The ZM Podcast Network. G'day everybody, welcome to the number one podcast on threads. Can we claim that? Number one radio podcast on threads. I mean just claim it, people don't know. People can go check if they want. No one's even using their threads. No one's got enough time.

Obviously it came out around the world yesterday, our time. I saw a good thread, coincidentally, today that said, it was talking about people waking up today and anxiously checking the thread they rushed out just to be first on the app, trying to be funny. What was your first thread? It won't be good. My first thread was, this app is legit, which means that cage won't be good. My first thread was this app is

legit, which means that cage fight gone be wild. Oh, don't sigh. This app is legit? Why do you say that's legit? I mean that it works. It's like, it's good. Anyway, I didn't say it was good. Can I give you my poll results?

This poll can suck it yeah okay so for context i said to clint um this is great because kiwis aren't really on twitter and you were like no i was in 2010 you're reframing history here okay the words that you used were new zealanders never used twitter yeah you used were New Zealanders never used Twitter. Yeah. You said New Zealanders never used Twitter. No, I know that some do. Which is objectively wrong. I don't think I said never, but I know that it's not

part of like, we've got Instagram, TikTok, Facebook. Twitter. Twitter's been like, kind of like we know about it, but it's not our go-to. No, you don't use Twitter. So therefore you think it doesn't exist. No, no, no. No, I know.

You don't use Twitter. I don't care about that. I'm saying Kiwi. And you're about to give out some poll results. Shut up. No, no, no. You're about to give out some poll results that you have polled the echo chamber of your own followers.

This is the problem with social media. Oh, for sake. Is everybody just gets, it's like a loop of people that agree with you. No, it's not. It is. I've got a very, various amount of of friends who. I can't comment because I never used Twitter. Bree, shut up. That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying no one did. I'm just saying I never did. None of my friends.

That's not me saying that no one did. And you know what? Can I just say Twitter to me is such a clunky platform. Yes. Do you think? It's hard for you. Or am I just real dumb? It's not clunky platform? Yes. Do you think? It's hard for you. Or am I just real dumb? It's not clunky. It's just not sexy. No, it's clunky. The reason why I think I never like latched onto it

because I'm on it, but I could never really grasp it. I felt like it was quite clunky to use and quite hard to understand. It all links through really, really well and you can go back through conversations. I don't know why I'm defending Twitter. I was like, are you the Twitter guy? and quite hard to understand. It all links through really, really well and you can go back through conversations really easy. I don't know why I'm defending Twitter so hard.

I was like, are you the Twitter guy? I just don't like it when people come along and they say something that they don't use as irrelevant. I'm like, it's not. It's not. It's actually really, it's huge. Yes, but not in New Zealand. No. I'm not getting, I can't comment

because like I said, I never was really on it. So I can't comment. That's what I'm saying. I'm not getting, I can't comment because like I said, I never was really on it. So I can't comment. That's what I'm saying. I've observed. I'm social media lady with you guys. And all I'm saying is. Ella has polled her group of 21 year old friends to find out the results. I'm interested Ella.

What's the poll results? Oh wow. 127 people say that they never use Twitter nine people say yes they do it's their go-to app and 25 people say sometimes every now and then yeah so going into my dms now uh chris tech chris we love chris the guy who works here yes he says it's not my go-to but i scroll it daily so there you go. He scrolls it daily. God, I can't remember the last time I was on Twitter.

Exactly. The only thing Twitter has given me was that I tweeted Shania Twain a picture of me dressed as Shania Twain after I interviewed her once and then she tweeted me back. No. So I'm grateful for Twitter for that. Twitter is good for, like, tagging celebrities. Yeah, but I don't know how to do back. No. So I'm grateful for Twitter for that. Twitter is good for like tagging celebrities. Yeah, but I don't know how to do it.

And you kind of get more focus than Instagram. But we don't use it. And that's why I'm saying threads is fun because our friends are on it. And I rest my case. That's what makes an app fun is that your friends are on it. You're right. Yeah, I rest my case. Thank you, everyone.

And they're trying to reinvigorate the Twitter style of social media with threads. You're right about that. You know what else is a shit platform is Be Real. Get rid of it. I don't know what. Fuck off, Be Real. It's a shit. The whole thing about being authentic fun, but if people want to be authentic, they'll just post authentically on Instagram.

But then you're also a slave to the app because they force you to post when they say, you know. Being authentic is overrated. If you go out for dinner, people don't want you to show up authentically. They want you to put on some nice clothes and look your best so everybody feels good. What's authentic about that? Nothing.

And I don't want to see if you're going out for dinner on social media like, look, I'm parking my car. And now I'm walking in. Just going to the bathroom. I want to see the meal. I'd love to see your great outfit that you chose. I'd love to see that because that's you chose. I'd love to see that because that's interesting.

Your track pants watching TV, not interesting to me. Yeah, B-Real did create the interesting discussion that, what was it? I was going to say

something really smart. Oh, hang on. That... Social media is faking that people put the best performance in there. just being careful

about just showing the highlight reel. That's all I was going to say. Yeah, that was the premise of it, right? Yeah. Yeah. I could write an essay or a thesis about apps.

They're so interesting. God, fucking theses. I'll critique that thesis. And I'll critique your critique. Fuck, I hate a thesis or an essay. God, I wrote enough essays to last me a lifetime when I was at uni. I'm just going to follow Brie Thomasel on threads. Oh, oh yep i think i already follow you yeah we follow each other now circle jerk brie thomasel i'm only here for elon musk's first post on threads yeah he won't do it he won't do

it he deleted his instagram account but that's why it's funny yeah yeah it's a joke i watched the video of elon And his big armoured car That he released Yeah the something new The transformer The Cybertruck And he did a thing being like it's unbreakable It's bulletproof and then got someone to throw something at the windows

And they broke Yeah got a brick and it broke the whole window Oh we'll try the back window Part of me thinks that he knew that would make a viral video, though. The look on his face, though, was very, like, oh. It's so hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Like, it's so hard. Like, the Illuminati could tell you, but...

Do you guys reckon the Illuminati exist? What's, can you explain what they are? The Illuminati, essentially, is essentially is like this secret society of people that they say are super, like, all-powerful and control heaps of stuff. That's essentially what the Illuminati is. The controlling class. Okay, so that's interesting you say that.

My flight mates and I were talking yesterday. So, you know when there's a massive trend like the summer not a trend but a news event the submarine that takes over the whole whole world like the submarine was the miranda sing sort of thing you're going down a conspiracy hole here but yeah do they do you think it's you're talking about distraction media yes distraction yeah that's interesting so what do you believe okay we're gonna okay yeah yeah yeah i don't know it's this is a conspiracy but what do you think what do you think the submarine was distracting us from well there was a lot of other people that um also fell off a boat

or uh i don't actually know could be that? The what? Is there a meteorite coming? There was a meteorite, yeah. Yeah, see? And we don't know because I was distracted. Or just distract us from the world's... Problems. Problems and probable demise in the next however many years. Oh, yeah. Probable demise?

Yeah. Shit, that's grim. It's grim, but shit's that bad, my friend. Yeah. Like, global warming is that bad. If we don't change or, like, do something. That's scary. That is what's going to happen.

I don't know when. I'm not saying. You just said in the next couple of years. No, no, no. I don't mean the next couple of years, but in the next, like, 50 years, that could happen. Yeah. Definitely could happen in the next 50 years.

It won't. We'll get it sorted out before then. I reckon. Will we? Yeah, Elon could happen. Yeah. Definitely could happen in the next 50 years. It won't. We'll get it sorted out before then. I reckon. Will we? Yeah, Elon's got his Tesla. Yeah, I think this is the problem with humanity. It has to reach rock bottom before anything gets done. Yeah.

Because otherwise people are like, oh. That's a long way back from here, though. Do you guys remember when they – it's so interesting to think about now, like when they took away single-use plastic bags? Like that was such just a normal thing for so long. And then when they were like, we're taking them away, it was like a big deal. And then they did nothing else. They've just taken away straws and plastic spoons.

Oh, the straws thing's been around for a while. No, it's just been legislated. Oh, right. You now can't. A lot of places have been doing the straw thing because at the movies, when you get a freaking frozen Coke, you need to take four paper straws so you can drink your whole freaking drink. Bree, your last tweet was on the 1st of July 2020. Oh, geez, that's a long time ago.

And you write, sometimes I want to thank my younger self for not getting more drunken horrible tattoos. I do thank my younger self all the time. Your Twitter bio is broadcaster and part-time GB. Good bitch. Oh, you're a full-time GB these days.

Oh, thank you, Claude. You've upgraded. You've taken on more workload as a GB. Yep, just out here, you know, doing the Lord's work. Man, you'd be fucked off if you were Elon Musk about this thread thing. You'd be so angry. How much money

did he pay for Twitter? $40 billion. Wow! That's so funny. So I just re-threaded something on the Brian Clint thread. Rolling Stone saying a lawyer for Twitter sent a letter to Mark

allegedly saying they were hiring former Twitter employees for this app, so they might press charges allegedly. Oh, it's going to be an absolute shit fight in the octagon and out of the

octagon. I've just seen a meme where they've put Elon Musk's face on someone and someone says to Elon Musk, Sir, we've been replaced by Meta. And Elon Musk says, What's a Meta? And the person replies, Nothing. What's a Meta with you? The internet is undefeated.

We're going to go Yeah we got We're tired Follow us on the threads We'll get involved with the threads If you're threading We're threading So let's have a thread

Yeah I probably Will post once And then forget about it Post a nude Whoa That'll get the internet fired up That will

Yeah I don't have any good ones No we could take Oh That's going too far Can we just Can we put my face onto it fired up. That will. I don't have any good ones. That's going too far. Can we put my face onto a different body that's believable

but looks good? I don't know if I can Photoshop that. Can you Photoshop my head onto a naked body? Yeah. Well, not full nude. Have you seen? No shade to it, but I was not prepared I watched the new

What's her voucher? Is that her name for her vagina? Her coupon. Yeah, she used a coupon to get in for free. You get 50% off. Wait, you felt awkward about seeing Gina Florence's vagina because your mum had sacrificed her voucher? Yeah, she was there too.

This is complete. Wait, and so you're... I'm so confused. So her mum was in the room with her, but also her mum paid for that. Yes. So the money that was paid for it, well, the voucher that was used. But what's wrong with a naked woman's body? It was just not hers.

Your mum has a vagina. Oh, my gosh. Yes, I fell out of it. I wouldn't care if I saw that with my mum different relationship you know my mum would probably go oh she's I mean she's perky isn't she yeah mum and then I would feel
