone who's willing to admit they do not pick up their dog's poos?
Like this person on the text machine.
Poo fertilises the grass.
So if anything, I'm doing nature a favour by not picking it up.
I love this text.
I have trained my dog to do aqua poos in the sea when I take it to the beach.
So no picking up for me.
That's genius.
Aqua poo.
What would you rather do?
Would you rather stand in a poo and get some of it on your foot?
Yeah. Or be swimming along in the ocean and a dog floaty goes into your mouth?
Well, it's a lot less likely for the dog floaty thing to happen.
Is it?
It's a gigantic sea.
Like, we've all done a poo in the sea.
It was... Yes, we have.
Have you guys done that?
Oh, no.
Snap poll.
So you're a yes.
Yes, I will go on the record.
Claudia?
No.
Ocean poo?
Definitely not.
No, they're called aqua poos.
Aqua poo?
No.
No.
Ella?
No, but I want to.
Yes, Ella, my spirit animal.
All right.
You two can go to the beach together.
Mate, mate.
Me and Claudia will go somewhere else.
There is plenty of people out there that would have had to do an emergency CP.
I'm sure there is.
We'll do that topic tomorrow.
Right now we're asking, do you not pick up your dog poos?
That was a bad time, to be honest.
Let's go to Anonymous on 0800 ZMI Anonymous.
Hi, Anonymous.
Hi, hi, hi.
Two questions, two questions, two questions.
Have you ever done a poo in the sea?
No, I have not.
But have you thought about doing it yourself?
No, actually, I have not.
Yep.
Yeah. Okay. Yep. Yep.
Okay.
Oh no.
That's one from five.
I will admit that I am one of them
that does not pick up the poo.
Okay, you don't pick up your dog's poos.
Why, Anonymous?
No.
Well, I live right behind the beach
and I walk her every day
and most of the beach surroundings
is covered by our own poop
that come out of the pipes from our house. So I let my dog poop on the beach surroundings is covered by our own poop that come out of the pipes
from our house. So I let my dog
poop on the beach, anywhere,
around the beach. It's like a revenge
poo. Yeah, okay.
Where's this place where the beach
is all covered in poos? Where do you live?
Oh, Mission Bay.
Are you sure?
Yeah, any inner city Auckland beach.
Okay, Anonymous, brave.
I mean, good for you for being honest.
Thank you, we appreciate it.
A lot of people saying that they don't pick up the poos
when it's runny or diarrhea.
I know this is gross, but they're saying that's when.
And to be honest, it is very hard because I've been in that situation.
Well, it's not hard, but it is very hard to pick up a runny poo.
It's just not possible.
Someone said, my dog gets such bad anxiety when she goes out that she does diarrhea.
There's no way I'm bending down to pick that up. Your dog is doing anxiety diarrhea every
time you take it out for a walk?
Some dogs have anxiety about things that they see on walks. Someone said, Bree, no, we haven't all pooed in the sea.
And then someone else texted and said,
aqua poo, most satisfying poo you can do.
So I rest my case.
They are out there.
Did you text that?
I'm going to put my phone away.
This text is good.
Someone said, I once hit a person up about away. This text is good. Someone said,
I once hit a person up about not picking up their dog poo.
And they said,
I don't use single-use plastic.
I told them to buy biodegradable bags.
And they said,
it's still plastic.
And I said,
so you're just going to leave it there? And they said,
yup,
mother effers.
I'd be so ropeable at effers. I'd be so
ropeable at that too. I'd be
livid. So they're just
choosing to not do it.
There's a lot of text. No, Bree,
poo in the ocean is not okay.
Someone
said, apparently my wife had a poo in the
river when she was nine years old.
I'm just finding out myself now
and I'm just as surprised as you.
Bree and Clint.
To all the people who are texting in to support Bree in her ocean post,
she doesn't need it.
I appreciate you.
I see you, friends.
Someone said, I mean, fish poo in the ocean all the time.
Imagine a whale's poo.
It would be much bigger than Bree's poo.
Depends on the day.
I need to talk about this TikTok that I saw on Jessica Biel's TikTok.
Oh, yeah.
Which Jessica Biel on 7th Heaven and she was in a bunch of movies.
Jessica Biel.
Oh, no.
Am I saying it right?
I'm saying it right.
I'm trying to remember which one Jessica Biel is. She's married to Justin Timberlake.
That one. Super hot. I was thinking of Jessica Alba for a second. Yeah it right. I'm trying to remember which one Jessica Biel is. She's married to Justin Timberlake. That one.
Super hot.
I was thinking of Jessica Alba for a second.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Well, same era.
Anyway, she was in a bunch of-
And Jessica Simpson.
Oh, yeah.
Same era.
Look at Jessica's aim.
But Jessica Biel has posted a TikTok where she's talked about something that she does
in her life that she wants to normalize.
Take a listen.
I've never tried an orange in the shower.
It was recommended to me.
And so I'm about to give it a go.
Keep your mouth closed.
Water.
It's good.
Is it the best I've ever had?
I don't know.
But the taste is really good.
Thank you for the recommendation.
I'd love more.
Sending my way.
Sorry, can you please clarify, what is Jessica Biel doing in the shower?
She's eating an orange in the shower.
Ah.
I think it's been a bit of a series where she talks about how she loves to eat and drink in the shower. She says that she'll eat everything from cereal to
yogurt, coffee, tea, popsicles. And she said, you know,
if anything drops, you're safe. Orange, very messy. Great place to
eat it. Yeah. The shower, great place to... Exactly. Like, no mess.
Is she in the shower in that video? She's in the shower. Like...
Stop trying to find the video.
Well, no, I'm just wondering.
No, no, no, you can't see anything.
Oh, okay.
No, no, no, you can't see anything.
But it gave me this great idea from this pop track that you might recognise.
You remember the song from Becky G, Shower?
Yeah, I do.
Where she talks about how she loves singing in the shower?
Yeah.
Well, I've done a little remix based on what Jessica Biel says
is the right thing to do in the shower.
You want to take a listen?
Yeah.
Okay, let's have a listen.
You ask me how
You're the reason why
I'm dancing in the mirror,
drinking in the shower,
eating in the shower,
pooing in the shower.
Should we do that one again? I think you took it a bit farther. No, but she said she was eating in the shower. Should we do that one again?
I think you took it a bit far there.
No, but she said she was eating in the shower and then, you know.
How long is she actually in the shower for?
Well, I guess, yeah, with water restrictions and.
I mean, digestion takes what?
Six to eight hours to the average human being?
I think you're just being a bit silly.
Fine, okay.
Roll it.
Pooing in the shower. Perfect. That was perfect. roll it perfect
that was perfect
what is wrong
with you today
I
the timing
of this
creative piece
of content
couldn't have come
at a worse time
after I
just said
people don't understand
that was recorded
three hours ago
and the spontaneous
poo in the ocean
conversation happened like six minutes ago.
I wasn't meant to drop that bombshell.
Literally.
I was going to say, you could have chosen better words.
Oh, this has worked out really bad for me.
I put in some effort into that idea and then it's come at a bad time because I've just talked about pooing in the ocean.
Oh, no.
I reckon we ban this topic from the show for the rest of the week.
Yeah, I think, to be honest.
I reckon we're over our quota.
To be honest, for the rest of the month, even too much for me.
What do you think of the song?
It was nice.
Okay, cool.
Nice vocals, yeah.
Horrible visuals, but good pitch.
Bree and Clint.
Can I ask for some help from, well, you
guys specifically, but also people listening
for a second? It is
my sixth wedding
anniversary this Friday. Congrats.
Lucy and I have been married for six years.
Seven year itch.
You've got one good year left.
Make it count.
Does that still count in the marriage? I don't
know. Well, I think we're 10 years into the relationship.
I think it's, I think the seven year itch is, is it marriage or is it just overall?
Yeah, I think it's overall.
We would have had our seven year itch during COVID.
Oh, bad time to have it.
God, everybody had the itch during then, but you just.
Didn't we?
You legally couldn't leave.
So that's what got us through.
Thanks, Auntie Cindy.
Now our sixth wedding anniversary. And so I what got us through. Thanks, Auntie Cindy. Now, our sixth wedding anniversary,
and so I'm thinking about a gift and what to get.
I do like that there is like a traditional gift,
and you don't have to do it,
but it's a good like thought starter
for what gift you would get somebody.
What is six years?
What do they say?
I'm glad you asked.
The traditional symbol to mark six years of marriage.
Iron.
Oh.
Symbolises strength and the irrevocable bond between a married couple.
Iron.
Now, I'm just going to go through some things I won't get her.
You could get her an Iron Man figure.
Oh, I didn't think about an Iron Man figurine.
Yeah.
She'd hate that though, so no.
Iron Man on DVD.
Oh, no, she'd hate that as well.
The big friendly Iron Man giant.
What's that movie called?
The Iron Giant.
Iron Giant.
Has she seen that film?
I don't know, but...
You could rent it for her.
Can I give you some things that I've written off the list?
Okay.
An iron.
Oh, man. No, great. I mean, I've written off the list? Okay. An iron. Oh, man.
No, great.
I mean, I'm just canvassing the room, ladies.
Not a great...
Not...
Not the ideal wedding gift, an iron?
Probably not.
Not even funny.
Maybe next year.
Unless she's after one.
Is it funny to get her...
No.
Oh.
An ironing board?
No.
No, I was going to say, like, get her a real gift,
but put it inside an iron box.
I think it depends... Like a box from an iron from Kmart.
I think it depends on the person you're giving it to.
And I can't imagine your wife Lucy being like, hilarious, Clint's so funny.
I feel like this might be in the same realm.
But is it slightly more thoughtful?
What if I get her a cast iron pan?
Yeah, they're cool and expensive.
But is it taboo to buy your wife a frying pan for her anniversary?
I feel like I've got one of those pans
and they say you pass it down from generation to generation.
Lovely gift.
Isn't it weird?
Aren't gender norms weird?
I feel like it would be okay for her to buy me a cast iron pan.
But it's inappropriate for a man to buy a woman a frying pan
for the anniversary.
Doesn't scream romance.
He likes cooking though, you know? anniversary. Doesn't scream romance. Nah.
He likes cooking, though.
You know?
No, don't lead him astray.
Don't do that.
Yeah, no, I know what you're saying.
I would like one, you know?
Bots and pans are out.
Bots and pans are out.
Okay, fine.
What about a curling iron?
Iron anniversary, what about a curling iron?
Oh, that's not bad.
She doesn't curl her hair.
No.
Oh, well, probably not then.
What can I get? What can I get?
What can I get?
What can I get for the Iron Anniversary?
I just Googled things made of iron.
You could buy her a truck.
She would love a Ford Ranger Raptor.
Okay, yeah, a truck.
Or some rebar.
What's that?
Rebar?
Oh, the steel to reinforce concrete.
What the heck? I took the liberty of asking AI for some suggestions for you
because I'm a good friend.
Thank you, I appreciate that, yeah.
Some of the suggestions from, and this is serious,
it says here, a silly couple's mug set.
Okay, thanks.
Another suggestion from AI, quirky board game. Okay. Thanks. Another suggestion from AI.
Quirky board game.
Jeez.
Okay.
Yeah.
His and her funny socks.
Is this just anniversary gifts, not specifically six anniversaries?
No, I specifically put in six years.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
And the last one, which is my favourite, which I think you should go with, a caricature of you and her.
With the big heads and we're in the little race cars.
And this is the AI we're scared is coming to take all of our jobs.
I think we're safe.
I think we're good for a little bit longer.
What crappy suggestions.
Brian Clint.
Do we all know the name Jay Shetty?
Is he the monk who does like the self-help stuff?
He's a former monk.
He's not a monk anymore.
He calls himself a lifestyle expert.
Yeah, I got his book on Audible.
Oh, did you?
It was called Live Like a Monk or something.
He's quite intense, but some of the stuff he says, not too bad.
Can you imagine, maybe all monks.
But he just talks with so much intensity.
And then they put that music behind and you're like,
oh, this guy means business.
Imagine if all monks are that intense, they just can't talk.
Maybe.
God, imagine if they broke their vow of silence.
Could be.
He recently was on a podcast.
Actually, I think this was from last year,
but this clip has since gone viral recently on TikTok
where he's talking about what he reckons is a massive,
massive red flag in a lot of people's relationships.
Take a listen.
Most of us only do one thing with our partners
and it's watching TV.
And that is the lowest form of intimacy that you could possibly
ask for with any human being. If you and I watch TV together for 200 hours a year, we would
potentially be no closer than we were before. I have this pyramid of intimacy and entertainment
on the lowest rung of the ladder, but that's what the majority of couples are doing. So if we're
only watching TV together,
I promise you that relationship is not growing.
It's actually falling apart slowly and you have no idea.
Get off my back, Jay Shetty.
God, mate.
Get off my back.
Don't take away the one joy in my life.
I was on board with him.
Like, I get it.
I understand we're not bonding while we're watching TV.
But I... I disagree. My wife're not bonding while we're watching TV. But I...
I disagree.
My wife's my favourite person to watch TV with.
But...
Because you don't talk to each other.
Yeah.
I was fine with it until the end where he goes,
the relationship is slowly falling apart.
What a crock of bull crap.
Honestly.
It happens...
I feel like a lot of relationships...
Like, I do get it. I feel like I do of relationships, like I do get it.
I feel like I do get what he's saying.
Do I think it's the beginning of the end for all relationships?
No, I don't.
And do I think that watching TV, you can grow as a couple?
Yeah, my partner and I love watching certain shows together
and then we'll talk about them and then we'll, you know, like certain things
and then you can have stuff to talk about.
Also, at the end of a long day, especially
if you've got kids, like sometimes all you
have the energy for is to...
What? You want to go do a bloody paper mache
class? Do you want to sit here and talk about our feelings?
I don't want to go
learn how to make clay pottery.
I just want to watch
the next season of Love on the Spectrum.
That's what I want to do and I want to watch it with my
partner in bed with a cup
of tea. Oh, that sounds delightful.
Do we sound a bit triggered?
Like maybe he's touched on a nerve?
No, he's right. He's 100% right.
Yeah.
Now I'm looking forward to getting home
tonight. We're watching True Detective.
Oh yeah, nice. Just finished Boy Sollows Universe.
So many good things to watch.
Best part of my day.
Bree and Clint.
I have been seeing this a lot on my TikTok lately,
and it freaks me out quite a lot.
Because when I first saw it come up, I was like,
surely not, this can't be real.
And then as I watched more videos, I saw that it was real and it's a procedure, a new trend that is starting to take hold where you can go in and permanently change your eye colour with a medical procedure.
Sounds dodgy as all hell.
You can permanently change your eye colour. So a lot of the videos are of people that have brown eyes
and they change them to either blue or green and it's creepy as.
Like it doesn't show or talk about on this TikTok
how exactly they do it or the process.
So I've done some research into what this actually is.
Okay, so how do you do it?
So apparently there's a couple of different procedures
that you can get.
There's something called a laser chemical dye procedure,
which is like a keratopigmentation practice,
which is where they use lasers.
And I'm not exactly sure how they do it.
And dye as well?
And dye, yes.
And then there's something else called a cornea,
no, there's something else called a silicon iris surgical implant.
So they put a little bit of silicon underneath your eyeball.
They cut your eyeball open and then they slide in this silicon implant.
Yeah, I know.
The producers are like, what is going on?
Which is like, do you remember those coloured contact lenses
that you could get?
It's like that, but it's underneath the surface layer
of your actual eyeball.
They put it under your eyeball so it covers your natural eye colour.
Or there's the laser one, which is, I'm assuming,
like just literally recolors your eye.
Anyway, I've done some more research into exactly the process and what are the side effects, how much it costs.
Is one of the side effects blindness?
Yes.
Yeah.
It is.
So, apparently, these eye colour change procedures,
none of them are FDA approved.
They all carry risks and include severe light sensitivity,
glaucoma, cataracts, corneal disease, vision loss and blindness.
It says here side effects may manifest shortly after a procedure
or take years to develop.
Yeah.
But then it also states,
that said,
many people who get the keratopigmentation
don't experience any side effects at all.
But how do you know?
So this is the thing with a new procedure
is in five years time,
it could have some big side effects.
Like the first breast implants that they had that they found out were toxic
to women's bodies.
Yeah.
And by the time it comes that it's bad for you,
the dodgy place that's done your eye surgery.
That'd be long gone.
That'd be long gone.
Yeah.
The first sign of trouble, they'll shut a business down like that.
Anything with my eyes, I'm just kind of like,
I feel like it's not worth the risk.
Like even if they were like, there's a 1% chance
that you'll have some blindness, I'd go, I'm good.
I'll keep my green eyes.
Thank you.
I'm okay.
Also, weirdly, everybody's eyes really suit them.
Like, no matter what colour your eyes are,
they're the right eye colour for you.
And so if you have it permanently changed,
