Z.M's Bree and Clint Podcast.
It's our radio show, but wrapped up in a neat little package just for you.
It's ZM's Brea and Clint Podcast.
Olivia Wilde, who is Harry Stiles's ex and Jason Sadegis's ex-wife.
Ted Lassau.
Yeah, Ted Lassow, who is Ted Lassow, has gone on the Call Her Daddy podcast,
which we've been talking about this week.
There's a part, because I watched the interview,
and there was a part of the interview that,
was brutal where she talks about the moment she knew that her marriage with Jason Sadegis
was done.
Ooh.
And it was a particular conversation.
Yeah.
That she recalls her and Jason having.
Yeah.
And it happened on her birthday.
Oh.
Take a listen.
March 2020.
We were driving home from my birthday party my friends had had.
and I said, did you give me a birthday present?
And he said, what would I get you, Olivia?
I don't know you.
And he wasn't wrong.
We didn't know each other anymore.
And that was a point.
That was when we realized it was over.
Oh, that's a douchebag answer, though.
Yeah, what, even if you're going through something,
you still get your wife a birthday prison.
That's not the Ted Lassow that I know.
No.
He would never.
God, that meant people forget how messy that breakup was.
It was very messy.
where he served her divorce papers while she was on stage.
Isn't that what happened?
Oh, yeah.
And that sort of all came out while she was dating Harry and...
God, you forget, because he plays such a likable, lovable character on Ted Lasso.
But he wasn't liked by a lot of people because that breakup was real messy.
And I don't think either of them probably handled it the best.
What's worse?
Not getting your wife a birthday present or a birthday present or a breakup.
answering her question like that.
I think it's the response.
The response is awful.
Yeah.
And she, it's, you know what's sad to me, though, is her saying, and he was right.
He was right.
We didn't know each.
He didn't know me.
But like...
Get to know your wife.
Yeah, awful.
Yeah, that makes me really sad, actually.
Pretty awful, eh?
Also, stink birthday.
I mean, I don't know.
I hope it was a good party, because that's a real.
buzzkill ending. What a crap birthday.
Claudia, didn't you have a birthday where none of your family got you a present or even
remembered your birthday? Yeah, it was, I think, last year.
Last year. Yeah, I didn't get a message from any of my family members.
That's crazy. Yeah.
Didn't feel good, but it was just, we were in different parts of the world.
I don't care. Don't make my messages. And when they're like, oh my God, I can't believe we forgot
your birthday. I think I got one, like, happy belated. And then the
rest were just no acknowledgement.
Yeah, that's not the best birthday.
And it had never happened before, so it wasn't like I expected that.
Had you done anything?
No.
Had you not put effort in with your family that year?
I mean, maybe.
And they were getting back at you.
They were like, yeah, she's been annoying.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's ruin her birthday.
Oh.
I found out on my birthday one year that one of my best mates was dating my ex that I still
wasn't over.
Oh, ha.
And no joke.
Like, it was like a scene out of a movie.
I was meant to go out with some friends for dinner that night.
And I was so gutted that I cancelled.
And I was in bed.
And I cried all day.
All day I was so dehydrated.
It was awful.
You lit some electrolytes.
You know what I was watching?
What?
I was watching.
So sad.
I was watching the Ellie Golding live performance of some shows.
show she did over and I would just go back to all of the slow songs and just re-watch them over
and over again and cry. That was my birthday. I think I was, I want to say my 24th birthday.
That's so sad and sucks that you had to cancel your plans. But can I say really smart to
cancel the dinner because that is the evening where you would have got so drunk and so sloppy
because you were so upset that I would have just compounded the problem. You know the biggest
reason I cancelled the dinner is because the friend that I found out was dating my ex
was the one that organised it.
So I was like, no, not going to this.
That's wild.
Pretty awful.
Are you guys still friends?
Hell no.
Are they still with your ex?
Hell no.
It lasted like a month.
But it was gut-wrenching at the time.
Yeah, I'll bet.
We want to know the terrible, awful, sad, bad thing.
that happened on your birthday.
It was meant to be all about you that day,
but someone else made it all about them
by doing something awful or saying something awful
or dying.
What was it?
What awful thing happened on your birthday
where you just thought to yourself,
on my birthday?
People who die on your birthday
are such attention seekers, eh?
So selfish.
ZDM's Bree and Clint Podcast.
So we've asked you,
what was the awful thing that happened on your birthday?
Man, this is a good topic.
There are so many, and I know they're all bad things, but they're good stories.
Great stories.
Let's go to the phones first.
Renee's here.
Hi, Renee.
Hello.
You've got a birthday curse.
No.
Go on, give us the details.
So, one, I was in Hawaii, and essentially I got sent home on my birthday because of COVID.
My kids talked to me.
Yeah.
My flight's home
And yeah, on my birthday
Which was horrible
I only got to be there for two days
My second one
My boyfriend cheated on me
At my party
On my birthday
Was my best friend
I was going to the Dust of Viva
Conference the next day
And I didn't get to go
Renee
Renee!
Renee!
Holy hell
That story just kept one-upping itself
I know.
Who went to the Justin Beaver concert?
Surely you get both tickets to the Justin Beaver concert after that.
I bet she bought them that bitch.
Oh, she sold her one and then we just, yeah, I didn't get to go.
I'm scared to do anything.
Oh, Renee.
Excuse my French.
What a mole.
Yeah, what a huckery mole.
Not happy.
Yeah, that was not a misuse of the word curse.
Poor Renee.
Olivia's here.
Hi, Olivia.
Hi, Olivia.
Hello.
What happened on your 20th birthday, Olivia?
Um, on my 20th birthday, Liam Payne died.
Oh, Jesus.
I was like a massive fan of One Direction growing up and I was at the mall shopping with my mom.
And it all of a sudden just like, yep, no, he's gone.
Oh, that's awful.
We get it, Olivia.
Our producer Claudia is also a mess of One Direction and Liam Payne fan.
Claudia cried for two days.
She couldn't work the day that he died.
It was two weeks I was crying for.
Never cried over a celebrity before.
God.
I was the same.
No, honestly.
I took two days off work because I'm so upset.
On your birthday, too, that sucks.
Let's go to Sam.
I know 800 dollars at him.
Sam, what happened on your 21st birthday?
Hi, I just want to say,
first time call a long-time listener.
You-yo!
Go, Sam.
Go, Sam.
Good to have you, Sam.
What happened on your 21st?
So I got really bad strep throat.
I went to the doctors, and then they gave me antibiotics.
Yeah.
And I had a full-body reaction.
hive from head to toe.
Yeah, so I was feeling
sorry for myself.
Went to go see my mum as you do,
and I got teabonded on the way
and my car was ridden off.
Are you kidding?
Sam.
No, no.
Oh, on your 21st, that's meant to be like...
Did you have a big party planned?
No, but just a few friends and I went to Rainbow's End.
Okay.
Yeah, like classic.
God, if someone teaboned me on my birthday,
I'd be telling them about it
I'd be like
and it's my birthday
they'd be like I am so sorry
You can buy me a present
A new car
Yeah yeah
Well my carola that I got out of the insurance
Is still going strong
Hell yeah
See glass half full Sam
We want to know what's the bad thing
It happened on your birthday
Abby what happened on your 16th
It wasn't my 16th
It was one of my friends
At the time 16th
Okay
And we went in to berate her mom
To buy us some alcohol
and we walked in
and she was in the process
of cheating on my best friend's dad
What?
Yeah
Wait, and you guys walked in on that?
Yeah, yeah
It's like, it's worse than walking in on your parents doing it
It's not even your, it's one of your parents.
When you say in the process
When you say in the process
Yeah, yeah, you get, you get it.
How in the process?
You don't have to be too graphic, but how far into the process?
I didn't ask, but like,
midway through, like, it was, like...
So about three minutes in then.
Oh, that's a bit generous.
That's a bit generous.
I don't want to be opportunistic, Abby,
but if your goal was to get her to buy you liquor
when you were underage,
you have all the ammunition you need
because you go...
That's how we got our liquor that night.
Yes, blackmail her.
Blackmail her.
Blackmail her.
This sounds like a story from a movie
It felt pretty cool until, like, my friend's family was ripped apart.
Oh, yeah, that sucks.
Yeah, that kind of puts a dampener on the whole getting her mum to buy you alcohol thing.
Did you get, like, a whole box of pals and a bottle of Picardy?
We got a bottle, which at the time was just, like, unheard of.
Like, I could have cruises, but no, I got a bottle of Smurnaw.
Yeah, girl.
Holy smokes.
That story, that story just had everything.
Some fast tics for you. My nan passed away on my 10th birthday, which sucked.
But it does make it easy to remember how many years she's been dead.
It does.
Well, I was 10.
That's so selfish of Nana.
Now I'm 20.
So Nan's been gone for 10 years.
No, she could have picked any other day.
I broke my arm on my seventh birthday and mum didn't believe me that it was broken until
the next day.
She's like, no, no, you can't have a broken arm on your birthday.
We'll deal with it tomorrow.
Someone said I had a severe asthma attack on my 8th birthday with no previous signs.
died. Yeah, that's not the best
birthday, is it? My son never lets me
forget that I had a heart attack on his
13th birthday. He is 17
now and he still goes on about how
I got to have the helicopter ride
instead of him. Far around.
Someone said, my grandmother's husband died on my 18th
birthday, then Cyclone
Gabrielle was on my 30th birthday.
My dad died
on my birthday, inconsiderate
bastard. Yeah,
you win.
There's so many.
There's so many.
There's so many texts.
There's some texts that aren't fit for radio.
They're so, like, intense and bad.
But just know we are reading them.
We see you.
Yeah.
We sympathise with you.
They're all valid.
Yes.
Even if it was just Jonah Lamu who died on your birthday.
It's still valid.
That's pretty devastating.
Oh, I cried.
Yeah.
